Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Button Down Blouse

11/02/2012 By 166 Comments

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Collective Concepts Button Down BlouseWow — there are seven glowing reviews for this polyester blouse, from Collective Concepts. The reviewers note that while it’s a bit sheer, it’s great with both a pencil skirt and skinny pants. All four patterns seem cool, too — I’ve pictured the “blue ditsy” pattern, but there’s also a simple black and white polka dot, a pink/orange “brushstroke” floral, and a cool mint green geometric pattern. They were $69, but are now marked to $47.99 at Piperlime. Collective Concepts Button Down Blouse

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Peacock Shirt with Tie

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

BASLER Peacock Shirt with TieI feel like I am seeing beautiful blouse after beautiful blouse this season — including this gorgeous peacock-themed one from BASLER. I love the vibrant teal and royal blue, mixed with the more muted brown and green, and I love the ombre effect — I think it would look stunning by itself, and very chic under a blazer or cardigan. I’m a bit . . . intrigued? . . . that a $350 blouse is made from polyester, but it is machine washable, so there you go. It’s $350 at Bloomingdale’s. BASLER Peacock Shirt with Tie

MARC BY MARC JACOBS Top - Exclusive Evie Silk Long SleeveOooh: I really like this red Marc by Marc Jacobs top. Love the round collar, the three-quarter length sleeves, and the fluid feel. I always feel like these flowy, meant-to-be-untucked blouses work best with straight or cigarette pants — what are your thoughts, readers? This silk blouse is $248 at Bloomingdale’s.

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Cotton Cummerbund Blouse

Akris Punto Cotton Cummerbund BlouseHello: love this blouse. Admittedly, the color is half of it — I have an entire wall of my bedroom painted this color — but it’s the little details that I love the most: the interesting shape to it, the stand collar, the hidden placket, the cotton eyelet. I’d wear a black camisole under this, or perhaps (perhaps) a dark purple camisole. It’s $795 at Saks. Akris Punto Cotton Cummerbund Blouse

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Women's Polka Dot Silk BlouseLands’ End Canvas has some great deals on blouses right now. I like this little polka-dotted number — the three-quarter sleeves and “mockneck” give it a fresh look. I’d wear it with a gray pencil skirt, perhaps accented with a yellow belt. It was $89.50, but is now marked to $39.99. Women’s Polka Dot Silk Blouse

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Animal Print Blouse

I am loving this blouse from Sabine, available at Piperlime. Love the relaxed vibe to it and the colors. For the office, I’d wear this with a high white camisole (because I am opposed to nude-for-you camisoles) and a blazer, tucked in.  In terms of accessories, almost any necklace would work — if I wanted to give it some gravitas I’d wear my pearls, and if I wanted to have more fun with it I might layer some more delicate pendant necklaces.  It was $89, but is now marked to $44.99.
