I’ve started to add more off-the-shoulder tops to my wardrobe (ok – this is only my second one!) but I’m really starting to love them! At first I thought I couldn’t really pull off the look because it made me look half naked (flashback to those tube tops I wore in college!) but then I realized it’s all about finding the right fit. I like ones that don’t go too far down and preferably with long sleeves. Since I’m showing more skin up top I like to cover up my arms! This top from Banana Republic is perfect! I love the little details like the sleeve ties and the button up back. Sadly, it’s sold out right now online but I recently saw it in stores. It’s totally worth stalking it online or checking in stores because it’s super cute!
P.S. I’m wearing an XS and it runs a little big. So to keep it on my shoulders better I added an extra button on the back at the top to make it tighter.
I also want to mention this necklace I added to my Dear Survivor jewelry collection. Bolo’s aren’t just for cowboys anymore! I love that it’s adjustable so you can create a lot of different looks with it. It’s handmade with leather, copper, and rose quartz in San Diego, California. There are also different styles and colors to choose from. And 10% of proceeds go to survivors of human trafficking in California so it’s jewelry with a cause!

Such a chic top with a hint of feminine by showing off the shoulders. Loving your easy and chic look.

So so so cute! I love how it looks kinda masculine with the pinstripes and very feminine with the cut. Perfect balance! And those shoes are all of the yeses!
Beautiful top!!

Looks like we are going to be twinning! I’m glad I scooped up this top! I do think it runs big and I even did the petite and still runs big. Going to have to try that button trick.

I’ve been seeing off shoulder tops lately, but loving this one with its pinstripes and the button back. Such a nice detail!

Hope to see you for TBT Fashion link up.
That top is gorgeous. I have to stalk my local BR and get it. I need it. I immediately noticed the pretty blush rose necklace with this. Like you, recently I have added a few off-shoulder tops and I am obsessed lol.
Have a fantastic weekend Jessica!
I’m jealous that your jeans have worn so well, I have the same pair and they got huge vertical rips above/below the knee holes 🙁 I’m trying to figure out how to distress them more so they look normal again.

I try to be really careful when I wear them…haha. But they are more ripped than when I first got them. I’m thinking about sewing a little around the edges to prevent them from ripping more. But luckily the really distressed look is in! haha…
What great top! I love the vertical stripes, too. And it such an adorable outfit with denim and lace up shoes.
Off the shoulders are so hot right now it’s everywhere I turn! I gotta get me one. Would love if you can link up to http://the-wardrobe-stylist.com/2016/05/15/losing-baby-weight-episode-1/
