Outfit Formula: Peasant Blouse + Jeans

If you haven’t hopped on board the 70’s train this season, it’s time to be picked up!  The 1970’s has been a big influence in fashion this season ranging from romantic bohemian to suede to flare jeans.  One easy way to sport the 1970’s is to wear a peasant blouse with jeans for a relaxed carefree look.  Peasant blouses today are available practically everywhere and can be comprised of subtle or vibrant prints, embroidery, or made out of gauze or sheer fabrics.  Below are three simple outfits containing the easy outfit formula of peasant blouse + jeans.

Outfit #1 – White & Blue Peasant Blouse + Flare Jeans

This first outfit embodies a relaxed 70’s silhouette – billowy top and light washed flare jeans. For this outfit, the blouse needs to be tucked in the jeans to define a waist line and to balance out the width of the flare jeans.  I layered on a cognac faux leather jacket for a structured piece and cognac wedges to carry on the 70’s look.  I finished with a turquoise jewelry.  This outfit would be great for the weekend or strolling at a farmers market.

Outfit #2 – Dusty Pink & Navy Print Peasant Blouse + Dark Skinny Jeans

This next outfit has a more rustic feel with this printed peasant blouse and dark skinny jeans. For this look, I replaced flare jeans with modern dark washed skinny jeans.  Since I’m wearing skinny jeans, I decided to not tuck in the blouse.  When paired with skinny jeans, this blouse can be worn tucked in or pulled out depending on your personal preference and/or body type.   I added a taupe crochet and fringe vest for another 70’s element and taupe ankle boots for a rustic touch.  During the warmer months, you can substitute the ankle boots for gladiator or dressy sandals.

Outfit #3 – Black Peasant Blouse + White Denim

For this last outfit, I wanted to create a look that could be worn at night.  If you are unsure about what color(s) to wear at night, you can never go wrong with black and white.  For this look, I decided to pair a black peasant blouse with skinny white cropped jeans.  A pair of white jeans is a must-have during the summer because they are a great option to wear instead of your typical blue denim.  I decided to tuck in the blouse this time for a lean silhouette and I added black caged heels to enhance the night-out ensemble.  I topped off the outfit with silver earrings and cocktail ring along with a neon colored clutch for a pop of color.
