A Fabulous Alternative for an Off-The-Shoulder Top

X marks the spot! The Banana Republic print cross-neck top is the perfect summer top. It’s shoulder-baring without the fuss of keeping it in place. It has a striking combination of print and color. It has a right-on-trend ruffle overlay. It’s even 40% off right now with the code BRFLASH!

I saw the top in-store while in New York City this past weekend, so I tried it on having had it wish-listed for a minute. I liked it so much that I purchased it and wore it the very next day. For reference, I’m wearing the top in a size small.

Of course, I visited a few J.Crew stores while in the big city as well. We have J.Crew stores in St. Louis, but our local stores get a fraction of the inventory. St. Louis stores don’t even receive the shoes, and you know those are my favorite things to purchase at the Crew. While there, then, I tried on every shoe style I’ve been curious about. I’m glad I did, too, because J.Crew sizes aren’t consistent across styles. I bought the Sadie flats in snakeskin-printed leather in a half size smaller (7 1/2 instead of 8) than I usually wear. These flats are also available in a luxe-looking suede and a leopard calf hair.

    I love ALL of the pieces! Thanks for continually inspiring me and bring out the “stylist” in me! Now when I dress, I think of what Economy of Style would think.😎Thank you, Psyche!
