It took me awhile to find the tie blouse style I used to pair with many of my suits. I liked the style because in a male dominated career area, I always felt my style was if not more so, as conservative and formal as the suits and ties of my male counterparts.
The illustration below shows a recent purchase in light purple of the top/blouse style I so loved in my early career days. Note, my earlier versions of the styles were either silk or rayon, whereas my new tops are knits.
In June of this year when I first ordered six tops in various colors of the same style, I envisioned offering the item as a women's fashion option via my online ecommerce platform, WiredShops. This because the style these days is so hard to find.
My plans fell through because though I love the hard to find style and think it attractive on most women, the buttons on several of the tops were not what I wanted and I was unsure whether my supplier could handle any and all demand levels.
Nevertheless, I am very pleased with my new tops. Yesterday when I left the house around 8:30 AM, the temperature was in the high 60s and I wanted something to keep me warm without wearing a blazer or coat. I paired the top with an older pencil skirt in an egg plant shade.
I also had to adjust my makeup for the lighter purple of the top. I left the house
wearing pinks and lavenders insofar as makeup, however purchased a new makeup
pencil while out, so upon my return, played around with my makeup shades to see if I liked the
new pencil.
The colors I ordered in the new tie, button up knit top style:
- Black
- Cream
- Burgundy
- Caramel
- Aquamarine
- Light Purple
