Styled: Seurat Posie Blouse

undefined

This post is for Stephanie, who asked for styling options for the Seurat Posie Blouse (no longer online at Anthropologie, so link is to Bergdorf Goodman).




This blouse has such a lovely mix of colors! The only thing that kept me from buying it was that I'd already invested in the Drenched Helenium Tee and Paragon Top. We're admittedly taking a heavy-handed cue from Anthropologie with this first outfit, styling the blouse under a dress. But the look is so great it's worth revisiting! The belt is optional, I find it helps to keep the blouse in place when used as an underlayer but one of my co-stylists is anti-belt.

Though the blouse doesn't have red in it there are cues towards it so the accessories and shoes both work. We chose brown as the neutral tone to work against but this outfit could also work with taupe or black.

In this outfit:
All Trades Dress (now $20)
Seurat Posie Blouse (now $140 - link to Bergdorf Goodman!)
Bouquet-Of-Roses Heels ($138)
Hummingbird's Gift Tote ($338)
Radiant Necklace (similar here and here)
Bits-Of-Ice Bracelet ($48)
Frenesi Posts ($28)
Interlocked Belt ($48)
Hue Opaque Tights ($13)





For this second look we went brave fashion forwardinista (I think I just made up a word). The vest adds a tailored look to this flowy blouse and the mini says "I ain't afraid of no ghosts cold!" We chose a grey vest to keep the top from getting too heavy but you could sub it out for black, chocolate brown or any of the colors in the shirt. We attempted to pull the colors out with the purse while the wingtip shoes have the same grey tone found in the blouse with an airy feel. All you need is a brimmed hipster hat and your transition is complete.
