I’ve always loved pattern blouses with basic, single color skirts. When I saw this cream and black satin grid-patterned blouse from The Limited on Poshmark, I knew I had to have it. (I find so many gems on the app.)

Sadly, The Limited closed its doors earlier this year. I’m a huge fan of the brand, so I was sad to see it go. (Although a message on their website hints they may be coming back!) Lucky for us plus sized fashionistas, their plus size brand, Eloquii, is still alive and well.

I paired the top with a basic black pencil skirt from H&M, bow detail heels from Jeffrey Campbell, and a shoulder bag from Forever 21 for a crisp and clean workwear look, but it could easily look amazing with a bright colored skirt.

How would you style a grid-patterned blouse?
