Which tops are you liking lately??

[bimbi284]

I've bought so many dresses lately and have very few cute spring/summer tops and tanks that I like anymore! I need some inspiration because I haven't seen anything that cute just browsing online. My eyes just keep seeing cute dresses, lol. Have you seen/bought anything cute lately?

PIPs (or links) welcome!!

ETA: Geez...how many times can I say "cute" in one post? LOL

Any guidelines on style, color, etc? Or price range? Anthro has quite a few really cute tops on sale... i.e.

Im on a dress kick too. Tops haven't even entered my mind. They're just so comfortable!

I know!! Its becoming a problem though, haha. I think I need a dress-vention.

Ooh that tank is cute...I could make that work, haha.

ETA: Except its only in XL :-(. Go figure. (I wear XS or S for reference)

As far as price range, I guess I should stick to under $50. I don't wear pink. Other than that, I'm open to anything. I guess for inspiration-sake budget isn't much of an issue...I just need to start seeing tops again, lol.

I didn't even look at the sizes. My bad haha. You might want to check stores though the stores near me always have a better selection than the online sale stuff. And last week I picked up a dress that was supposed to be $268 for $39.99!

I'll try to find some other options. I don't feel like working today haha

I just bought this at Old Navy this morning. It is way cuter in person than on the model in the pic, IMO. The model looks like she needs a size smaller.

Oooooh I might love this top from H&M in mint...has anyone seen it in person? Tried it on?

Sorry Bimbi, but that mint top is too shiny for me! VS has some cute bra tops, have you checked them out?

[hz80408]

Ah Bim! I love that, but in the white! Cute!

[NachoProblem]

I agree with hz, the white is better.

I love this top!

I just got this one at Anthro. I thought it was wild if that tells you anything, but DH loved it. It's a little sheer and supposed to be bigger which combats the sheer fabric.

Got this in Navy, but it's also avaiable in green. It's longer and really light fabric that's flowy. The neck makes it great to throw on since you don't need a necklace. It's tunic length, but could be tucked in.

I bought 2 more dresses yesterday and another over the weekend. This board may need a dress intervention since I think I'm picking up another one on Sunday.

Ooh I like that tank FCG!

I had a feeling you would. I grabbed it to layer under something and ended up getting it too.
I also grabbed this shrug to layer over tanks and dresses. It's beige and white with gold flecks. I figured it could dress up tanks and plain sundresses at night.

Oooh that's cute too! I have a similar one in gray that I wear at least once a week, haha.

[FormerCityGirl]

I thought you would. It came in Navy too, but I can't find it online. I'm doing a lot of shrugs lately.

I bought 4 gingham long sleeve button down shirts. I have now replaced my leopard addiction with gingham and seersucker stripes, haha. I plan on rolling up the sleeves and wearing it with shorts, skirts, etc. I finally got my white cable knit crew neck sweater at the the j crew factory store yesterday for $20!!! I plan in wearing it with my baby blue gingham shorts.

I was wondering if you saw those. They had royal and white striped ones in Nashville along with several other colors.

FCG--hi there! That sweater checked all the boxes for me, I thought I was imagining it when I first spotted it. Because that never happens! Lol

That's what I thought when I saw it was actually cotton. I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting the stripes, but after all the shopping we did in Nashville earlier this week, J. Crew last week, and Indy yesterday I held back. I may check back since we're in Nashville next weekend, Indy tomorrow, and Chicago on Tuesday.

[FormerCityGirl]

It was actually $14 that day since they had 30% off clearance, but I was trying to be good since we were b-day shopping for DH. I was trying to be the good wife since this was his b-day trip. I'm also thinking fate if I find it again.
