The Look: A White Blouse

Mar 4, 2013 at 4:00am by Michelle Phan

Hi everyone,

It’s getting to be that time when I get tired of everything in my closet. But with a little style imagination, there is always a way to stretch the life of basic items in your closet. Take the white collared shirt, for example. It’s a classic wardrobe staple—it’s sleek, chic and can be worn a dozen different ways. Check out these five distinctive looks that will make that old white blouse in your closet feel brand new again.

Look #1: Casual and Relaxed

      I love the first and the last look. I would pair my white blouse with black pants/skirt then black pumps. I'm going to spice it up by adding accessories such as this black ring and orange drop earrings.

      i think these looks are so pretty and im not making excuses for being plus size but i do wish u would show looks for plus size girls.. i have had three kids and gained weight from it and other factors.. but it would be nice to have a way to find good cute ideas.. i can go into plus size stores but i am lost i have no idea what to look for.. so if u have any idea.. that would be awesome <3

      You gonna laugh...
      I don't even have a basic white shirt in my wardrobe^^;;

      Maybe you should do a "basic clothes for your wardrobe" video so as I can gradually buy at least basic items^^;;

      I like looks #1 and #3 the most.
      I'd like to see the look on some model, cause sometimes the idea you have of a look and the actual impression of the look when you wear clothes is VERY different!

      Can't wait to see who will be chosen as member of the moment^^

      Thank you so much! I need this one. Love the casual look!!! And I am really glad you are doing an article on basic clothing. I am building a minimalist wardrobe and these tips really help. I would love to see a video on how to build a minimalist wardrobe or just how to redesign/build your wardrobe for every occassion. For so many years I bought what was "in" and things on a whim that when the time came for certain occassions I never had what I needed. For lack of a better term I was a disorganize shopper. I think a tutorial like that would help a lot of women. And you should do one for guys too. They need as much help as we do. Thanks for reading my comment. :-)

      LOVE 4 and 5, exactly my sort of style... I might have to give styling my white shirt a try, I usually reserve it for work and don't really think of it as casual wear
