Style Day: Lace Sleeve Top Remixed

It’s hot already you guys. Really, really hot in Georgia. Heat is to Georgia as Meghan is to skirts. I always loved analogies. Skirts are really the only saving grace for me living in this hot box. Well, and a/c. I don’t know how southerners did it before a/c.

But I’m not going to talk about the skirt today (besides that it’s amazing). I’ll stick with the top. It’s the Lace Sleeve Top from J.Crew. It has been 50% off the sale price of late. For me, it’s the perfect structured summer top. There are sleeves, meaning I don’t have to wear a jacket or cardigan over it. It’s a heavier cotton, so it’s not see-through and is warm enough without said jacket/cardi. Third, the sleeves are a lacey eyelet and there’s a few holes to let the heat out. Built in a/c for the top, if you will. It has an invisible zip and hook and eye closure. The hook and eye closure is kinda impossible to get to and close. I really wish it didn’t have it. It pokes, just like every h&e closure and it’s at a funny spot.

Also, I tried out one of these in my hair for a bun. Because my arms don’t coordinate enough to get a good look at the back of my head in a mirror holding a hand mirror, I included the picture of the back of my head so I could see what it looked like. Personally, I think I have too much hair for something like this to work. A sock has worked OK in the past for a bun. What do y’all think? Can you tell anything from the picture?

  1. When I saw the "alllll summer long" comment I was like, "Oh that's definitely Katy because she's #nopantssummer" I LOVE that hashtag. Lol.
    The shoes are pretty cheap at Amazon right now. I think that's the link I used. I have worn them almost every day I've had them so far. I'll probably be talking about those next Monday if I don't wear them out before then.

  2. Thank you Lauren! Lace always adds that little something special in my opinion. I plan on linking up for the foreseeable future. It's a mix it up summer for me!

  3. So cute! I love both looks, but I am a skirt girl too so I naturally gravitate toward the skirt look as my favorite. And I am totally digging the shoes!

  4. What a great top, Meghan! I really like navy, even though I own a grand total of ZERO navy tops (WHAT?!), and it looks fantastic with both the pants and the skirt. The sleeves on your shirt are really fun as well – it is a great twist on a typical tee.

  5. (WHAT?!) is right! At least a navy tee is totally necessary. Not that I'm encouraging you to shop or anything. I was looking for more short sleeve tops and this fit the bill, with a twist. It's like a fancy sweatshirt top tee type shirt. Not sure if there's a better way to describe that or not!

  6. That is a cute top, I love eyelet lace, so having the little detail really makes this something special. A zipper and hook and eye seem silly for a cotton tee – is is really necessary?

    As for the bun, I don't think you have too much hair, maybe you just need to fuss with it all little more? I was into the sock bun for a while, but I think I prefer my buns a little smaller without it.
