We all know and love our wardrobe staples. They’re the pieces that make our wardrobes versatile and are lifesavers when facing the dreaded what to wear moment. One of my fave to go outfits when such style dilemmas arise is the white blouse and bottoms combo. It literally never fails and always leave you looking chic in no time. But I will say that the classic combo can use a little extra something other than a plain white button-down shirt. That’s why I was so hyped to discover Pause New York that offers a modern fashion-forward take on the staple white blouse. Plus, they’re all about sustainability current which is a win-win. The NYC shirt brand dreams up everything from lily white beauties with ballooning sleeves to asymmetrical shirts to die for. Of course, I fell in love with the Orchard Ballon Sleeve Top and styled it two easy ways that going to have you get dressed in no time.
THE WHITE SHIRT + JEANS + HEELS
It doesn’t get any more classic than a white blouse and a pair of jeans. But classic doesn’t mean basic. That’s why I love the Orchard Ballon Sleeve Top because it adds a fresh twist to the norm. I updated the classic by pairing it with my classic mom jeans from And Other Stories and my Primark snakeskin heels to update the classic. For a more everyday look, switch out the heels for a cute flat or sandal. This dreamy blouse will definitely be a conversation starter anywhere you wear it and it makes you feel so elegant and regal. The perfect fit for brunch, day party, summer day around the city.

THE WHITE SHIRT + STATEMENT TROUSERS + SANDALS
This choice is for my gals who wanna get a little more dressed up but still keep it casual enough for the day time. In keeping with the regal vibes, I paired the balloon sleeve blouse with my fave right golden trousers from Rabens Saloner. I love this combo for a late evening dinner or even a chic day running errands.
