On paper, you might think this top has too much going on, with a lace-up element, jersey body, and ruffled trim that also happens to be sheer - but it was love at first sight for me. Elizabeth and James tend to do everything well, so I knew it would work somehow. It's such a well-executed mix of casual and feminine, sporty and sexy, and delicate and everyday - like a more beautiful, interesting take on a basic tee. I thought it paired best with slightly distressed denim to offset the romantic ruffles, and threw on my favorite neon rainbow heels for a touch of modernity.

Dressed-Up Denim

Up until the past year or so, I had never been much of a jeans girl. I mainly attribute that to not yet having found my go-to brands that work best for me (Mother, Agolde, and Madewell). Now, I wear them most days of the week. And though there's never anything wrong with going ...read more
