Today's Everyday Fashion: The Smocked Blouse

 

Inspiration: Jonathan Simkhai and Aqua

 

Trying out a new trend today - the smocked blouse! My version is smocked in the torso with a slight pouf to the sleeve, but this can also apply to smocked sleeves like my inspiration. To dress up this look, I added two statement accessories - a scarf on my bag/hair, and bold earrings. Are smocked blouses a trend you’ve tried yet or are planning to?

Ps. My earrings are old but I gathered some below $10-75. I own that first pair - my all-time faves!
