Banana Republic: Silk Ruffle Front Top in Seafoam



Silk Ruffle Front Top: $69
Available in Ivory and Seafoam
100% Silk; Hand Wash Cold
SOLD OUT online


Seafoam color... I really love this color although I don't think it compliments pale skin (or maybe just MY skintone) perfectly.  Also, there is no zipper.... making it slighty more challenging to put on, but no weird zipper bump on the side.

Not too 'boaty', even in a Small (sans baby in the belly, I would have gotten an XS)

With white Jackie.  I think you could also pair it with a light pink or lavendar for Easter.  Do the ruffles look like a hot mess?  I truely can't decide.

Here's the deal:  I'm not sure if I'm keeping this or not.  In fact, after taking the pics for the blog, I put it back in a bag with the receipt with the intentions of returning it.  But, after doing this post, I'm kind of changing my mind and have a new fondness for it.  A major reason I'm considering keeping it now is because it's hand washable.  That is a difference maker for me.

I am definitely swayed by the color, which I love and don't have any camis or tanks in yet.  Although, do I love this design?  And, will I love it come August and Sept when I'll get the most wear out of it AFTER I have my baby?

Chime in:  Should I keep this?  I got it for about $55 after BR's latest promo.

UPDATE:  Check out this Silk Dahlia Tank at Ann Taylor on sale for $29.  This is a great alternative on the cheap... sizes are going FAST!

OOTD: Nautical for the Riverfront & Free Shipping on Etsy Shop Items!

First off, this is the last day of FREE SHIPPING on flower pins in my Etsy Shop! I'm leaving on vaca on Tuesday, so today is the last day I can take orders and ship out tomorrow!

This is the outfit I wore a couple of days ago to eat and hang out by the river.

Tee: J. Crew
Jeans: Paige Premium
Belt: J. Crew
Necklace: F21
Bracelet: J. Crew
Blazer: Banana












I was giving this "blazer look a try. I still feel a little manly in a blazer. I think I pulled this off pretty well, but I still feel more feminine and comfy in a nice cardigan! But that's just me!
HUGE shout out to Paige Premium Denim jeans. I going to be doing some denim reviews in the coming week, as well as some AWESOME baby product reviews ... so watch for that!
Enjoy your Sunday!
