Tie-Neck Dot Top (J.CREW, $118)

Every season, there is one J.CREW piece that I know I’ll see everywhere.  This season, it’s this navy-dot top with the tie-neck.  And given its versatility, classic styling and simple print, it’s not hard to see why.

Looking for something similar under-$50?  This sleevless Nine West top has a simple black and white dot print and tie-neck.

    Belle I'm so excited to see how you style this blouse! I just got the less expensive version from the J.Crew Factory Store… sans bow.

    I tried this on last night at Friendship Heights and I hated it. Too blousy, no shape, and I have never liked ruffles or bows near the neck. Now I'm glad I won't have a item owned by every other woman in DC 🙂

    You can't possible post too many tie-neck blouses for me. I'm obsessed with the Banana Republic piece and loving the lower priced versions as well.

  4. Belle says:

    JS: Like all J.CREW pieces (unfortunately), this one is vanity sized to the max. I had mine taken in (cost $22) looks great.

    It's already posted if you're curious. They usually are. So no need to wait until 1.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
