Statement Sleeves

What to wear to work

In case you couldn’t tell, gingham is one of my favorite patterns for spring and summer (proof here and here), and as much as I love a classic silhouette in traditional blue and white, who could resist a black and white wrap blouse with statement sleeves? This blouse is under $60 with a double ruffle on the sleeve, and a flattering tie at the waist. (Full disclosure that it doesn’t come in petite, so I had to pin mine to keep the wrap in place).

I paired my gingham top with a pair of jeans in the palest of pinks and added my go-to mules to make it an office-friendly outfit. I’m a little rumpled because this is at the end of a full work day (#reallife), but I think I still look pretty good. Significant credit goes to my second day curl savior and a bold lip, but the statement sleeves definitely don’t hurt!

It’s been chilly this week in NYC, but we’re heading to California for the weekend and I’m definitely hoping for some warmer weather! Make sure you’re following me on Instagram to keep up with our travel adventures!
