I'm just saying, this outfit is going to be iconic on you! The way the white ruffle sleeve blouse creates this gorgeous architectural detail against the military inspired olive pencil skirt is absolutely brilliant. I'm obsessed with how the lace up detail adds this unexpected edge to an otherwise classic silhouette. Those metallic slingbacks? Pure genius for elevating the whole look!
Trust me on this one I'd style your hair in a sleek low bun to really let those romantic ruffles take center stage. The compact powder is perfect for maintaining that polished look throughout the day. I always keep mine handy for quick touch ups!
You're going to rock this at:
Between us, I'd suggest wearing a seamless nude slip under the skirt to prevent any cling. The slingbacks might need gel inserts for all day comfort I always keep a pair in my bag when breaking in new heels!
Oh my goodness, let me tell you about the versatility! That blouse would look amazing with high waisted jeans for casual Fridays, and the skirt? Pair it with a fitted turtleneck in winter, and you've got a whole new look.
While these pieces might be investment worthy, I've found similar ruffled blouses at Zara, and H&M often carries great military inspired skirts at budget friendly prices. The silhouette is timeless, so it's worth spending a bit more on the core pieces.
The blouse should float away from the body you want those ruffles to have movement! For the skirt, make sure the lacing sits flat against your hip. I'd recommend going up a half size in the slingbacks if you're planning on wearing them all day.
Between us, I always hand wash the blouse to keep those ruffles pristine. The skirt should be dry cleaned to maintain that structured shape we love so much.
There's something so powerful about mixing feminine details with military inspiration it creates this amazing balance of soft and strong that I absolutely adore. You'll notice how the outfit commands respect while maintaining approachability perfect for leadership positions!
I love how this look transitions from day to evening just add some statement earrings and you're ready for after work events. The neutral palette means you can wear this year round, making it a true wardrobe MVP!
This combination of the ruffle blouse and olive skirt is genius! I never thought military inspiration could look so feminine
Would this work for a high profile job interview? I have one coming up at a law firm next week
Those silver slingbacks are stunning but I'd probably need to pack flats in my bag for commuting. Anyone else do this?
I'd swap the silver heels for nude ones to make it more daytime appropriate. What do you all think?
The lace-up detail on that skirt is everything! Though I might struggle with keeping it properly aligned throughout the day
You could totally dress this down with white sneakers and a denim jacket for weekend brunch
Just bought a similar blouse but the ruffles are overwhelming my petite frame. Any styling tips?
For the interview question above definitely! Just make sure to keep the makeup natural with that compact powder
My concern is the white blouse staying pristine during a full workday. I always spill my coffee
The silver slingbacks actually make this outfit much more versatile than nude ones would
Has anyone found a good dupe for this skirt? The original is way out of my budget right now
A sleek ponytail would look amazing with this to balance out the ruffles on the blouse
Not sure about mixing olive and silver personally. I feel like gold accessories would work better here
This would be perfect for my courthouse appearances minus the ruffles maybe. Too dramatic for legal settings?
The compact powder is a lifesaver for touch-ups. I keep one in my desk at all times
Wonder if the skirt comes in other colors? Navy would be amazing for corporate settings
