Do you ever get something in the mail or from the mall and want to wear it that very day? I did that very thing with this top from ASOS; I got home too late to open the order that arrived, but the next morning I pulled this top out and wore it to brunch with friends. I really like the look of breezy cotton off the shoulder tops like this but don't want to pay a ton for this trend. ASOS to the rescue, this top was under $50 and a more flattering shape than others I've tried that are too full in the sleeves, too long or cropped in the body. The elastic is mostly for show; the top is designed where it will stay off the shoulder (and not slip down). This will be great in the DC humidity with a pair of cut-off shorts or linen pants.
I got this Rebecca Minkoff moto bag on Poshmark (use code PMZYS for $5 off) a few months ago; the price was insanely low and though it's not a current style the bag came in pristine condition with dust bag and tags inside. It had a slim crossbody strap that was fine, but looked a bit wimpy and dug into my shoulders when the bag was full. I saw Rebecca Minkoff was carrying guitar straps and got one to update the bag, but it also looks great with a few other bags in my closet that have removable straps. What a brilliant way to give new life to old bags!

Very nice. What wonderful shoulders you have. I’m glad it’s warm enough now to show them off.

So cute! I think that the top would work well with the bright colored African wax print skirt that you have posted.
Great idea, thanks Christine!
You look so great! I love this outfit (and it’s something I would wear!) I can only buy white things that are inexpensive because they don’t stay white very long. 🙂
I love that this cotton so it’s easy to wash and easy to bleach. Yesterday I wore this and spilled iced tea all down my front… and was excited to see most of it bead and roll off and that which penetrated I could wash out with a bit of Dr. Bronner’s and water on a cloth!
Can this very cute top be worn on the shoulders also? You look great! Thank you
No, it’s cut straight across the top and forces itself to be off the shoulder. Thank you!
