The Find: A Great Shell for Layering

Jun 2, 2023

This is the time of year when layering matters.  Some people think that time is the winter, but those people don’t work in an air conditioned government office or law firm where the thermostat is controlled by men in suits.  So owning a few great shells is important for wardrobe efficacy.

This Fringe Trimmed Silk Top is a basic with a fun detail on the collar, hem and sleeve.  And yes, the top is 100% silk, which justifies it’s slightly higher than usual price point for H&M.  Sizing runs XS to L.

If you’re looking for a fun weekend look, you can pair it with the matching fringe trim shorts.  This set would look cute with a block high heel for a rooftop party or relaxed drinks event.

If you need tops for work, this long sleeve, silky blouse is giving Diplomat vibes.  This wrap top with blouson sleeves would also look great on its own with a pair of trousers.  And I love the look of this smocked blouse in 100% cotton; the graphic floral print is to die for.
