A Wear Lace Swing Top



Let's just say I have been a bit crazy with the lace and peter pan collar lately. I was browsing the clearance section of asos.com and came upon this lace top with a subtle peter pan collar. The material and style of this piece just gave such a nice feminine and classy feel and definitely made me feel pretty. 

The material of the top is very delicate which made snagging a problem but is is hardly to noticeable due to holes already in the lace detail. The lace is not the poorly made lace usually from cheaper tops but has a lot of detail and pattern. I usually pair this with a Madewell perfect racerback tank which is the perfect outline for the this top. You may also pair with a lace bralette, but I tend to be more on the conservative side. 

Verdict: Take it
Color: Only in Navy
Price: $15.19
Size: US 4 (5'4", 115 lbs, 25" waist)

Express: Zip Back Peplum Top



I have been a little late on the peplum trend. I was never able to find one that did not make me look fat or flared out in the right way. A lot of the peplum tops were very short and cut very funny. I ventured into express the other day, browsing their semi-annual sale, and came upon this top  which immediately intrigued me with its light yellow color. I am a sucker for happy colors.

The top had a nice ponte material and was thick enough that a nude bra would not show which is another problem with tops now a days and their see through material. The top definitely will not lose its shape even sleeping in it which I did when I was too lazy to change. All in all, this top is definitely a "take it" item. I decided to purchase the white one also because I liked it so much.
