WHAT I LOOK FOR IN A TOP
If you have been reading my blog for very long, then you know that I have a few things that I look for when I am shopping. I love softness when it comes to my clothing. I will stroll through the aisles, and let my hand skim the tops as I walk along. Once I find something that passes the “feel” test, then I go on to my next criteria…color, style, and print.
It has been a while since I collaborated with Purple Poppy. Purple Poppy is one of my favorite online stores, and I hope to be able to visit her two locations. They have a store in Cape Cod Massachusettes and a newly opened store in Naples Florida. I am sure that they have more clothing in the stores than they have available online, so if you live close to either of those locations, be sure to run by and tell them that I said hello.
This top caught my eye right off the bat. I loved the v-neck tunic style of this top and the fact that it has 3/4 sleeves — translation: flattering and comfortable to wear with most pants. The print was also something that I was drawn too because of the floral watercolor style. Next, it came to coloration, and the pastel blue, purples, and greens all look beautiful together, especially for summer. The top is a premium blend of polyester and rayon, so it should be easy to launder. I am wearing a large, but the sizes run from small through extra-large.
You are going to love me (even more) for this tip. Got a muffin top? I would wager that almost every one of you reading this post raised your hand. Let me introduce you to your new best friend, the SkinniBelt. This is an adjustable hidden belt that is made with polyester woven elastic webbing. You wear this belt under your top and place it on the bump or bulge that you are trying to hide. It stays in place nicely, and you will be shocked at how well this thing works. It comes in small, medium, and large, and in six different color choices.
Finally, I am wearing my favorite white pants that I received from Purple Poppy over a year ago. These have an excellent front panel section that helps to hold the tummy area firmly in place. These pants are my go-to summer pants, and you will understand why if you buy them.
The Purple Poppy always features FREE shipping on orders over $100.00.
This is a sponsored post, but the wording and opinions are all my own.
I’m loving the Caroline Grace Festive Tassel Trim Poncho. This would be great for a date night or on vacation to the beach!
I love the Sail to Sable Pom Pom Tunic.
The “Sail to Sable embroidered top” caught my eyes. It looks like the perfect top for summer wear and could be worn over white jeans or dark slacks as well as for the office over a dark skirt and with a matching blazer. I’m all of 5’2″ so need tops that don’t overwhelm my frame and this one looks like it would work.
Thank for your generosity and consideration. If I receive a Skinni Belt I might just end up wearing g it all the time!
Hard to pick just one but I would pick the Sail To Sable Embroidered Top. I hadn’t heard of this store and will definitely check out the Cape location this summer.
Whimsy Rose High-Low Tunic Baltic Watercolors. Love the colors and the line of the high-low bottom.
I love the Miss June dress.And your top is beautiful today.
I know this is really boring but I liked the white denim jacket. A nice classic style is hard to find!
I love the Sail to Sable Poly Crepe tank top. I also do love the top you are wearing. I really want to order that skinny belt and try it out.
I love those pants on you. Checked their website and they do not really describe them. Do they come in petite sizes. You won’t know there was a tummy panel if you hadn’t mentioned it.
I really liked the top you have on. Many to choose from too.
