Mix It Up Monday: Marigold Top

Silky charmeuse has a way of turning an ordinary top into a must-have with it's sheen and ability to bounce between weekend casual & office appropriate without missing a beat. When I wear this top, I feel like it captures the essence of "Beauty & the Beast"-ballgown-meets-"casual Friday."

Delicately pleated sleeves, keyhole front detail, stretchy and silky material...
I only wish I had this top in more colors.

A great summer-time look!
White shorts keep it light,
colorful necklace keeps it bright.

Bringing back the grey jeans from last week's post,
 they are perfectly complemented by the top, grey floral necklace [gift from Vicki]
and yellow and grey marbled cuff.

A nod to nautical--
deep navy creates an even stronger pop for the yellow
geometric necklace in silver, yellow, navy, & green
plays up the note of shimmer in the top. 

Paired with wide leg pinstriped trousers for a bold silhouette,
metallic belt for definition,
and statement necklace for bling.

Patterned skirt & clean-cut blazer make for
a sophisticated & fun suit-like outfit. 

When combined with a grey pencil skirt, pinstriped vest, and knotted pearls,
the golden top says "office appropriate" without also saying
"working for the man."

For more inspiration:
pair with dark jeans and any contrasting bright cardigan
 [ie: orchid or turquoise (both pictured here), medium green, sky blue, etc...]
for an easy weekend go-to.
