tie neck blouse

Look at ur_momm's pretty presents she got for Christmas. Her boyfriend's mom gifted her this lovely tie-neck blouse and black pencil skirt. The result is a smart, sophisticated gal with no sign of stuffiness. I like it.

Here's what she has on:

• Top: TeenFlo
• Skirt: TeenFlo
• Shoes: Essentials

Congrats to ur_momm!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Thanks to many of the Fall collections, what was once the symbol for grunge is now the sign of aristocracy. That doesn't mean you have to throw out your flannel shirt, but for Fall, invest in some prim and proper plaid. This Banana Republic Silk Tie-Neck Plaid Blouse ($79) is the perfect place to start.

Of course, I wouldn't want you to look too prissy; I recommend pairing your pretty plaid with black stovepipe jeans and funky booties. If you don't want to buy a new piece, try tucking your grungy plaid shirt into a high-waisted pencil skirt. How does that sound?

Who is this matron and what has she done with the sassy Mischa Barton? I've always known that Mischa is capable of making fashion faux pas, but this is pure insanity! At the Closing the Ring UK premiere, it appears the actress is having an identity crisis.

The only thing I applaud Mischa for are her studded, Louboutin Mary Janes. Other than that, I'd save the bow-tie blouse for a luncheon and the poofy black-taffeta skirt for a Halloween costume. She should have simply chosen a more age-appropriate dress. Perhaps she can take some pointers from her former O.C. co-star Rachel Bilson.

How would you wear it?
