SHEER BLOUSES FOR DAY & NIGHT

Sheer blouses are a gorgeous way to update your look this spring/summer.  Printed blouses in bold patters and bright colored blouses are a great option for work or a night on the town.  

Pair it with a cami tank top in a contrasting or complimentary color.  White, black, and navy tank tops are always safe choices for a work environment to wear underneath a sheer blouse.  But try it with a bold spring color tank or a skin color tank top to add a little pizazz.  Style example might be an orange sheer blouse with a navy tank top and a white pencil skirt.  Add chunky gold jewelry to compliment the look.  Not sure you can wear this to work?  Add a three quarter length sleeve blazer or a flowy cardigan over top.

Fit Tip:  If the blouse is flowy, pair it with a fitted bottom to show your shape.  If it is a wrap top that is sheer you can wear a more forgiving skirt or pants with it.

Pair this striped blouse with a tangerine skirt and a fuchsia tank top and bold jewelry.  For a more casual look try slim fit white capri pants with a tangerine, fuchsia, or bright blue tank top.
