A Wardrobe Staple: The Long Sleeve Tee

{ Via: Sold Out New York }

I think we all want to hang unto summer as long as we can. But here in The Hudson Valley, we have needed long sleeves all week.  With one month to go until fall is official, these shirts can be worn now and layered for the next season.  Though these are wardrobe staples, each one offers something special like, fabric content, color, pattern, or details like covered buttons.

The Perfect Tee

Designed with a classic cut and crew neck on 100% Organic Peruvian cotton. Also available in black and navy. You don't see navy often! $98

Sold Out NYC

The Jada Cotton Tee

Added to this mix because of the very chic color. It's called Plum Purple. The fabric is stretchy for comfort and a close fit. $80

Reiss

The Felix Tee In Rama Print

A long sleeve organic cotton Tee Shirt that's different from the rest. I love the three covered buttons on each sleeve. The Rama print is perfect for denim.

Clean Cut Regular Tee Shirt

It's cotton and comes in 10 shades. My experience is that Cos makes tops that are nice and roomy. $59

Spring Trend: Roses Are In Full Bloom

The roses certainly aren't blooming in The Hudson Valley today. We are in the middle of a nor'easter.  So let's think warm thoughts with this spring fashion trend. Like Miley Cyrus, we all can buy our own flowers, especially ones that do not fade. This trend is romantic and perfectly pretty.

A plunging neckline is softenned by a ravishing rosette. The dress is done in georgette, and I think it is gorgeous, if you can wear it. Under $200.

It's International Bow Day! That's all I needed to hear for today's theme. A good bow is hard to resist. It adds a certain whimsy wherever it is used. This edit features a bevy of bows for head to toe style. Even if you aren't a bow girl, you have to agree that these
