A Versatile Blouse (and a White Plum Giveaway!)
When I did the great purge of my closet, it was immediately apparent to me that tops were the mega weak spot in my closet.
For years, it was pants. I generally owned a single pair of jeans I liked. But right now, I have a decent collection of pants I like and that fit me well and I have to keep myself from buying more.
This blouse from White Plum is exactly what I was looking for. A nice mix of neutral and fun – I love the little studs on the hem, but I like that they are subtle too – and it’s easy to dress up or down. (If you use the code JANSSEN20, you’ll get 20% off your whole order until May 7th).
White Plum isn’t new to me (I wrote a post for them last year about my secrets for visiting a new city) and I love their wide variety of cute tops, dresses. And I really like that it’s a woman-owned business, started by a mom.
They’re giving away a $75 gift certificate to their shop (I have my eye on this top – I won’t even let myself look at non-shirt items right now), and you’ll definitely have no problem finding something you love.

I love that blouse – simple yet interesting.
I love this shirt! It would be easy to style it a bunch of different ways!

I love summer dresses and shorts! But long shorts, not short shorts. 😉
I have a tops problem, too, in that I have t-shirts and then good shirts for work, but nothing in the middle. I'm afraid of blousy ones, though; can you wash them? I haven't put a lot of effort/research into this yet, clearly. 🙂 But I have put an embargo on t-shirt purchases, even though I looove knits.
My summer staple is a maxi dress!

Since I'm 9 weeks pregnant, I fully anticipate my summer staple being maxi dresses. They look fabulous without any work and are SO comfortable!
I'm always looking for new tops. The one you have on looks right up my alley.
I love breezy tops for summer — especially that can be mixed and matched to wear to work or just a low-key day at home.
I feel you on the needing more tops problem. My problem is I'm realizing my whole wardrobe needs to be updated (25 and finally finding my style..)
I am late jumping on the maxi bandwagon, but I love them and can't imagine summer without them!
That top is gorgeous!
My favorite summer staple is a good pair of capris. They are my preferred summer pant for sure!
My favorite summer staple is maxi dresses or just dresses in general!
I love that top!
I spend the whole summer on dresses with a few skirts and t shirts thrown in for variety.
I need a shirt like that, it looks perfect for summer!
Love this white shirt- so cute and versatile!
This summer I will be 8+ months pregnant in Las Vegas (what were we thinking?) and so my summer staples include breezy maxi dresses and comfy cute sandals.
I am totally in the "in need of tops" club. I used to think finding jeans was hard but ugh, tops. Too sheer, too low cut, I'm not a huge fan of the high-low (I think it looks weird on me, maybe because I'm short?), too expensive, would ruin easily in the wash. Frustrating! I went out shopping with my mom this past weekend and told myself I needed tops and only tops. I got a maxi dress, cropped pants, jean capris, two sweat pants and yoga pants. Why?!!?!??!
My favorite Summer staples are dresses by the way. =]

My summer staple is definitely a pair of leather sandals.
