one blouse - three ways

Hi all! Welcome back to SimplyChic!

Today I wanted to share a post where I incorporated one blouse into three different outfits to give you an inspiration for a blouse that you might have had for a while, just hanging in your closet. It's time to take it out into the world! Here are three ways that you can wear your blouse.

As always you can never go wrong pairing up black items into one outfit! Here is how I wore my blouse with a pair of pants, under a dress, and tucked into a skirt!

This blouse is perfect for the office or for a day out on the town. If you have been following Simply Chic for a while then you know I am all about wearing versatile pieces. The ruffles in the front definitely dress it up and the silky material also adds the dressy look to it. I love wearing vertical stripes because they look flattering on everyone.

By wearing heels and tights in the same color as the skirt (3) or the dress (2) it visually elongates the body. So if you are self-conscious, like me, about your height, and want to appear taller, this is one of the visual tricks that you could do.

Don't feel like your accessories have to match or even correlate to the outfit. As you can see in outfit (1) and (3) my bag and clutch don't go at all with the outfit. I think it makes a statement and brightens up the outfit.
