Get The Look: Off-The-Shoulder Spring Vibes

Happy Black History Month, cuties! 🖤✊🏾

After a vvvvv extended hiatus from the blog, I’m back and I promise I won’t ever leave for that long ever again. But hear me out, while I was gone, I spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of content and looks I want to share with y’all this year, and I’ve got new inspiration taking flight!🚀 In addition to the endless fashion moments I’ll be serving in 2020, you can also expect more personal content and maybe even some video and/or multimedia content coming down the road. But while we wait for alladat, let’s get into this perfect spring transition outfit, shall we? Keep scrolling! 👇🏾

If you’re like me and you live somewhere that doesn’t exactly follow the typical season in temperature or in fashion rules, this blog post is 100% for you. If you’re one of those people who won’t see even remotely warmer weather for another 5 months, bless your heart.😅 But this post is also guaranteed to age well, so keep reading and get ready to shop! By now you’ve noticed my love for all things off-the-shoulder is more than real. Issa lifestyle. And this cute bardot top with frilled hem from Pretty Little Thing is certainly no exception.

The timeless style has proven over the decades that it’s not going anywhere, and it’s pretty obvious why that’s the case. 🔥Off-the-shoulder tops (also sometimes referred to as bardot tops), provide an instant level of sex appeal and femininity to the shoulders, collarbones, and even cleavage if you find the right neckline option. Because of the natural emphasis on the shoulder area, off-the-shoulder tops can help to create a more cinched waist and look fabulous on any sized torso or bust. All my ITBC (Itty Bitty Titty Committee) gyals, rejoice! 💃🏾

THE DEETS: White Frill Edge Crop Top - Pretty Little Thing; High Ankle Skinny Jeans - H&M; Gianni Bini Block Heel Mules - Dillard’s; Circle Bag - ASOS

While the reasons why you should have a off-the-shoulder top in your spring transition wardrobe are plentiful, let me help you out with a few of my favorites:

  1. All-weather friendly. ☀️❄️No matter what the forecast holds, a long-sleeved bardot top is the key to keeping you just warm enough. The style is also perfect for layering, since your shoulders will already be bare. Add a leather jacket for some edge or layer up in some relaxed denim.

  2. Show ‘em off! 💁🏾‍♀️ Whatever your favorite upper body asset (or assets😉) may be, an off-the-shoulder blouse gives you the perfect opportunity to let it enjoy some time in the spotlight. Go braless for a saucy approach or add your go-to highlighter to your collarbones for a glowing touch.

  3. Timelessness is key. 🗝A bardot top is an ideal closet staple for one major reason: it'll never go out of style. The barely-there neckline is just too cute of a silhouette to ever let go of. Buy one (or several) bardot blouses and enjoy them season after season on repeat!
