Unique and very pretty. This light blue striped button-down shirt has delicate lace sleeves and back inset, which creates an alluring yet covered up look. Such a fab twist on the mixed media trend. And a great way to add textural interest to your ensembles when you are in a ladylike mood. Wear it with a cream camisole for extra bra coverage, or sport a strapless bra. Or wear a pretty light lace bra sans a camisole. 

A lightweight chiffon button-down with a Monet-like floral print in gorgeous shades of green. This will take you from early Spring into Summer because it’s beautiful under jackets, vests, blazers, cardigans or worn on its own. Works well with white, cream, blue, grey, black and khaki-coloured bottoms. Fun metallic detailing on the collar. Add a cami because the fabric is sheer.

A crisp classic that never goes out of style. This button-down shirt has a bit of stretch for extra comfort. Easy to dress up or down, so perfect for the office and casual wear if you like woven tops. It comes in five other great colours: Hosta flower, White, Nostalgic lavender, True navy and Dark periwinkle blue. Also available in tall and petite.

As I write some of the colours are on sale for $34.99.

The stunning black and white graphic print makes this blouse a fab layering piece, but it will look just as beautiful worn on its own. Nice drape and interesting epaulette detailing. Covered yet alluring. Wear it to the office with dressy trousers or skirts. Or pair it with jeans, cigarette pants or slouchy trousers, throw on a fun jacket or cardigan and Bob’s your uncle.

The tonal jacquard woven animal print pattern gives this classic white shirt a playful and elegant touch. Great to add subtle textural interest to your ensembles. Will look fab with numerous types of bottoms: jeans, fancy jeans, slouchy trousers, wide-legged pants, flared and pencil skirts…  This shirt runs big and also comes in a cheery bright fuchsia. The latter is available in regular sizes too for $79.00.

Casual plaid shirts are very on trend right now. I like this one because the pinks are pretty and the beaded epaulettes make the shirt look more interesting when worn on its own. Pair it with a chunky cable knit sweater or a (patterned) fine-gauge pullover. Wear it with boyfriend jeans, fancy jeans, dressy trousers, leather pants or a skirt. Add a pair of sturdy boots or fun booties, and you’re sorted.

As I write this shirt is on sale for $52.90.

A delightfully dressy peplum that will add both pattern and shine to your party ensembles. Chic, very fun, and on trend. Peplums are also trending big time for next season. Perfect for evening with dressy trousers or a leather skirt, but also fab with jeans for a bit of daytime sparkle.

This sweet distressed little number is nicely shaped. The seamlines help you achieve a fitted look, and the faded wash gives it a nice worn-in feel. The shorter length on this casual classic works perfectly with skirts.

A delightfully green patterned wrinkle-free cotton shirt for plus sizes. It has a marvelous tailored shape and good depth of neckline. The breast pockets work surprisingly well on a larger bust line so don’t let them put you off. Also available in brown.

This is a good knock-off of the pricier Equipment blouse, and a great basic to wear both tucked and un-tucked. The silk fabric is sturdy and drapes like a dream. Comes in several colours. Chic and versatile. Read the rave reviews.
