Ready for Spring, but Wear it Now
Welcome to the Sunday Showcase! I love a piece that can be worn year round: the Denise top is a gorgeous top from Avara that I received when I became an ambassador for the brand last month. I was drawn to it because of the royal blue, the pretty sleeves and how I thought it would fit my style with a little boho vibe with the collar.
I have recently learned how important it is to read the sizing for a piece: I could tell from the pictures of the blouse, that it would be boxy and a little cropped to I decided to size down to an XS. The top fits perfectly if a little tight at the elastic on the sleeve band.
I absolutely love how the material drapes and how I will be able to pair with a multitude of bottoms this spring and summer. White denim pants, shorts and skirts, any type of denim, kakhi and more. And for colder days, just add a denim jacket (blue, white, even yellow) or give it an edgy vibe with a moto jacket.
The trim on the collar of the blouse really sets it apart and elevates the look. To keep up the vibe, I added some golden earrings I recently found at a local boutique and some of my bracelets. These thrifted WHBM jeans always have me reaching for taller shoes since they are long.
Since I am an ambassador for the brand, you can shop through my link here and I will be “rewarded” for your shopping experience. I suggest looking at their sales which can be pretty nice (I was so tempted by a couple dresses at the end of summer) and I really like their denim selection. Don’t forget to add MIREILLE15 for a 15% discount.
I am finding that blue is really my color this past year and have added several tops in my favorite aqua, royal blue and turquoise.
Have a wonderful Sunday and don’t forget to link up!

Blue and white print is such a versatile option for spring and summer – I can see this paired with a lot of different colors of skirts/pants/shorts as well as topper layers for cooler days. The neckline adds enough interest that it’s easy to skip the necklace, which is perfect for the heat.

Oh, yes, I think I will be wearing this with so much!

I lean heavily toward the boho look, so I love your shirt! I also love the color royal blue and don’t have any of it in my closet right now. I need to remedy that sometime!

Yes, boho styles are so fun and pretty! Those are often my favorites too.

Great point about checking the sizing for each and every brand. It makes such a difference.
I had a shirt that the elastic was tight around the arm like that, and I just went in from the inside and snipped the elastic.

I have learned about making some mistakes.

The blouse looks great on you…You really do have to check the sizing as every brand is different since they threw out the use of a Universal Sizing system in 1983…Such a shame that that happened! Thanks so much for stopping by!!

I know: it’s crazy how wide range the sizes can be: and sometimes it is just nice to have something oversized.

Royal blue never fails me!

Blue is such a great color on you. It really pops and makes everything feel fresh and vibrant without being too much in your face. I love the cut of this blouse, including how drapy it is and the neckline is such a fun detail. I can definitely see this being a favorite in any season. Good pick!

I am thinking I need to pair this with my new olive cargo skirt I just bought.
