Easy Breezy Summer Tops

The choking heat continues here in NYC so my eyes are constantly peeled for light breezy clothes to help me cope.

I saw a girl on 5^th Avenue yesterday sporting this sweet pink top and it is so much prettier when it’s on an actual person rather than crammed into an overstocked clothing rack. She looked so comfortable and chic and I totally regretted not trying it on my previous marathon J. Crew shopping extravaganza.

I am a sucker for all things ombre so this silk charmeuse tank really leapt out at me. Since there isn’t a Dillards anywhere nearby I haven’t seen it in person but this picture really makes me want to whip out the ol’ MC and give it a whirl.

Some of my best purchases were made this way and I’m feeling a little lucky. Would you buy something online sight unseen?

Cute Swimsuit...even if you're a DD

I don't understand why some bathing suit designers make suits for larger busted women without going the extra inch to provide a bit of support. I can't tell you the number of tops I've tried in "full coverage" cuts that leave the girls looking smooshed, droopy, and just plain sad.

Not so with this cute Coco Reef number. Most importantly the underwire cups come without the ubiquitous stuffing that many manufacturers seem to think big-boobied gals need. (As if). The result is a rack that is not crushed, overly-inflated, and thankfully free of weird puckered fabric bits in odd places.

I love the beaded detail at the neck plus the fabric falls slightly away from the cups so that it just skims your waist giving the illusion of a slender torso. It can be paired with a variety of bottoms so you can truly customize your look. Try it with jeans and a cute straw bag and your ready for the green market.

Get it Dillards.
