I don't usually post outfits with items I'm planning to return, but this Olivia Palermo top was just too good not to share!! When I got home and saw this picture, I was pretty convinced that my LOFT shirt is the actual shirt she is wearing. The fit on mine is a bit more frumpty dumpty, but I think that's because it is a size too big (the XS was sold out at the store), and she also has a slimmer skirt on the bottom, which is balancing out the looseness up top. As discussed in this shopping update, the top is going back in favor of another bow blouse I found a few days later and liked more, but don't you just love knowing celeb looks are obtainable on a budget? 

ps. I've done 6 outfits with this pleated skirt so far, but this first one is still my favorite!
