I love, love, love this crochet top!  It was a #fabfound last year at Marshalls.  This time, I layered a sleeveless blouse underneath that has a t-shirt hemline, but it’s also great for layering over a tank or camisole.  Crochet and lace are great pieces for summer, and when Fall rolls around and the weather cools down, just wear a long-sleeved blouse underneath.  The texture and detailing give any outfit a feminine touch.

You can never go wrong with a classic ballet flat.  And let’s just admit that though heels are fabulous, some days a flat is the more practical choice.  Invest in a great pair.  I purchased these from the Real Real.  I was drawn by the rich camel/tan and classy bow.

To finish off the outfit, I grabbed a distressed skinny jean in an ankle length that would show off the flats and a #F21 beaded necklace in an ombre jade to break up all the beige.
