When I find a new blouse or top I love, I practically squeal with happiness. I much prefer dresses to mixing and matching tops and bottoms simply for ease. I’m pretty sure I developed this from working in TV news. I honestly don’t have time to make sure my blouse is properly tucked in when I’m frantically rushing to make deadlines. But, every once in a while, there will be a beautiful blouse and I fall for it hard. This blush crochet and bell sleeve blouse is that blouse for me and is perfect for spring.

First of all, I love the soft and feminine vibe of this top. The sheer crochet/lace yoke neckline is simply stunning. Plus, it goes down into bracelet length sleeves, which flare into beautiful bell sleeves. This top has a whimsy feel and I love the breezy silhouette. While I usually prefer tops with more shape, this one does not make you look larger than life. Also, this is would be a great top for brunch or dinner since you can eat to your heart’s content without worrying about showing that food baby! Ha! This crochet and bell sleeve top is also available in white, a vibrant red and chic black. I am definitely eyeing the red, too.

Right now spring in coastal Virginia is still pretty chilly. According to our meteorologists, we are not getting above 68 this week with lows in the 30s! So I am opting for distressed white jeans to complete this look with d’Orsay pumps for now. Once things start warming up, you can bet I will be pairing this with denim shorts and sandals or wedges.
