The Find: A Lace Trimmed Blouse

Oct 1, 2019

Sometimes I spot a piece and just thing, “Yes, that.  I need that.”  This elegant, lace-trimmed blouse from Ann Taylor is just such a piece.  Don’t miss it.

There are many things to like about this Lacy Wrap Top ($80, also in petite).  First, the lace trim is delightful — not too frilly, but feminine and pretty.  The wrap shape is flattering on many body types.  And the finished hem means that you can wear it tucked in or not without looking rumpled.

If you’re concerned about the top being too revealing, there is a snap to keep it closed.  I paid the alterations person at my dry cleaner $6 to move the snap to a location that was more flattering on me.  If you have an ample chest, you may want a sturdier snap, as the one included is a bit flimsy.

Looking for a similar blouse without the trim?  This Antonio Melani wrap top was in saved in my wishlist until I found this one.  Plus-size?  This Pleione top is a crowd pleaser. I also like this City Chic wrap top.  Any competent tailor could add a peek-a-boo lace trim to either of these blouses.  Tall?  This ASOS top is available in limited sizes.

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 […]
