Shoulder-Baring Tops & Statement Earrings. The Must-Try for Spring.

I have been loving the off-the-shoulder/cold-shoulder trend lately, but haven’t really gotten to try itย out due to freezing temps and snow here in Michigan. ย Fortunately, we were just visiting my parents in Arizona where the temps are much nicer and I was able to rock my favorite combo: shoulder-baring tops and statementย earrings.

I’ve always loved statement earrings and Greenlea is finally at anย age where she won’t grab and pull at them. ย I especially like the way they pair so nicely with bare shoulders and cut-out tops. ย Here’s how I wore it:

Outfit #1: Cold-Shoulder Top & Cut-Offs

cold-shoulder-top-6

cold-shoulder-top-7

Wearing:

Floral Cold-Shoulder Topย (similar top with long sleeves, and this top has wider straps if you’re opposed to spaghetti straps!)

Denim Cut-Offsย (similar – I always buy about twoย sizes bigger than my normal size so they’re nice and slouchy!)

Mirrored Aviators

Earringsย (crazy cheap earrings that I keep going back to over and over again!)

Metallic Clutch

Sandals (similar, or these are flatย if you’re not into a heel!)

Tarte Matte Lip Tint inย Fiery (actually feels great on your lips)

Outfit #2: Off The Shoulder Top & Surf Pants

off-shoulder-top-8

Wearing:

Free People Off The Shoulder Top (now 25% off) Also available in a really pretty red color. *I ordered both an xs and a small and the small fit better . . . the xs was a little too tight in the belly.

Floral Surf Pants (similar)

Floral Earringsย (I bought these for a bridesmaid to wear back in 2012 and loved them so much I kept them! ย They are so versatile and haven’t tarnished a bit!)

Amrita Singh Banglesย (these are my absolute favorite bangles ever because you can choose your size . . . my wrists are small so most sets of bracelets fall right off but these are perfectly sized)

Sunniesย (similar)

Outfit #3: Cut-Out Top & Ankle Jeans

Wearing:

Cutout Shoulder Topย (super soft, under $20 and also available in black, light grey, dark grey or red)

Jeans (similar)

Earringsย (same pair I wore with previous outfit)

Aviators

Flip-Flopsย (these are my go-to sandals for summer . . . they come in a TON of colors, are actually comfy and are currently on sale for UNDER $15)

Diaper Bag (this bag has been a lifesaver while traveling . . . it has stroller straps to hang your bag for easy access and is made of wipeable nylon . . . LOVE.)

We are currently going through post-vacation withdrawal as we came back to a HUGE snowstorm on St. Patty’s Day . . .ย I can’t wait for SPRING to get here! ย In the meantime, here are some more tops and earrings that I’m lusting over:

XOXO,

    • I tried it and felt like it kind of looked weird . . . but I might be wrong! ๐Ÿ™‚ Let me know what you think when you get it!

  1. I love your style, Scotti! You are gorgeous! One thing that concerns me about wearying this style is bra straps! Do you have any advice for strapless? I feel like they never work for me- I’ve breastfed both of my kiddos and the ‘girls’ need a little more support. I haven’t fount a strapless that works. You pull this look off so flawlessly!

  2. What type of bra do you wear with these, strapless? Do you have a favorite brand that both stays in place well yet gives a smaller chest (me) some oomph?

    • Thanks! I’m thinking you could pull off wearing a wide strap cami (to hide bra straps) under some of these tops. But I hate adding layers when I don’t have to.
      But you looked so good in that free people top that I’m digging out my strapless frenemy to see if these F cups can handle it after two kids. I know, I know, it’s a long shot, but a girl can dream!

      • Actually, that’s why I liked the big floppy ruffle on top! It kind of disguises whatever you’ve got going on there . . . be it small or big or whatever! ๐Ÿ™‚

    • ok Julia..it sounds like you have some experience with these bandeau bras…can you offer advice on which you like the most? comfy? I know they can’t be supportive..but at least not flailing around ๐Ÿ™‚ xoxo thank you
