Sleeves For Summer

Via: Banana Republic  

After a warm winter here in the Hudson Valley, we are getting hit with a hot and humid summer. What's a girl to do when she isn't comfortable going sleeveless?  I am asking for a friend, as they say. I mean, we all can't have Michelle O'Bama arms from her White House Days. Here's some stylish solutions for staying cool, chic, and covered.

Cruz Linen Maxi Shirtdress

Most maxi's are sleeveless, and few are short sleeved. But it all works in this style. The linen and side slits will keep you cool.

Banana Republic

Crochet Beach Sweater

Consider this your air conditioned summer sweater. Forget the crochet midi skirt, though it's fun, few of us have the nerve to wear it. This all cotton crochet sweater can be worn with so many other things. If you click the link or the photo to suggested ways to  wear it. 

J. Crew

The Blossom Tee

If you are going to wear a tee shirt, make it memorable. These balloon sleeves are everything. It's a stylish shirt that comes in seven shades. Less than $70, and all cotton.

Maeve Linen Shirt Dress

Made with responsible linen, something we should all appreciate. It's an easy breezy look that you could wear anywhere. Under $200.

Anthropologie

Yana Tuxedo Jacket

Perfect to pair with any sleeveless dress or top. On sale now at...

Reiss

Sequin Kirsten Gown

Just add sequins. Almost sold out everywhere except at Halston. I can see why. If you want to make a summer statement at your next soiree, this sparkling dress gets it done. The mesh sleeves camoflauge anything you don't want noticed on your arms.

Halston

The Miranda Top

I have brought this top to you before, but it is so good, that it bears repeating. I am shocked to see that this is not cotton. It looks like polished cotton, and it is not hot at all. The top stays put, and is available in four colors. I own the black and white styles. Under $100. 

Tuckernuck.

Ba & Sh Missouri Top

Add some cut-outs. A beautiful boxy blouse will be flattering on most of us.

Hill House Home

Anne Fontaine Virtyl Bow Tee Top

Just add bows. My favorite designer of dressy and fun tops is Ann Fontaine. They are always feminine and sometimes sexy. This top with a sheer bodice  and beautiful bows is just so good. Wear it with anything, but above you can see how you can dress up denim with it.
