Detach it....if you can!


H&M  Paillette Collar Peplum Blouse








Blouse: H&M  (Available in stores, $49.95)
Belt:  Swiped from a dress
Skirt & Clutch:  Karen Millen  (Similar Skirt)
Peeptoe Pumps:  BCBGeneration  (Get it Here)
Bracelets:  Ebay (Last seen here)
Watch:  Fendi
Sunnies:  House of Harlow 1960  (Get it Here)
I came across this detachable paillette collar blouse when H&M's summer sale had just started!  If you frequent that store, you know the SALE racks are located in the front of the store!  Since this blouse was a new arrival it was tucked all the away in the back of the store!  To be perfectly honest, I only noticed it on my way to the accessories!  It wasn't and still isn't flying off the rack...I stopped by yesterday and checked!  This is a great blouse to take you from day to evening.  The question is...since you can detach the paillette collar...will you?

  2. I love this whole look Bessie, detaching the collar would just depend what sort of mood I was in - bling or non bling!
    Happy Monday Hun xoxo

  7. I love this look and am going to stop by H&M today to see if I can snag that blouse. It is gorgeous and totally my style!

    P.S. I'm not heading to Chicago this week as planned, but if I do, I'd love to meet up with you. Fingers crossed that it pans out in the future - I'm courting a new client and the ball is really in her court as to whether she wants to meet with our firm or not :)

  11. I would use both styles depending on the occasion. What a great idea. I love versatile products - clothes, accessories, furniture...

  12. I like being able to detach it- so that you can make it much more casual too. Great look as always.

    ReplyDelete

  13. I obsessed with sleeveless, collared shirts right now. I think they're sassy & professional, so I think I'd keep the collar on! Looking great! I love the red lips!

  32. I really like the detach collar. It looks great with the collar on but I can picture it without the collar too.

    ReplyDelete

  33. Love that blouse!! H&M huh? I may need to go!

    ReplyDelete

  34. I would probably detach it because I'm too afraid to take risks like that. BUT I LOVE the peplum top! Been looking for one!

  36. Interesting concept of a detachable collar! And a peplum too. I would probably detach during work hours, but re-attach the collar for nighttime fun.

  51. OH MY... Love this look! I'm not sure the H&M around here stocked that, haven't spotted it and been quite frequent. To be honest, would detach the collar and rock both pieces separately, especially the blouse. Love everything - the accessories, sunglasses... everything!

  53. I'm sure that peplum blouse would look really pretty even without the collar but the collar makes it a lot more special and outstanding. actually I love the whole look, from head to toe, it's just perfect in every way!

  56. A monochromatic outfit, so classic and sophisticated. Love it. Adore the blouse, this peplum is perfect it doesn't dominate the whole outfit, it enhances it. The collar is perfect and the shades are amazing. I may have to look into these!

  70. Ok now Im mad that I didn't buy that blouse when I saw it in H&M last week! You look great per usual. Oh did I mention, I finally got my Zara sandals. LOL

    ReplyDelete

  71. You look fantastic in this outfit, I probably would never detach it. Seems like a bit of work? Of course, leave it to me to LOVE the only item you didn't mention in your post: THAT RING!! Where did you find it??

    1. I can't believe I didn't mention it! The ring is from Forever 21 :) I bought it sometime last year and you can remove the paillettes collar easily, it has buttons onto the inside of the neckline.
