Cheap & Chic: Romantic Blouses

Amidst all the drama, Sienna Miller is still one fashionable babe. If you're going to get your photo taken by the paparazzi, you might as well look cute, right?

I'm loving the semisheer romantic blouse she's jetsetting in. It's a great alternative to wearing a basic tee with your jeans and doesn't appear stuffy. When choosing a romantic blouse, look for one with a casual fit and fun detailing such as stripes, ruffles, or frills. Kudos to Sienna for accessorizing her feminine look with a funky Gucci belt.

Trend Alert: Frilly Spring Blouses

The romantics have arrived. However, one must be aware of the abundant femme flavor of these frilly Spring blouses. Clearly a trickle down from the Romanza trend, the way to wear these for today is sans skirt and with a leaner silhouette. So a sleek pair of skinnies will suffice or a cool pair of high waisted trousers. As for a jacket, you don't want to crush these precious frills so something light and airy - a blazer would look too suit-ish.
