STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Button On, Button Off

We’ve all been there and done that with the high-waisted jeans and a crop top ensemble. But how can we spice up the classic combo without tainting an already fashionable outfit?

A simple button-down blouse can easily amplify such an outfit without making it look tacky or overpowering to the eyes. In fact, it can actually pull together the outfit as the way this Fashionista has paired it. Since this Fashionista’s jade green blouse added a new element of color to her outfit, it helped restore the balance to the overall look by incorporating a new tone. In doing so, this can help avoid an outfit from becoming overly single toned and flat. The cuffed sleeves complemented the daintiness of her heeled sandals while still allowing for a more casual and relaxed feel, making this outfit very school appropriate.

Since her crop top alone displayed a new texture and pattern to her outfit, a plain patterned button-down blouse was her best call to avoid competition of a focal point. However, if you try implementing this style advice with a more simple crop top, try incorporating a more bold button-down blouse to keep the outfit from looking washed out. The idea isn’t necessarily to blend each piece of clothing with one another, but rather to keep a nice equilibrium between bold and simple.
