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.
