This blouse is my new favorite top. I scored it at Saks 5th Avenue (outlet) for only $40. It's 100% silk and fits really nicely. The detailing on the sleeves is all time favorite! I love ruched sleeves and will pretty much buy anything with cute sleeves:) The top along with a Theory skirt in 00 wasn't even on the floor, the SA asked if she could help and usually I just say no thanks but for some reason, I decided to ask if she had any Theory stuff. And to my surprise she said she was just about to put a bunch on the floor but will go check for any tiny sizes. She came back with a few items which I quickly grabbed before anyone else saw me.

This skirt was only $17.95 and the XS fits perfectly. The length is longer than usual but I think it works with the pleated detail. The waist is expandable which makes it fit small waists. The bright and bold color is definitely different for me but I love toning it down with my gray blouse. I am totally eyeing this white one and waiting for it to go down in price.
The only complaint and warning I should tell you about is that it's a bit see through because there is no lining. The skirt is very thin and probably will pill after several wears. You can't tell in these pics but you will have to wear a slip underneath if you wear it to work. You can find cheapie ones like this with a bit of lace.
