Alex and I had so much fun swapping styles before that we decided to do it again! As soon as Alex asked if I was game, I immediately knew which of her outfits I wanted to "steal." (Is it stealing if I give her credit?)
I know I've mentioned the versatility of detailed blouses before, but these wardrobe staples become even more important to me as the temperature rises. When it gets hot, layering scarves and blazers to add interest just isn't an option. For that reason, I love sleeveless blouses with cute details (like the real bow and the cute printed bows on this blouse). You can throw one on with a pair of jeans or shorts and you are good to go!
In other news, have you seen this picture that is making its way around the interwebz?
Allergies have seriously been kicking my behind lately! Pollen in the Washington D.C. area is out of control (I didn't have such serious issues in the lovely state of Michigan, that is for sure). Anyway, I am currently enjoying my spring break by sitting on the couch with my cat and a roll of toilet paper that I'm using as Kleenex. I know, I know, cue the song "Glamourous" by Fergie.
And don't forget to stop by Alex's blog to see which of my styles she recreated today!
What I'm Wearing:
Blouse: LOFT (similar, similar) <--Neither of these feature bows but I liked the ruffles and stripes!
Jeans: LOFT (exact)
Sandals: From France (similar, similar)
Linking-Up:
Penniless Socialite- Favorite Fashion Friday
Simple Sequins- Fashion Item Friday- Think Pink! (let's support Renae as she continues to fight cancer!)
Style Elixir- Friday's Fab Favorites

Right?! No amount of Claritin seems to be helping!
DeleteLove it! I'm so glad we did this again, girl!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It was almost like Christmas morning finding-out which of my styles you decided to use :)
DeleteThis is so cute! You both look great in this look. I love the bow (and bows!) on your top!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) My students always think that the print is little horses for some reason. Haha.
DeleteLooking good, and Alex does too. Very cute. Style swapping seems like a lot of fun. Would love to try it sometime. Rachel xo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel! "The Brandied Pair" and "My New Favorite Outfit" used to do an actual Style Swap Link-Up. I'm hoping they will do it again because it was so fun!
DeletePink is a GORGEOUS color on you, and this shirt is perfection, which is no surprise. It's from LOFT; do they ever not knock it out of the park? The bows are so darling, and I so wish I had this top in my closet :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! You're right, you can never go wrong with LOFT! I just have to be careful not to spend too much money in there :)
DeleteSo cute that you copied Alex' Spring break look on your Spring break. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Selah! I didn't even occur to me that this was her Spring break look also! Too funny!
DeleteAdorable! Both of you & I love both looks. The colors are great on both of you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! This shade of pink is definitely one of my favorites!
DeleteThis is so much fun. I adore the pink blouse. Not only is it my favourite colour but the print is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Imogen! I agree! LOFT nailed it with the pink AND the bows!
DeleteYou both look fab! I love detailed tops too. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving me a sweet comment Whitney, much appreciated>

Thank you so much for stopping by, yourself :)
DeleteOMG Whitney you look adorable and so ready for Spring. I absolutely love bow-tie blouses and I love a bow print. Your top has both - how cute!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a Lovely Easter. Ada. =)
Thanks, Ada! I definitely hit a bow home run! Haha. I hope you had a wonderful Easter as well!
DeleteWhat a fun idea....a style swap! What's the point in sharing outfits with each other if we can't use them, right?!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny..the death star comparison with pollen. It really is SO bad this year. I have to take out my contacts at 4 every day.
Exactly! We might as well draw inspiration from one another! Good luck with those allergies...I'm finding I can't live without Claritin!
DeleteThat's such a cute blouse! I love the double bows- the print detail AND the bow in front. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is quite a perfect blouse, in my opinion :)
DeleteI absolutely love your top! The color and bows are too cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You can't go wrong with bows!
