The Basics store has really improved the quality of its pieces over the years, and some of my favourites come from the recent collections — especially this style of blouse. The biggest advantage is the quality and variety of designs, though one downside is the limited colour range… and unfortunately, black isn’t one of them.
This striking pink blouse, featuring a side knot detail, can be styled in many different ways. Its bold shade may seem easy to wear at first, but pairing it with black or grey actually makes styling more challenging. For this comparison post, I created two similar outfits — one using more affordable pieces and another with random items that achieve a similar look.
For the first outfit, I styled grey pants from the same brand (though from a different collection). Their structured design gives the outfit a more formal feel, making it perfect for a corporate setting. I completed the look with bold pink shoes and silver hoop earrings.
For the second outfit, I chose a dark grey long skirt with a silhouette similar to the pants. I paired it again with pink shoes and silver accessories. Honestly, I love this version even more — it feels like a more refined evolution of the first outfit.
