A Week of Tops: The Best of Mango

Dec 13, 2021

I knew my wardrobe wasn’t ready to go back to the office, but I didn’t know just how unprepared it was.  The last two weeks have proven that I do not own enough tops to keep my looks fresh.  Many of my previous work horses no longer fit.  Others are showing their age.  And it’s time to restock my selection of shirts, blouses, and assorted tops.

My goal is to get to ten tops that fit, look good, and can be used to make multiple outfits.  (Right now, I have four.)  10 is a good number because even if I need to wear one every day, I’m still rotating on a two week schedule.  Often enough to re-wear pieces, not so often that anyone will notice or I’ll get bored.

So this week, I’m going to share a few of my favorite tops from the brands and retailers that can help me refresh my wardrobe without sending me into hock.  Let’s start with Mango.  Every blouse is under-$100.

Floral V-Neck Blouse

Puffed Sleeves Blouse

    I’ve been looking for blouses here in Spokane, but it is hard to find anything that does not have puffy sleeves, voluminous amounts of fabric or ruffles that overwhelm my petite five foot frame. Are you able to offer any suggestions? I’d love to have a one or two blouses to wear under a blazer or cardigan.

      hear you on the puffed sleeve front; I’m also 5’0 and it’s NOT a good look for us, and hard to avoid since it’s a trend that’s everywhere right now!

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 […]
