Here is a Marc by Marc Jacobs top from Bluefly.com. It features this great netting on the front neckline and the back yoke. The silk crepe material is nice and lightweight so it won’t weigh you down. Oh, and they are hard to see in the picture, but there are two netted front pockets on this top – zoom in for a closer look! I’m not sure how functional they would be, but they sure LOOK cute!

This pretty Chloé top is really brightening up my day! I can’t wait to be able to wear summery clothes and put these sweaters away for the next 6 months!
This coral blouse has a loose, cool fit. A shock of pink sits on the shoulders and sleeves, brightening up the top a bit more. The ruching at the yoke is my favorite part (it’s all in the little details!), and a hidden button placket in the back creates some interest in the back. Wear it by itself or with a loose fitting cardigan if it gets a little chilly.

This Michael Kors blouse really takes my mind off winter. How can it not with its airy flowiness and light pink color?! It’s made of silk crepe – probably the most lightweight material you can possibly find. The pintuck details at the front flow out into the bottom half of the shirt, making it a little more billowy. (Is that even a word?) Anyway, see below for more details!

The only white stuff I’ve seen lately is snow, snow, and more snow. And then some more. Seriously. So I’m happy to be looking at something that is white, but much prettier than the dirty snow outside my window right now! This Vivienne Westwood top is all frills and bows and cuteness. Not over the top, but just enough to make a girly girl happy! Cool things include a drawstring at the neck, a v-shaped bib neck accent, and ruffled slash sleeves. Check out some more info below!

Here’s a peasant blouse from Marc by Marc Jacobs at Piperlime.com. The main point of interest is the allover bohemian paisley print. Splashes of green against a navy and purple background make for an interesting pattern – a nice change from your all-too-normal solid! The bohemian-feeling pattern coupled with the loose blousey fit make this a little reminiscent of the 60′s and 70′s without looking like you’re on your way to Woodstock. Just to be safe, I’d avoid wearing super bell-bottom pants!! Try some skinny jeans to update your look instead. Funny how putting skinny jeans and a peasant blouse together is like combining the 70′s and 80′s. I guess the 2000′s are not as original as we’d like to think! Anyway, check out some more info below.

Disclaimer: I do not approve of the way this blouse is worn in the picture. This is the direct result of bad taste and bad fashion and should not be repeated by anyone, ever.
Whew, got that out of the way! Forget the whole model-is-wearing-bra-as-shirt thing. Let’s focus on the important things. Like the little pleats at the shoulders, and the diagonal shadow stripes, and the button closure off on the side. Or how about the slight billow in the arms and the flirty hem? This is good stuff, people!!! Best of all, the diagonal stripes and long torso will make you look slim and slender, just the way you like it! Choose from a taupe-ish/grey and maroon.

This Stella McCartney is stellar, in my opinion (pun intended). It’s all the things a cute spring or summer shirt should be: it’s made of flowy material, it’s lightweight and airy, and it comes in a color that screams warm weather and makes you want to sit on a beach and sip a piña colada.
The ruching all over makes this shirt feel lighter and makes it look even prettier. There is a line of ruching at the empire waist, one above the band at the bottom, and even some on the sleeves. Did I mention the material is 100% silk? Basically, this is a great top in every way imaginable!

As I was looking through the most recent posts, I realized I have put up almost all dark-colored clothing in the last week or so! It must be this cold winter weather that’s getting to me or something. Anyway, in an effort to bring some more color to your screen, here’s a beautiful red blouson top by Ports 1961. This is one of those pieces that looks good on everyone because of its naturally loose cut. The cinching at the waist balances the boat neck and gives you a nice shape. And then there’s the lovely, drapey deep V at the back – so simple and elegant!
