Miranda Kerr's Floral Blouse Is Perfect For Work and Play

Miranda Kerr took a daytime stroll with Orlando Bloom in Sydney wearing dark-blue skinny jeans with this floral Equipment blouse ($248), an orange bag, Miu Miu tortoise sunglasses ($367), and black suede flats.

Miranda Kerr took a daytime stroll with Orlando Bloom in Sydney wearing dark-blue skinny jeans with this floral Equipment blouse ($248), an orange bag, Miu Miu tortoise sunglasses ($367), and black suede flats. Floral blouses are all over these days, but what we love about this one in particular are its mocked collar and moody color palette. The black background is serious, while the blue and white flowers add just the right dash of color. Wear it with jeans like Miranda did, pair it with a black pencil skirt for work, or work it with a black leather skirt for a night out.

Up first, iconic contemporary American designer (and Project Runway host, well, judge with the most), Michael Kors.

Before we fell in love with him (again) for his honest critiques on Project Runway, we already knew Michael Kors as the quintessential all-American designer, with an affinity for the classics and collections inspired by his travels. For consistent sophistication and undeniably chic outerwear, women look to him for cozy cashmere turtlenecks, glam evening gowns, and ladylike trousers — all of which are impeccably tailored. Over the past 30 years, he has built one of the most famous lifestyle brands in fashion, and after looking through his memorable collections, it's no wonder Mr. Kors has garnered quite a following.
