The blouse is one of fall's key pieces, and ArgusLeader.com wanted the scoop on how to rock it like a pro. "The main caveat with a blouse is looking too old lady or like a politician's wife," I explain in the piece penned by Janna Farley, advising would-be-wearers to pair their blouses with vintage necklaces, chunky watches, or ankle-length boots. "Try it with one of the season's high-waisted, wide-leg jeans in a dark wash and a fabulous towering platform. Or, for a more rocker chick feel, wear it under a shrunken blazer with a skinny jean and ankle boot, like Kate Moss. If you work in a field where jeans in the office are a no-no, wear it under a sharply tailored pant suit in a menswear fabric, a la Bill Blass."
