This hot season calls for new cool, easy, breezy tops! Can you tell it’s hot here? I keep talking about how hot it is. I have to admit, I had a moment when it got hot in Houston because I felt like I had nothing to wear! It wasn’t true, of course, but it was a great excuse to go shopping for shorts and summer tops! I posted my favorite shorts on Friday, and today I’m posting my favorite new tops!
I’m laughing because you’ll have to use your imagination with the rest of the pictures… they do not look like the first two -ha! They were taken in my house, in my old mirror that has markings on it, and with camp stuff in the background. #mominit
Eventually, I’ll post all of these tops like the first two pics, but you’ll see them here FIRST!
See what I’m saying? Not as glamorous as the other pics -ha!
I’m so excited that Nordstrom is carrying one of my new favorite brands, Sézane! I first posted about the brand here. This top and the next three tops are all by Sézane. To me, their tops are feminine and classic, which is why I now own 5 tops by them -ha!
Top- Sézane
This is the same top in crimson.
Bra situation: With this top, I’ve worn my favorite strapless (here) and a nude color bandeau. In the top two pics of this post, I’m wearing a skin color bandeau.
Sizing: I’m wearing a 2.
Top- Sézane
Have you seen a prettier t-shirt? I love wearing a tee that still makes me feel dressed up and feminine, and this tee does exactly that!
Bra situation: I wear my normal bra.
I love the back of this top and….
Top- Sézane
…the front! Tuck this in with shorts, jeans or a skirt and you’re good to go!
Sizing: I’m wearing a 2.
Bra situation: I wear my normal bra.

Top- 1.STATE
I was surprised by how much I like this top. I love the super flattering neck and shoulder cut out. Apparently, I’m late to the party on this top! They make it three different variations, AND you should see how many reviews it has! Oh well, better late than never!
Bra situation: I’ll wear my favorite strapless or a nude colored bandeau.
Back pic
Top- Free People
I’ve already worn this top a ton! It feels distinctly unique and summery.
Bra situation: I’ve worn my normal bra and just tied the back tighter so it wasn’t so open. I’ve also worn my bandeau bra with this top.
Top- Free People, Shorts- Alice + Olivia, Shoes- J.Crew
This top reminds me of all of my beloved Mexican tops, but the pale pink gives it a feminine twist. It’s so light and airy, so it won’t show the sweat rolling down my back! Winning!
Sizing: I’m wearing an xs.
Bra situation: I wore my normal bra with a bandeau over it. The front embroidered part is see through.Next time, I’ll just wear a nude color bandeau because it’s so airy, you cant really see what the girls are doing. Ha!
I’m taking a break from the blog and social media this week. My husband and I are headed on a trip while our boys are at camp. Wahoooooo! I hope you guys have a great first week of summer. I’ll see you on the flip side (what does that mean, anyway?).

Love this post and I love the “bra sitch” part. Very helpful. What brand of bandeau do you like? That is a new concept for me and I don’t know where to look for one. Thank you! 🙂

Thank you, Johanna! We had a really great trip!
Gloria says
Wow! That’s a fabulous look for women who want to keep things unique and very special! so many cool summer tops you show us! I like the pinafore crochet white top, and a lightweight white version with open back and long sleeves.
Hugs and Kisses,
