I have no idea what made me fall in love with this shirt (maybe because it's black and white?) but I was literally walking by Express and I saw it on a hanger in the front of the store and I immediately walked straight in, picked it up and tried it on. Then I had to have it of course! It looks so cute with jeans and shorts which means it's perfect for the office or for just hanging out. I haven't really been to crazy about the baby doll dress trend coming back in but this top is definitely changing my mind. I love the cute little crochet detailing and the semi-sheerness of it makes it sexy without being too sexy. It's a great lightweight material that will be cool enough for summer and I love that it isn't super tight.
The baby doll trend seems to always come back in fashion. it was popular in the 60's, in the late 80's/early 90's and now again. At first I wondered about the popularity of this trend but I realized the shape of a baby doll dress is actually flattering on almost any body type so that's probably why it sticks around! So if you have a baby doll top or dress in your closet and you're debating on getting rid of it maybe think again (unless it's some crazy ridiculous print... then maybe I'd think about pretending it didn't happen!) you never know when it's going to make the full circle and be back in style!
Oh my goodness, that shirt is perfect! I'm not wild about the baby doll trend either, but for some reason I absolutely love this shirt. I think you made a good call to buy it right away! You look gorgeous as always!
That would look so cute with white shorts as well (which I'm sure you have). Don't you love when clothes call your name from afar? I mean it's not my fault it was beckoning me!
You look amazing! Wish I had your figure! Loving the monochrome look, you can never go wrong with it. Followed you! Be fab if you could check out my blog? I'm over at trustinvogue.com.
