Just adding to Angie's blog post this am with an additional recommendation. I wear mostly monochromatic black/gray/navy with a very little white. So I rely on texture and interest. I bought the ted baker katrynn tops in both black and white. These are heavy cotton crochet, very nicely made, substantial, exposed zips back and they come with a little matching cami (which I don't use). I wear a pact shelf camisole almost everyday. In this heat a top that is dressy for work but cool and versatile is a total hewi. I wear the white over a black cami and bottom but I have a white and gray camisoles that I can also wear. I love that I can take my blazer off and still look polished. Highly recommended if you can find your size. I am a size 4 and took a TB size 2 (which is a 6 according to them because I waanted it to hang like on the model with some movement). Layers beautifully. A total wild card was purchaseing the TB Cohra dress. Same crochet long midi, just about ankles on 5'3" me. I actually tried it on over my sports bra and leggings yesterday and wow, super cute. it come with a short slip and bandeau (I would never wear it like that and bought it knowing that. Complaints on the dress are all inre of this, not the dress itself. Ofc that's why it's marked down now.) I have an EF long tank dress which layers perfectlyhttps://www.eileenfisher.com/s.....e&gad Similar. Ofc you could do a skims or commando or silk long slip. I also have an silk EF tank dress to layer. I have no idea if this is a huge mistake for an imaginary lifestyle...but it would be awesome pool to dinner, gym to dinner could dress up or down depending on the underlayers. I have so many ways I could style it but it's a reach for me. But this could absolutely go dressy, cocktail with the right accessories or casual, I don't have anything that could swing in this way. Fits perfectly so I am strongly consider taking a flyer on it at the sale price. But I have been on a hewi hunt for years for elegant layering tops and I highly recommend these especially at the sale price. My pre-NAS purchases!
