WORK OUTFIT : Banana Republic Floral Overlay Blouse

Hi everyone,

I am starting a work wardrobe series!  I mainly wear scrubs and tennis shoes in the hospital so my work wardrobe series will mainly be outfits suitable for clinic/office wear.  I'm kick starting this series with the Banana Republic Floral Overlay Blouse.  I love this blouse because it is very versatile.  You can pair it with  chino shorts, blazer, and a pair of sandals for weekend casual wear.  Or you can toss on a pair of trousers/ pencil skirt with ballet flats for weekday office wear.  The fitting is true to size.  The cutting also accentuates the waist so it won't look boxy/shapeless from the side.  The material is not stretchy.  My only complain about this top is that the floral overlay material is rather stiff so when I sit down, the top folds and wrinkles around my waist line.

You will see me wear this pair of knit skirt a lot.  It's so comfortable and stretchy.  I love the cutting because it's a pencil skirt that is really slim fit from hip to knee.

Lastly, I mentioned on my older post that I would compare the XS from PXXS.  My final verdict is to return mainly because my hubby isn't a fan of the top.  He still thinks it's too loose.  This is what PXXS looks on me.
