Brilliant Blouses!

A lot has happened since you last heard from us. But after a few quick jaunts to LA and San Francisco, 2 weddings, a handful of road trips and countless days at the beach, we're back...and just in time for a few more summer-themed posts! Personally, we still start sweating every time we look at what lies ahead in fall fashion, so don't be surprised if we try to keep the spirit of summer alive for as long as possible.

One of the things we most look forward to this time of year are the epic clothing sales that occur as stores start making room for fall merchandise. While it's never a bad idea to stock up on sandals and swimsuits, one of our favorite sale items to watch out for are blouses. Whether they come in bright colors, crisp whites, or pretty patterns, blouses make perfect transition pieces from summer to fall, and will keep your wardrobe shining long after Labor Day weekend. Here's how we like to wear them, mixed in with a few of the best deals we've found:

 LoDo pairs a thrifted, lime green blouse with a bright, silk skirt by Lush and suede wedges from Banana Republic.



Soft blouses in neutral shades are a wardrobe staple any time of year. We're digging The Addison Story's silk blouse at Saks, on sale for $55.99

xLoGo wears a coral blouse by Matthew Williamson for Impulse, black Zara shorts, Dolce Vita snakeskin platform sandals, and an H&M color-block purse.

Tank blouses are perfect in summer heat, but double as great layering pieces for fall. Check out this Sleeveless blouse with Lace Detail at ASOS, which is a steal for only $17.24

We love the subtle print and loose cut of this Japanese Floral Smock Shirt by ASOS, on sale for $24.13
