Tunic Top: The Perfect Layering Piece

20

how-to-style-tunic-4

I found the best-fitting tunic ever.  It fits in the shoulders but isn’t too tight around my butt and hips, drapes nicely (which is a nicer way of saying it doesn’t cling to a pooch) AND I can throw it in the washer and dryer.  I mean, technically it says dry clean, but don’t worry, I’ve washed (and dried) it.  Best part? It’s under $50.  I’ve been wearing this shirt alllll the time and love it so much I bought it in a second color.   Here’s how I’m wearing it now and how I’ll be wearing it into the cooler weather.

Warm Days & Nights

Thrown over a basic slip dress like this one from Michael Stars (which also works great as a long tank over leggings in the winter), it becomes a great (unexpected?) option for warmer weather.  Add flat sandals and a diaper bag for daytime or heels and a fun clutch for nights.

Wearing:

Tunic

Slip Dress (local Marquette ladies, Che Bello sells a number of colors in this super comfortable dress cami!)

Sandals (sold out, but these are similar and adorable!)

Clutch (old, but this fringed bag is fun and perfect for fall!)

Bracelet

 

And Later in the Cooler Temps . . .

Take all of the essential fall layering pieces: over-the-knee boots, a blanket scarf, a (faux) fur vest, a colorful coat and mix as necessary!

First I just added the boots . . .

. . . then a blanket scarf . . .

(which doubled nicely as a cozy layer for baby G)

And topped it off with a faux fur vest . . . this is the softest one I’ve ever felt!

And finally, when it gets too cold to go without sleeves, opt for a coat in a fun color:

Coat (it’s on sale for less than $40.  Seriously.)

Diaper Bag (it’s also available in a tote if you’re no longer in need of a diaper bag!)

I can’t tell you how much I love this shirt.  I’m all about the “flowy” tops that have such a nice drape, because I’m still post partum.  (Oh wait, it’s been over a year . . . whatever, I’m still going to count it.)  After Zack took these photos (both times) we went and got something to eat and I stuffed myself silly (both times).  Not that I’m condoning stuffing yourself all the time, but it’s nice to know you can and your outfit won’t give you away.  Just saying.  🙂

XOXO,
