When I started this blog 11 years ago, I was a junior Capitol Hill staffer. Most of my readers were also staffers. We we're women who needed to dress professionally on limited budgets, so featuring affordable and mid-price fashions was imperative.

Recently, however, several of you have written in asking for suggestions for "investment" pieces. Over the years, these readers have changed fields, been promoted, or just decided that they would rather own fewer, better pieces. So from now on, the Tuesday Find will feature an item under-$100, and the Thursday post will feature a more expensive item.

This moody floral wrap blouse from Ted Baker is a stunner. I love the femininity of the print. The bishop sleeve is also a nice touch.

For a simple outfit, I would pair this with a slightly-snug midi pencil skirt and a pointed-toe heel. For something a little different, I would pair it with a light blue flare leg pant instead. The blue hue pulls from the flowers in the blouse.

Looking for a less-expensive version of this top? Try this Mango blouse or this Gibson blouse (also in petite and plus size).
