I found this top on the Anthro website while looking for sandals and also scoping out dresses or skirts for summer (almost nothing in that department for me, I’m afraid). It appealed to me enough that I placed an order for it.

As I put this in my Finds, I noticed that Angie has been assembling a collection of crocheted items, so I’m getting the jump on her a little bit, but I hope she doesn’t mind! It does seem to be trending, so I thought I’d share this.

It arrived and I’m pleased with the color, quality and fit. It’s the kind of thing you definitely need to layer over something unless you’re young and/or fit and/or unshy about showing some skin. For me, it’s a piece to layer over a tank or cami, maybe even over something with a sleeve in cooler weather.

It’s one size, and it fits me closer than the model, obviously — I’m about a US size 8 on top at the moment and the fit is just roomy enough that it layers nicely and skims the body. It just hits my hip, perhaps a little higher than the model here? It would probably not work for anyone larger than a size 10-12 on top.

I’ll try to do a little styling and take some pics at some point, but it’s a pretty summer piece for those of us who don’t like all the frillier, super boho stuff out now but would like a little trendy addition to the summer closet.
