The Natalie Top

I realize I'm a little behind as the above Lucky Mag "basics" piece is from their June issue and July has already long been out. I just wanted to share it though, because they are showing what a great staple/basic the tie top is. I love seeing stories that could have pieces of ours in them that refer to classics or basics because it attests to the piece's wearability and lasting power. A top for keeps, not 5 minutes. On the page you see above (and the following) they pair these "loosely knotted tops" with pencil and simple skirts, and pointy shoes for a "'60s inspired look." Something I love. And you can see on the model how they update it -- she is wearing a very au courant color combination seen all over the summer runway. This is an easy pairing for work as a great alternative to a suit, but looks great around town too - weeknight dinner, or brunch. Unfortunately for those of you snoozing on the job we're sold out of navy and tangerine. However, we still have some Khaki/butter (below) which I think are great summer colors. Don't be scared of khaki it is the yellow touching your skin, which is rich enough to not wash you out even if you havent been baking on the beach! And stay tuned for new fall color combos - you can wear the same outfit with a cardigan, tights and boots, and it'll take you right into winter!!
