Hello friends! I hope you had a good weekend. Apparently I did because I was up before 7 today and I’m using exclamation points within the first paragraph. Mind you, it’s Monday so this is incredible. I truly believe there is nothing a little weekend and a lot of coffee can’t fix.
I’ve been seeing off the shoulder everywhere and wanted to try the style out. I decided to go with two options for summer: a white crisp silhouette and this simple black version, which actually feels / fits like a tee. This trend caught me by surprise this season but now I’m such a fan of this look. Perhaps it’s because I am a child of the 80s / 90s and I had a few Barbies with similar tops and dresses. No, not perhaps — that’s actually 100% why. I’m also waiting for the color peach to come back in a big way, too. Fingers crossed for next spring.

That top is great!! Absolutely love how you styled it here, and can’t wait to see the white version. They remind me of my Barbies too! Crossing fingers for peach 🙂

Love the off-shoulder top, you look lovely!!

SO PRETTY! I love this on you. And I like that this top doesn’t have the weird spaghetti straps on the shoulders. I like the off the shoulder tops better without.
What size are you wearing in the top? Thanks!
Love the off the shoulder detail.

I love this outfit! Pairing the off the shoulder shirt with a bit of a longer skirt is a great idea too because then they balance each other!

Last time I wore something off the shoulder (a red sweater, to be exact), I caught the eye of my now-husband, so I know this look has some serious power to it. 🙂 You look gorgeous!

Tough love: The second to last picture is stunning. You are SOOOO truly beautiful when you aren’t making prune face and your clothes fit.

I love the off the shoulder top! I’ve been on the hunt for one but I can’t wait to add it to my closet.
Also, totally agree with you on the color peach. It needs to happen.

Agreed! Been seeing off the shoulder everywhere! I just wrote about it today, haha. Def a summer trend, so many of which have a 70’s-ish kind of vibe. So fun!

I want this look for me. It’s so elegant, so feminine. This is going to be my look for this summer. Thanks for the idea. By the way this look has a very ” Italian holiday ” feel to it.
This outfit is smashing!! I love this pairing so much.

Do you do anything to keep the top in place on your arms? I’m debating about keeping this because whenever I raise my arms even a little, it slips up onto my shoulders!
well this one has pretty tight elastic, but yes it does come up a little if I move my arms above my shoulders (like if I was putting a bun up or something). I don’t know if any solution to this, but if I think of something clever, I’ll let you know 😉
Nice and perfect looking outfit..
