WHEN we think of office-appropriate blouses, all that springs to mind are boring shades of cream and beige.
But there's no rule stating that smart blouses have to be drab... and we're currently swooning over gorgeous shades of emerald green for our summer wardrobes.
Italian designer Gucci first caught our eye with their beautiful silk blouse.
With its slightly oversized fit and gorgeous shade of green, this button-down shirt can be tucked into pencil skirts for a smarter look.
Alternatively, pair with a leather skirt or jeans for a casual weekend style.
But before we start imagining ourselves wearing the shirt here, there, and everywhere, there's just one small detail to consider first... it costs a hefty £790.

But fear not fashion fans because Monki has come to the rescue of our bank balances with their must-have designer dupe.
Drawing inspiration from the Gucci design, this high street blouse is in an equally bright shade of green.
Not to mention the similar cuff sleeve detail and chunky pussy bow flourish.

But instead of buttons running down the back, the high street offering has switched them round to the front. A look we prefer anyway.
What's more, the Monki style is a total steal for just £30.
Talk about making us green with style envy...
