I saw this blouse the other day when I was in Anthropologie and immediately knew I could re-create it with what I already had.

Gelateria Blouse – $98

Very easy to re-create don’t you think? Everyone has a button-down white shirt (even a different colored solid shirt would probably work.)

I used the J Crew Slim Stretch Shirt in White and a black sash from a dress I had. I’m partial to navy blue so I think I’ll go by the hobby store and grab some satin ribbon. I also had to double-bow the sash I had.

Bow in front

Bow on the sideI love this. Of course the J Crew Bouquet Sash Belts will work. I also found this one on Etsy.

Navy Blue Magnolia Silk Flower Belt by carolinabean $48

I think it gives the classic white shirt a little update.
