WIW 6/29: Emerald Equipment blouse

Got this shirt off e-bay. It's becoming a bit of a uniform for me with these shirts!

Equipment shirt
studded belt
Old pants from Express
studded Danskos
Silpada cuff

Feedback welcome! Sorry about the white spot on my knee - my camera is dying and this is the best of the shots I took. You can see how grumpy it was making me.

Looooooove! It's a bit of a uniform for me, too - and if men can have uniforms, then why can't we? I wish pants came in more colors; then we'd be set!

Superb look for you! No wonder it's becoming a uniform

Great color blouse as well.

Don't you love their finish and drape? So simple, yet so elegant.

That emerald is beautiful on you. When you find something that just works, it's hard to avoid making it a uniform - I've got three Nexx shirts myself.

Rae, you are right - I was racking my brains to think of more non-skirt options to wear on the bottom with this shirt besides black trousers!

We need to start a thread to show all the ways YLF wears this shirt, since it's becoming a cult classic like the Halogen skirts.

Emerald shirt is a winner! How lucky of you to get if off eBay. It looks fabulous in a classic yet easy work look like this one. Or, you can wear it with your edgier casual looks. A workhorse for sure.

My camera is dying too. It still takes pictures but the LCD screen on the back is dead black, so all of my shots are guestimates. I am curious if you are in the market for a new one. I keep putting it off.

I am. I use our really old one, but it's showing all these weird "bubbles" on the pictures, or out of focus. And we just ruined our other one getting sand in the mechanism. We really need a destruction-proof digital camera, as my DH has a big SLR that he brings along for real photos. I hate doing all the research though!

Any suggestions? Are you looking at anything particular?

I'm your *camera in it's death throes* triplet I think. DS took it to prom and it came back with glitter and sand in the battery compartment. Of course he has NO idea what happened to it! Grrrrr.

Score on this blouse! Seriously. I love the color with your fresh from vay-cay tan!

WOW that color is just amazing, this is a wonderful "uniform"! If I had unlimited funds I'd have soooo many silk shirts in soooo many colors.

Aida, I feel the same! I've managed to get three at half-price or less, soI think I'm going to hold off on looking for more for a bit. I've got green, orange and grey, which covers my three main color areas (blue/greens, red.oranges, and neutrals).

Well if it's a uniform I can see why. This look is very flattering. Your legs look long & the colour of the shirt is great with your complexion.

This is the second time you have posted emerald and black and made me want to copy you exactly....I didn't go for the emerald skinny and black HL sweater look as I need more structure, but now I will have to stop by the store and pick up the emerald/kelly green blouse I didn't buy last week . I just HAVE to copy this. Love the belt!

It's a great look, no wonder it's becoming a bit of a uniform. It's classic, but the colors of the shirt brings interest. Love it.

Are you kidding? This is awesome. I saw signs yesterday for a new Equipment store opening up in soHo this summer. I am definitely saving some bucks for a couple of these blouses.
