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.
The Purple Poopy has beautiful things. I love the Whimsy Rose Watercolor top. That belt looks interesting. Is it hot to wear ?
Love the Sail To Sable Embroidered Top….and of course the top you are wearing!!
I love the Lisette Pearl jeans! I think you have them!
Oh I love the Caroline Grace Tasseled Poncho in the fuschia color! But I agree that zoftnesz iz a key ingredient in clothing. I hate s rstchy, stiff t- shirts. ( Do you have a fav brand for soft t-shirts?) Its raining, thundering, lightening and hail here too.
The LaRoque linen top was my favorite. It would look great with white crop pants!
Love the tops! I noticed your espadrilles. Do you know some great places I can find AA widths fior shoes and sandals?
Thanks in advance!

My favorite s are the vintage tops – especially the one that is gray on top, white in middle, and blue on bottom for $74. Love it!
I loved most of the clothing I saw on their website. So much so, I signed up to receive their emails; however, if I had to narrow it down to a couple of things, it would be the white pants you are wearing and the skinny belt!!! You look fresh, crisp – very summery in that outfit. Have a fantastic day!!! 🙂
Isn’t the belt supposed to be worn as an actual belt in beltloops of pants? I don’t understand? Thanks!
The Crosby Susie Tunic is my favorite. It’s so colorful and would flatter any body type. Great website. Thanks for the heads up.
