Sweet and Sassy Top

I bought this top last fall and reallllly regretted not sharing it with you all because it is so fabulous. When I finally went to wear it, this top was no longer available and no post could be created. Sads.


I thought the ship had sailed for this gem, but I thought wrong.

After not having set foot into a store in over 25 days, I was elated to notice this little beauty hanging on the rack ready to rock for spring.

This top is super figure-flattering and super versatile.



It doesn’t wrinkle and is perfect for hiding any trace of what could be perceived as a muffin top. No clinging either! The pleating under the embellished detail creates a silhouette that lies flat to the body so to avoid any visits to the ever-dreaded Maternity Land.


The top works well on its own with a pair of slim jeans or under a blazer for a more work-appropriate look. Really you could just about pair it back to anything in your closet and probably be okay. Tuck it into a skirt a la the model below for a more blousy effect.


With all that being said, what I love the most is the sheer chiffon sleeves. The sheerness gives the slight impression of sexy without being too overt; perfect for date night or dinner at a hot spot.


The rhinestone and stud combo keeps the top from going too precious.

So if you are like me and like things that are both sassy and sweet, don't miss adding this top to your collection for spring.
