One of the perks about working in the fashion industry is the luxury of having more creative lax in our work attire. So, when we saw this vintage, 70's-esque, bow-tie blouse at Haute Olive boutique, we knew we wanted to showcase this as a work outfit. Stylist Bettina Bati paired the breezy striped blouse with a crisp, white and navy striped blazer. Mixing two different, yet complementary patterns is one of Spring's biggest trends. The key is to make sure one pattern is smaller than the other. Then, Bettina topped off the look with some neutral bangles and fun sunglassses just for kicks. Putting this whole look together at the vintage store was a breeze which showed that vintage shopping isn't as daunting as it may seem. Though you do have to set aside some patience to sort through the clothes, you will be pleasantly surprised by what you will find!Get the look:
