Whimsical Print Tops

By -
I need some tops. Somehow, I've ended up all bottoms and layering tanks with nothing to pair with the bottoms or wear over the tanks. While the practical side of me thinks I should buy basic, professional, classic tops, the fun side of me says, "Why do plain old polka dots when you can dot a top with cartoon people at an umbrella cafe?" or "Forget leopard print; buy a shirt spotted with little leopards." I can wear a shirt adorned with tiny bunnies to a business meeting, right?
Pictured: Rabbits & Rings Top, Romwe, $25.33; Sailboat Tee, Modcloth, $37.99; Wine and Dine Blouse, Modcloth, $57.99

What would you want to wear on a whimsical top?

Bunnies for sure. Bunnies or books. But not bunnies and books because that ends poorly for books every time.

I also really love that eyeglasses print I posted in a PD a few weeks ago.

"You Can Wear It Again"

One of my college roommates sent me a book called You Can Wear It Again: A Celebration of Bridesmaids' Dresses by Meg Mateo Ilasco. I must admit I uttered those words to my bridesmaids. The best burgundy fabric we could find was a butterfly brocade, so we ended up making Chinese-style tops (no strapless, backless bra required) and gold skirts. My roommate (on the right) actually wore the top until the zipper died, so maybe I wasn't quite as delusional at these other brides.

The pictures in "You Can Wear It Again" can be a whole lot of fun with a gabby group of girl friends. I plan to cover the pictures in snarky post-it notes and pass it to becca (who will not make me wear satin polka dots and a floppy hat) to do the same. When it makes its way through all our friends, we'll have a great collection of comments.

Note to brides: It is unfair to make your sisters, cousins, and b…
