CRINKLED AND SHIRRED
Who has plans for Memorial Day to go to the pool, lake, or beach? Maybe you are one of those lucky souls who is going to Hawaii or the Bahamas. Or maybe you are one of the really, really lucky souls who get to live in a climate that is warm all the time. I can dream but until then, I can at least have the perfect outfit for any of those places.
I love this casual and comfortable outfit from The Purple Poppy which is located in Cape Cod, Massachuttes. When I selected the top I knew I wanted to take it with me on my trip to Florida. I love the crinkle material (remember I don’t like to iron) and the color is so vibrant and summery. The design at the shoulders was unique and not at all like other shirts I had seen. I call this a “cool” shoulder top. Lol! The openings are not large for those who are uncomfortable wearing a “cold” shoulder top. I thought this was a perfect choice because you can be comfortable and also stylish. The crinkle top also comes in white and black, just in case you don’t like to wear bright colors as much as I do.
Here is a closer look at the material and the shoulder openings. I took the shirt with me to Florida but I never got to wear it. It pretty much stayed wadded up in my suitcase. If you remember the weather turned cold and I didn’t even bother to get it out of the suitcase. This is perfect for those of you who travel because you can see how nice it looks and it stayed in my suitcase the entire time. When I pulled it out it still looked perfect, no ironing or smoothing required. My kind of top!!!Because Erin knows I am a jewelry nut she also sent me this long silver necklace. The little silver disks are lightweight and the necklace did not hurt my neck at all. If you are like me and you have to be careful of the “heavier” jewelry With this one you won’t have to worry about your neck hurting.
When Erin first approached me about picking out an outfit she asked me about this skirt. I told her no that I didn’t think I would like it. She didn’t press the issue, she just said for me to pick out something that was more my style. I told her that I loved the crinkle shirt and she said that she would ship it right out. I was surprised when I opened the box to find the skirt in there also. I tried the skirt on and had to email her and tell her that I was wrong and she was right. I absolutely love the skirt!!! The skirt was also crammed into my suitcase but it still looked perfect when I took it out. I really like the shirred panel details and it has a drawstring waist. On the website, it says that the skirt runs big and that you should size down. She sent me a medium and it fits but it wouldn’t have been too big if she had sent my normal size which is large. The skirt comes in several colors such as alabaster, black, blue, coral, navy, and white. There is also a shorter version of the skirt which I might have to order because I think it would be perfect for playing golf in this summer.
Erin has offered my readers a discount. When you check out, type in Poppy to receive 10% off. PLUS, if you spend a $100.00 you will receive free shipping. That is a pretty sweet deal.
So, if you will be doing any traveling this year or if you just hate to iron as much as I do, be sure to check out this adorable outfit. You won’t be sorry!
Here is the YouTube video showing the entire outfit.

“DISCLOSURE: I AM PARTICIPATING IN A COMPENSATED CAMPAIGN WITH THIS BRAND. THE STYLING AND THE WRITTEN WORDS ARE MY OWN.”
I really like the crinkled pink top, the skirt not so much. Maybe if they were paired with something else it would be better.
Love the skirt in this post. Loved it so much I ordered one in black. I am travelling to Europe this summer to see my son and when I read that it doesn’t wrinkle, well, need I say more.
My favorite is the dress. There is nothing I like more on a hot summer day, than to have on something light, colorful and cool to wear.?
Tania, the colour of this top is nice and bright and just makes you want to smile and be happy! Love it. The pink/gray tee from Purple Poppy, I like the best the way you styled it.
I love the long sleeved Tee so much! I could wear that anywhere!!!! I am new to your blog and I enjoy it greatly!!! Thanks for what you do!
You do an awesome job putting things together!! I love your blog! I check it each day to decide what to wear!
My favorite is the Dress! I LOVE the colors! It screams Spring and Summer fun!
Oh, I have the same navy and striped Old Navy tunic and love it! I just love your jewelry too! ?

I love the checked outfit. It would be perfect for a cooler day. We don’t get many of those in Louisiana with the humidity. I’d probably have to say the dress because I could dress it up with a cute sweater or be more casual with a denim jacket. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.
I like the checked top best. You have the ability to wear so many styles & colors. This is my first time to comment. I have been following you for about 6 months. I feel your style is eclectic & fun. I was also amazed when I found out you were from Grundy. I grew up in Floyd county in eastern KY. It’s always good to see someone from the area do great things. Keep up the good fashion? Jennifer
I like the dress the best on you. BUT, I am so glad you showed the skirt and steered me to the Purple Poppy. I love to wear longer skirts and there don’t seem to be many out there this year. I’ve been looking at their website and thinking I may order one! They have several skirts on their site.
I love the checked top best! I like most all your outfits?
I am loving the navy and white checked blouse. I think I would tie it in the front. So pretty.
My favorite of the outfits from Purple Poppy is the dress. It is just so cute. I love this pink top too! The skirt looks cute on you, but it’s not something I’d wear (just as you said before you tried it on!).
The cashmere wrap is elegant and such a lovely soft color. I pick that as my favorite!
Really close between the dress and the checked top… but, if I must pick only one, checked top outfit!
What size shirt are you wearing, please?
Love the checked top!
Checkered top… love the hi/low
Love this outfit on you! The skirt is very slenderizing.
The cashmere wrap was the big winner- I sure enjoyed looking at all the outfits!
HI Tania…I have never commented on your blog, but I read it every day! It is the first thing I do each morning when I wake up! I really like the blue gingham. It was adorable.
I love the pink poppy top. It is something that could see myself wearing!!
I really, really like the cocked top!
I LOVE the colorful dress on you, but you’ve got cute little legs! Since I wouldn’t subject the public to seeing my knees, I’d most likely order that cute pink and gray long-sleeved t-shirt for my self! 😀
My favorite outfit Tania is the pink and grey long sleeved tee shirt. It looks so comfortable but yet classy.
A tough choice, all were great. My fav would be the checkered blouse. Loved the length and detail at bottom.
I love, love the plaid shirt by Comfy! You looked amazing in it!
I love all of the Purple Poppy outfits but the checkered top is my favorite on you! The cashmere wrap is also awesome! You would look good in a proper bag! You make my day and are so funny!
I adore the checkered top! It’s one of my favorites that you’ve worn!
Love love the bright pink top !!!!!
This is such a cute outfit, I am a big fan of the pink shirt! I am not sure about the skirt, but you are an inspiration and I look forward to your fashion picks!
My favorite is the checked top. I also love the cashmere wrap and don’t remember see that post before. Happy Birthday!
I really like the colors in the dress…such a cute, simple summer dress! Happy happy birthday Tania!!
All the outfits are great but the dress is really more my style!! I love wearing dresses in spring and summer!☀️??☀️
I look forward to seeing your outfits every morning and can’t believe how much alike our taste in clothes is. I love the bright pink top, but I wouldn’t wear that skirt with it. Thanks for all of the fashion ideas I’ve received in the short time I’ve subscribed to your blog. Blessings to you!!!
Love them all ! I think my favorite is the little dress . It would be so cute for the summer with little sandals and love the colors ?
The dress is cute. You always give great suggestions!
I really do love this outfit! I am concerned about bra straps showing with the way this top is made, but it sure is cute. Great casual & comfy clothes!
I love the Purple Poppy pink too. I love the neckline and the length and the way the sides are longer! You’re beautiful and you look so pretty in bright colors! But I love the stripes too!!! Love your blog!
Long-sleeved tee!
Checked top
I really love the dress.It is so cheery !
I love love love the colorful dress??
Love the top especially with the white pants
There is just something about the checked top that is amaaaazzzing! Love it!
I love them all, but my absolute favorite is the checked top. The cut and detailing is unique and it looks so, so soft!
I love this on you!! Such a bright and fresh style! The necklace is beautiful!! I thought it looked like white disks at first but noticed it’s silver!! It really gives the outfit a great touch! This is my favorite of the 2!! God bless!
The dress!!!!
All of the outfits were styled very nice. The dress stands out because of the bright colors and that it finally feels like Spring.
I really like the Desert Bloom Blush long-sleeved tee. It looks great with the grey slacks, but I can also envision it with white jeans or leggings and with maybe pink or metallic sandals or wedges.
I love this particular top…the color…everything about it but not a big fan of the skirt. The reason being…I am only 5’3″ tall and could almost wear most of the tunic’s you wear as a stand alone dress! Haha But the whole outfit looks great on you!
They are all great. But if I have to choose it would be the dress then the gray top. They are beautiful!!
I am in love with this bright pink top from Purple Poppy!!!!
I am in Love with all of the outfits. I think my favorite two are the checkered top and the long sleeve tee. My favorite color is pink and love pairing it with gray so I thought I would say this one is my favorite pick. Surprisingly I am going to say the checkered top is my #1 choice and favorite. I think it’s the way the color compliments you and the pairing with the white capris is on point. I Love all your outfits and look forward to your posts. Have a blessed day!
I luv all four items from Poppy. The colors are so vivid. I would say my favorite is the plaid shirt. I am a sucker for anything plaid. Then the dress is my second choice. What fun clothes!!!!
You made the choice difficult! I love the dress but I will have to go with the checkered top! It is different from other checkered top I have seen, and that color on you! Even though it is not cobalt blue but a more subdued blue with gray, it looks great on you and I love the shape of the shirt! And the way you styled it with the white necklace…
Loved the dress the best! But they were all home runs!
No doubt about it – the dress! The colors are so vibrant and screams spring/summer, here I come.
I really like the pink top. It looks so bright and cheery, my favorite of the others is the long sleeve top. Just love your website. I look forward to it everyday. And I have gotten some great ideas.
Love the long sleeve tee! Pretty colors and very summery!
Love the pink!
It’s my birthday mth too! I love the hot pink & white outfit– such a great summer look which I am so ready for being from MI!
I love to wear dresses! The dress is my favorite.
Looking for comfortable and stylish outfits to wear when we travel to see our youngest play in Texas collegiate league. This one is perfect since there is no ironing. Happy Birthday and thanks for continuing to inspire!
I loved the checked top, you look very chic!
Checked shirt——it’s a show stopper. Dress in 2nd. I love your jewelry. I do like shorter skirts on you. I will be 57 on the 13th. Wish I had your legs.
I love the checked shirt and the bright top from today. Happy Friday.
Love the cashmere wrap!
The palm dress is my favorite. But you look so cute in everything you wear! Love your blog!
My favorite was the checked top.
You look really pretty in that bright pink. I love that top and I liked the print dress a lot. Love spring and summer clothes!
I love the checked toop the best, I think. That dress and wrap are beautiful on you too.
Hi Tania!
Because I live in Lower Alabama (LA), my favorite is the dress! I do love today’s top and would also order the skirt in the shorter length…like you I am a golfer too! All their clothes look amazing, fun and unique!
Happy Friday!
Happy Birthday, Tania!
I happened upon your blog on Pinterest one day while bemoaning the fact that I was about to turn 51. I know it’s just a number, and I still feel young, but I wanted to see what other women thought was “age appropriate”. Let’s just say I’m hooked. I love your Sunday messages…sweet and uplifting!
Favorite Purple Poppy outfit: checked top…so cute.
I love the long sleeve pink and gray top from Purple Poppy so much I ordered one!
Love this pink top to! Love color in my wardrobe to!
I love the skirt and the pink top! So summery!

Hi Tania, I like your pink top! Would love to see that with a more fitted jean skirt though. And regarding the Poppy pix, I have to say the dress with the blue cashmere topper is my fave! I, too, always try to carry a wrap for restaurants, and I Love your cashmere wrap.
I really like the cashmere wrap!
The pink crinkle top is my favorite. Love the color! I have a sleeveless top in crinkle fabric, and it is easy care and a very flattering fit.
I have to go with the dress! Love the colors, the simple lines- everything about it and very complementary with your coloring, which is similar to mine
I love the Pink Crinkle Top! This fushia pink is my all time favorite color.
I would have to pick the Checkered Top as my favorite of your oldies from Purple Poppy! I have already logged on to their website to check it out!
Thanks for your blog!
I must say for traveling I really like the pink shirt, love the pink and the material, I am not real sure about the skirt.
I like all the “Poppy” outfits, but my favorite is the dress and definitely the cashmere wrap, that beautiful blue, definitely an “elegant” look… 😉
Have a great weekend.
I love the colors in all of the items you chose, but my favourite is the dress. just screams “summer” and “fun” and “sun” to me. LOVELY!!!
the pink and gray long sleeve top, one of my favorite color combos!
Just loved the dress and both of the tops.
I love this pink top the best of the ones this week. Cute outfit on you! The others were so nice also. I like their styles a lot!
I love the dress, it’s so bright and springy!
Love you in the fuschia! My favorites are today’s crinkle top and the blue checked top!
This pink top is awesome, and the buffalo-style check is my jo-jo, but I think the dress wins for me. It’s got that Lily Pulitzer style that steals this preppy (and country) girl’s heart. (The cashmere is beautiful too, but I have most definitely moved on to summer. LOL)
Dress
I like them all, especially the “cool” shoulder top. But I will go with the long sleeve tee; its so unique.
I love the dress. It is just my style.
I love all of them. However, I believe the dress is my favorite. The colors make me want to go to some place warm!
Love the top…on the fence about the skirt however. BUT, I really LOVE those sandals!! What are the details on those?? Super cute! I’m also a sucker for the long necklaces like that one. Cute, cool outfit!
opps…I forgot about my favorite – the checked top!! lol love that color combo 🙂
Happy Birthday from one May girl to another!!! I love the pink crinkled top you have on today!!! Not sure if that is one that is available to win but that is the one I love. I have the cashmere wrap in black and love it all year long!!!
Omg, I like them all, but I must confess I’m a sucker for checks and gingham! So my vote has to be the checked shirt! I love it! Happy Birthday to you, Tania. My birthday is also at the end of the month. Thanks again for all you do!
Wow, I love the crinkle outfit in this post! I also love the checked top and the long-sleeved tee. If I have to pick one, I would choose the checked top!
They all look great on you, but I think the checkered top is my favorite.
Send that skirt back to her ASAP
Today’s outfit looks off balance… I think it’s the skirt. I love the dress!
I love the long sleeve t-shirt! Very cute and fun! BTW…after reading your posts, we have the same birthday! 🙂
I really loved the checkered top but that cashmere wrap was gorgeous!
I think of the ones you listed I like the long sleeve Poppy Shirt the best. They’re all cute though. I really like the pink top you have on in today’s post too!
You share a birthday with two of my favorite people, my hubby and my grand daughter! You must be a very special person!!! Happy Birthday. I love the dress, checked top and todays pink top! I look forward to your blog everyday, thanks for the inspiration.
The long sleeved tee is my favorite of the choices.
Like the top, but the skirt looks like an uncomfortable victorian lampshade.
Poppy top was my favorite. The dress was beautiful too, but the long sleeve poppy shirt is more my style.
Love the dress! You look beautiful in that shade of pink!
The long sleeve t-shirt is my favorite, but the dress comes in a close second.
Love them all but I would go with the dress
Love the checked top best. But you look great in all of them! Have a great weekend.
Love the cashmere wrap!
Hi Tania, first time commenting. I love the colors in the long sleeve tee, such beautiful colors!
I don’t have to win a giveaway as I win everytime I read your posts. I’m a 65 year old grandma but I don’t feel like it. What’s better than fashion with a side of humor?
Long sleeve tee, but I do like them all!
I love the checked top. The asymmetrical lines are really fun with the symmetrical pattern. Plus the jewelry you paired it with is super cute! I love that necklace and was thrilled it is in the new catalog. So you can stop teasing us with it! Lol. I got it as soon as I heard it was available. My second favorite would be the cashmere wrap. I have seen it paired with jeans as well and it is just as lovely. Plus anything that feel like pajamas and looks classy is a winner in my book.
Love them all but the last top is my fav. It is nice and warm here in South Texas and with travel it would be perfect! Have a nice relaxing weekend!!!
Paula from Texas
Love this outfit! Great for a spring/summer lunch. For the contest…omg it’s a toss up! I love the long sleeved T because it’s totally my style, but the dress is just so cute for spring! OK…..the dress wins! 🙂
Long sleeved tee for me!!!!
They are all wonderful, of course! But I have to say my favorite is the checked top. The color is so striking and it pairs perfectly with your white jeans. You look stunning!
The dress is my favorite. It screams spring and fun! Fun is what I hope you have all month Birthday Girl! May 15th is a special day for my family, my granddaughter will be 3!!
I love the long sleeve tee!!
The dress is my very favorite???. Happy Birthday
Love the dress and the cashmere wrap!
The long sleeve T looks comfy and is cute – my fave.
This hot pink top is gorgeous on you!!! I love, love, love the dress. It’s perfect for anything that might come up this summer.
I’m a sucker for the checkered top! Love it with the white jeans!
The checked top, hands down! I have a slight obsession with check and gingham. Happy Birthday!!
Checked top! I would order but the purple was gone. 🙁
Love the cashmere wrap! So elegant. My summers are spent By the beach, my favorite place on earth?
I like them all, but if I have to pick a favorite, I would go with the dress. I love the style and the bright cheerful colors!
I love the dress and two tops. I don’t know that I could pull off the prints as well as you. I like the pink top but would love to see it with skinny jeans.
The dress!
Love the tee; jury still out on the skirt. I like the long-sleeved tee the best.
Happy Birthday month!
I love the dress. I love today’s top also!
My personal favorite is the checked top. I love those types of tops!
My favorite item is the cashmere wrap but my favorite look on you was the dress. If Purple Poppy is reading your comments, I would suggest they provide more details on their fashions (ex: length); their dimensions all read 2 x 2 x 2 inches – what does this mean to an online shopper?
Love the dress! It is the perfect summer party or vacation dress. It looks great on you!
I love the dress … and the checked top …. and the long sleeved tee top … and today’s top.
My favorite is the long sleeve purple and grey tee. As for today, love the top, sorry but not liking the skirt at all.
The checked top is my favorite!
I love the long sleeve tee! Thanks
I love the checked top. The plaid/checks just make me happy. This looks like an interesting brand.
Not sure about this outfit, maybe a shorter skirt? I do love the checked shirt outfit.
I love the colorful dress for summer! Thanks for all the great ideas.
Tania….Happy Friday!! Love the top…not so much the skirt…maybe it would look better short. As for my pick…the long sleeve tee in pink and grey!!
My favorite is the long sleeved top. Love the colors and the way the top is made. Happy Birthday month !!!
My favorite is definitely the checked top. I love than top! Comfy and stylish. Which is my favorite way to dress
Love the dress – I’m a dress lover and this one is so Palm Beach.
I loved the cashmere wrap !
The cashmere wrap is beautiful!
Love the dress and pink top on you. The skirt not so much. I think the shorter one might work better for balance. I am sure it might look better in person than in pictures. Brights in colors just light up your face. Celebrate big. Birthdays are special! Have a great weekend.
Fabulous Hot Pink color on you Tania!!!!
I really like the top but not sure about the skirt styled with it. My favorite outfit is the dress with all the spring and summer colors. My daughter turns “16” on Memorial Day so a “Sweet 16” pool party are our plans. Enjoy your weekend. ~Lisa~
They are all cute, but the dress wins hands down! It is a simple style, a fresh print, and perfect for nearly any summer occasion.
I would definitely vote for the long sleeved top. Love the pink and grey combo. Have a blessed day!
Love the wrinkle top in today’s outfit (I, too, prefer not to iron). My choice for the giveaway would be the dress. It just screams Spring! Have a great day and a wonderful birthday month, Tania.
I love today’s outfit…is perfect! I love the color of this top. Bright colors really make me happy. I vote for the colorful sleeveless dress out of all outfits listed. Enjoy your day!
Love the dress. Happy Birthday month!
Loved them all but I’ll have to go with the checked shirt.
All of the outfits are cute ! But I would have to say the long sleeve top i love the colors Happy Birthday
Love love love the Checked Top. Such a crisp combo of navy and white. Happy Birthday to you! ?
I really like them all but I think my favorite is the dress! Happy Birthday month!?
Cute outfit I really love it Tania.

Love that dress! The colors are amazing!
I liked the cashmere wrap you styled for the Purple Poppy.
All those outfits are great. I guess I would go with the dress. I love the colors and when it’s warm I love wearing dresses.
i love you in the checked top, very chic.
