Two weeks ago I was on a massive hunt for something to wear for our Christmas photos. I had ordered the girls’ dresses three months in advance, my husband had his outfit planned a week prior, but I was left searching up until the day before. I ended up choosing this dress, but in my three different trips to the mall, I also found this top that I am absolutely obsessed with.

The color is perfect for the holidays, the bell sleeves make it feel so feminine, and it is probably the first woven top I have purchased in the last two years. Sad, but let’s face it, with a baby that still occasionally spits up, wash and wear is a must. The best part is that it can easily be dressed up or down.

Top: Rebecca Minkoff, Denim: AG, Boots: Joie from last year, but linked similar here.

As a loyal Nordstrom customer – I mean, I did work there for 9 years – I still feel a little guilty over this purchase, but this top is just that good.
