Today, I’m continuing my Kohl’s roundup of back to school outfits. If you missed Part I of my finds, check it out here.
Blouses and Tops
This Simply Vera by Vera Wang blouse might just be my favorite. I love the high-low design, and the vertical stripes make it super flattering. Pair it with denim, khaki or gray pants if you’re not comfortable wearing white to work. I’m in my true size medium.
These blouses are perfect for back to school when the weather is still hot. These are lightweight and airy, which is always a plus in my book. I’m wearing a medium.
Another one of my favorites! These gorgeous green floral blouse is one of those great transitional tops that I would wear to work and on weekends. This also looks cute with a white cardigan or blazer over it. I sized down to a small in this.
I have a love/hate relationship with linen. I love the look, but hate the wrinkles. Lucky for me, this is a linen blend, so the wrinkles quickly came out with a quick steam. I truly love everything else about this top though. The buttons, the stripes, the balloon sleeves… it all just works for me! The buttons are functional, and I like the option of undoing the last button and tying it to change up the look. These Lauren Conrad jeans are also great! I tend to wear jeans to work on Fridays, but I still like to look professional. I feel like the fit and wash of these is perfect. Definitely size down in the top- I’m in a small. The jeans fit TTS- I’m in an 8.
I shared this Simply Vera by Vera Wang blouse in my last blog post, but I wanted to give it another shout out because it’s just so pretty and perfect for work. I recommend sizing down in this. I’m in a medium, but would have preferred a small.
Camis
Onto some camis. I love these on their own in the summer, but they double as a great layering piece for work. They are juniors sizing, but I found them TTS and bought them in a medium. These are great under cardigans and blazers. They come in bunch of colors and prints. I feel like these are such a great staple for work.
Blazers
Onto some great work blazers that won’t break the bank! It can be tricky to find a good blazer for work that’s inexpensive and has a good fit. These blazers by Apt. 9 are definitely a winner for me. I preferred the fit of the small over the medium because I wanted them to be more fitted. I don’t plan on buttoning them (or I’d stick with the medium). These do come in other colors, but you can’t go wrong with classic black and white.
Dresses
I shared a bunch of dresses in my last blog post, so I’m only highlighting one today BUT, it’s a good one! How gorgeous is this dress? I feel like it could be considered a midi or maxi depending on your height. I’m 5’3″ and it’s about ankle length on me. It has a cinched elastic waist (the tie is non-functional). It also has a built-in slip, which is a added bonus! I’m in my true size medium.
