If your wardrobe could use a personality injection, this is it. The Top Half by Millar label tells you this was Made in New Zealand, by a brand that understood exactly what a working woman wanted to wear when she meant business and looked wonderful doing it. The blouse is baby blue crepe-de-chine, soft and fluid against the skin, with a ruffled stand collar that frames the face and a cascade of frills running the full length of the centre front placket. Matching ruffle cuffs finish the long sleeves.

Tuck it into tailored trousers and let the ruffle speak for itself. Wear it under a sharply cut blazer with the collar frills spilling over the lapel. Try it with a high-waisted pencil skirt in chocolate brown or camel and low heeled loafers in tan for a working day. For something less structured, pair it with wide-leg jeans and your favourite white sneakers and wear it untucked. This blouse suits someone who knows that a well-chosen top changes the whole conversation.
