Boiling Bows

Its hard to look cute when its this hot outside. I get it. That's why I love the feminine sleeveless blouse. But let's dress it up a bit. Add a big ol' bow to that mix and you've got an eye catching look.

Neck and Neck

Let's play with tie neck blouses. They are so feminine and easy to throw on and go. The detail that comes with this style makes it easy to add some stud earrings and walk out the door. Well, pants too, remember to add pants. While there are tons of tie neck tops out there, the ruffle detail is the perfect ingredient to add to this delicious recipe.

Ann Taylor, Floral Tie Neck Blouse, $79

Such a sweet color and pattern, but pair it with black jeans and booties and you can really have some fun with this top.

Asos, Navy London Blouse with Ruffle Blouse and Tie Neck, $83

A great neutral top for work or play. I also love the bell sleeve detail.

Macy's, CeCe Ruffled Tie Neck Blouse, $99

This top has a streamlined tuxedo shirt detail which is great to dress up or down with jeans or a suit.

Forever 21, Contemporary Tie Neck Top, $17

This top is a four season top in your closet. Think about it. Wear it with a pencil skirt in the summer or pair it with jeans and a cardi this winter.

No matter your style, a tie neck blouse is a great staple. Add these ruffles, and wow, you've got a great look!

The Game is Tied

I know we are in the thick of sweater weather but I have to throw in some options. I love a feminine tie neck blouse in the winter because it's great for layering. And when you are going from cold outside, to an overheated office, and then a cold conference room, you need options. Here are some of my favorite tie neck tops.

Ann Taylor, Sheer Sleeve Tie Neck Blouse, $89

This to top is so sophisticated. The pin dots on the sheer sleeves make this top look much more expensive than it is.

Nordstrom, 1.STATE Mosaic Print Tie Blouse, $89

I am pairing this with a navy blazer that is extra long. Very chic.

Macy's, Vince Camuto Ruffled Tie Neck Blouse, $89

This will be a staple in your closet. Jeans, pencil skirt, suit, you name it. Check out the peplum detail on the waist.

Anthroplogie, Tie Neck Swing Blouse, $98

I really love this swing hem. It's more casual than you standard button down but this rich color makes it easy to dress up.

The tie neck blouse was inspired by menswear but these wispy tops are anything but. Play with pattern, color, and fit to find the perfect option for you.

Scarf Dress

Today we're talking scarf dresses.  Now you may be thinking of a handkerchief style, but no I mean scarf.  A tie neck dress if you will.  This style is huge for fall in blouses and dresses.

Piperlime, Collective Concepts tie neck printed dress, $79

I love this abstract print and the 3/4 length sleeve. But please wear tights with this! It is short!

Topshop, Grey Frenchie Tie Neck Dress, $60

So sweet and secretary.  Now put on some patent leather pumps!

Need Supply, Betty Dress, $58

This color looks so vintage!

Fossil, Tawny dress, $39

What a fantastic graphic and the dropped waist is so interesting.  

I really love a silk tie top or dress because it is so feminine.  Do you love it as much as I do?
