Luckily, there are tons to choose from right now--from classic styles made by Equipment and Elizabeth and James to printed ones by Rachel Comey and Rag & Bone. Take a look.

I Need, I Want, I Have to Have: Lover's Watercolor Silk-Chiffon Blouse

I'd say the number of silk blouses Leah and I have amassed over the last few months is pretty shameful, but that doesn't mean I don't want another. In particular, Lover's nude-y pink poet's blouse. It's simply ideal--I love the shape, the color, the way that it will look amazing with my grey leather leggings as well as a sleek pencil skirt. Lover's known for their incredible blouses, so this season is their moment. Hopefully they're enjoying it. Available at Net-a-porter.com.
