Black, it’s such a happy color. I love a black blouse anytime of year but especially in summertime. Black instantly adds polish and sophistication to a simple outfit of shorts and a top. The square neck blouse (sold out now) I’m wearing has been in heavy rotation this summer and has been rolled and packed in my suitcase for every trip. I’ve paired it with white linen shorts and black gladiator sandals for the day and with flowy wide legged pants for evening. But the most uncomplicated and effortless twosome is the black blouse/black short combo. It’s the perfect summer in the city look for work meetings, evening drinks on the rooftop bar or dinner with friends. The perfect blank canvas for all your accessories!
Showing a little skin is a great way to stay cool and these back-baring, collarbone grazing beauties will have you turning heads this summer and all year round. Here’s a curation of the best black blouses out there. Many are on sale, so, it’s a great time for a mid-summer refresh!

I love you. Black is a happy color! Never thought of that before. I think I’m going to take your tips for my black which is navy or dark blue. Do you think it would work for this summer vibe?? Would you pair with navy pants/shorts and then also white??? Plus, do a post on foundations— like what would you wear with that back baring blouse? I love that blouse!!????

I love you. “Black is a happy color” is not something I have ever heard before but when you say it, I believe it. I am taking your tips for the black blouse to my ‘black’ which is navy or dark french blue. Do you think those colors would also give me the summer vibe you are talking about? Would you then pair with navy pants and the white shorts/pants? Plus, do a post on foundations soon- like what would you wear under that darling backless blouse? I love that blouse!
