What to Buy Now: Feminine Blouses

*Announcement* - for some unknown reason, my twitter account was randomly suspended, so I will let you know when it's back up! has anyone had this happen to you?

I don't know about where you are, but here in NC - Fall is in full bloom. Stash away your tank tops and denim shorts (well unless u want to pair them with tights and booties) and bring out the riding boots, comfy sweaters and skinny jeans! There is something about fall that just instantly makes me happy - nonfat pumpkin spiced lattes, over the knee boots, chunky infinity scarves, leaves candle from bath and body works, cardigans, and MORE!

A trend that I am loving this season is: the feminine blouse. You can literally wear this with EVERYTHING. Blouses are great because you can transition them from work to night or weekend with just some easy transitions. Pair a blouse with a pencil skirt or black pants for work, for a more casual look - pair with skinny jeans, a cardigan and boots or cutoff denim shorts, tights and booties! For a night-time look, you can wear any blouse with leather shorts and heels, with a pair of leather leggings, or tucked into a bandage skirt.

You can find these blouses anywhere but I have highlighted my favorites down below.

Just bought this gorgeous white top on my lunch break at Nordstrom
It is by Bellatrix and retails for $78 - I bought it in the white, but it also comes in the color "paprika"

This maroon top is by patterson $98 (one of my favorite brands) - this deep red color is perfect for fall

This next top is BCBGMAXAZRIA $168 brings in the animal print trend of the fall as well - imagine how great this would look with black skinny pants and sky high heels

This next top is by DVF $298 is definitely on the splurge side, but this top really can take you from season to season and the shape and fit is great.

This Boyod blouse may be my favorite - I have been admiring it since I first saw it in August but at $205, it is definitely a splurge to think about because of the sequined detailing - this top would be great for the holidays (christmas and new years) so I am thinking it may be worth the splurge - what are your thoughts?

F21 "Blouses and Shirts" also has some great budget-friendly options and same with Francesca's Collection

stay tuned for vlogs (haul and favorites) coming up soon (will be up tomorrow I promise!)
