ladies white shirt or blouse?

Question

I read that every womans wardrobe should have a classic long sleeve white shirt/blouse in it to mix and match for outfits. Do you have 1 in your wardrobe and do you wear it much? What was the last outfit your wore it with? and where did you buy your blouse. Hope to hear some great answers.

Answer 1

I have one that is button up and it's a 3/4 sleeve. I wear it when I have to look atleast a little business casual for certain things (usually around holidays). The last time I wore it was when someone at my husband's job was having a BBQ and we were invited, I wanted to give a good impression so I wore that with a nice pair of jeans and my black boots.

Anyways, I don't wear it often because I tend to try to avoid whites in my wardrobe, it tends to make it look like my face is flushed out. Actually, it's the only shirt I have that is white. lol.

Moving on, every woman I know has one, so what you read seems to be true. It's usually atleast business casual type of a shirt and we tend to wear it to work or to business opportunies and social events. I definately don't wear it anywhere else, doctors appt or shopping I go in whatever I'm comfy in. :D

Answer 3

I'm wearing my fitted white blouse now. it's time for a new one, though,since it doesn't look "starched" and not quite white. It still works for under sweaters and for home. It originaly came from the Gap, but I got it at a thrift store for under $5. I'll look for a new one the next time I go andkeep looking until I find one.

I like it because it' functional for all seasons and almost all occasions. I even got a maternity one, which I found marked down at a second hand baby and children's shop for $1. Igot it because it was chap and versatile. I don't like spending much on clothes to begin with, especially for clothes that I only wore a few months. As it is, I like to spend as little as possible and keep my clothes as long as possible.That's why I like classic items like fitted shirts.

Answer 4

I have several white tailored shirts that I wear to work with skirt suits. I normally by them from Next or Marks and Spencer. I do wear other coloured shirts to work but they are all pastels, pale pink, light blue, cream etc. When I am not at work I rarely wear white as I prefer bright coloured tops for casual.

Answer 5

I have a white sleeve, button up blouse with a colar, a plain white short sleeve t-shirt, and a plain whit long sleeve t-shirt.

Answer 6

Yes, I have one. It's from Wealth of Nations. I don't wear it very often because I'm lazy and hate ironing and this takes a fair bit to look really good. Can't remember last time I did wear it actually.
