For this back-to-work week, playful pinstripes are in order.

1. Pixie Market high collar blouse,
2. Mango coat,
3. Furla bag,
4. Dolce & Gabbana embellished pump,
5. Steve J & Yoni jeans,

Perhaps a fun statement blouse could ease the blow of going back to work?

Tie-sleeves make this striped staple shine.

I've decided it's time to up my button-down shirt game with a fresh-looking striped shirt. Timeless and versatile, it's the perfect (statement-y) foil to fall-ready skirts and pants.

Pretty much the most perfect buy-now, wear-later (and eternally ever after) tank top!

I am going to milk these last few weeks of summer in this shoulder baring top!

I love this dramatic take on the staple white blouse, but, unfortunately, it's from a few seasons ago and sold out. Wah! However, I did turn up this similar looking wrap-like alternative from that's actually a lot more office-friendly and, with the right styling, just as statement making. I also found these eye-catching updates on the white blouse from , , , , and.

I'm on the hunt again for the perfect white t-shirt, this time for the newly emerging oversized silhouette. Slouchy in the shoulders with nearly elbow-length sleeves, this trendy tee looks as if it were borrowed from a boyfriend--and yet it still possesses the ease and versatility of fitted t-shirts past. So far, I'm considering these options from (pictured above), , , , and .
