The Little White Blouse

As every wardrobe should include (at least) 1 little black dress, every wardrobe should have several little white blouses. This simple staple is perhaps the most umportant item in your closet. Dress it up, dress it down, this item transitions from day to night seemlessly, from the offfice to a dinner party, from the casual comfort of denim to the elegant sophistication of a body-skimming black pencil skirt. Whether taylored, loosely fitting, collared or ruffled... whether worn with sleeves rolled up or down, with jewels or not... whether you've pulled it from your husband's closet or the boutique down the street, there is nothing quite as versatile as The Little White blouse. Casual, fun, flirty, sophisticated, elegant, youthful... I've several in my closet and if I had to walk away with just 3 items from my wardrobe I would pick a white blouse, my favorite jeans and a black skirt. If I had then to bring 1 pair of shoes and 1 accessory I would pick a pair of black shoes - perhaps my mules, maybe my slingbacks... and my accessory would be my chunky pearl necklace. You see, it's The Little White Blouse that will bring all these pieces together!
