10th Commandment: May 29

Jones New York Plus-Size Shell ($84)

Yesterday, we talked about sleeveless shells for the office.  This pretty floral shell is a great choice, and it comes in misses ($79) as well.  This petite silk shell has a nearly identical floral pattern and costs $59.

I also found this orange floral-printed shell and this drape neck printed shell.  And this lace-printed shell is cute and inexpensive.

Looking for a top with texture?  I found this great eyelet shell and this sleeveless Boden blouse is Broderie with a Peter Pan collar and comes in a lot of fun colors.  Both would look fabulous under a crew neck cardigan or without.

But if it’s basics that you’re after, I found this pintucked sleeveless blouse is lovely, this contrasting tie-neck is also nice ($25!) and this ponte Banana Republic top is a great basic.

Petite? This tie-neck top is versatile, and this printed top has a shallow cap sleeve.  Plus-size?  I like this zig-zag print top and this pleated top would look awesome belted underneath a cardigan or alone.

Look for Less

    I really like that eyelet shell! It would be mine if I weren’t currently pregnant.

    Nice! Shells are great for summer–they keep you from roasting on the way to work in a sleeved top and keep you from freezing once in the office (definitely a problem for me) when you layer a blazer over them.

    I love that you include plus sizes in these. I actually ordered the white pin tuck top from Nordstrom after seeing it here (it’s part of their sale rigt now) and it came last night.

    I’m going to leave a review on Nordstrom’s site and at Amazon but thought I would comment here in case any of your readers are still looking at it.

    The quality and fit are excellent, but it is very sheer. It comes with a white (also sheer) cami underneath and I added a second nude cami because you could still see my bra’s stitching.

Saw It On Social: Rooted

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
