My 10 Best Purchases: No. Eight

Oct 24, 2018

Sometimes, all you need is a really great t-shirt.  You know, the one that goes with anything.

I was so excited when I saw this Ann Taylor t-shirt was still on sale.  I bought mine last year, and I thought for sure that I’d be looking for something similar as a replacement.  But then, there it was.

This Shirttail Tunic ($29) is one of my favorite things.  I’m long-torsoed so finding a t-shirt that’s long enough is a challenge.  This tee is soft, comfortable, and has good opacity.  It also wears well.

Now that I know it’s on sale again, I plan to buy a few more.  You can never have too many of a good basic.

Plus-size?  This LOFT tee is similar.  If you’d like more options in this hemline, LOFT has several as does Lou & Grey.

    Please more for us long torso top needing people! I dont have a particularly long torso, but my bust makes regular length shirts super short!

    • Midwest Gal says:

      Yes! A whole blog post on how to dress when you have a long torso and best places to shop would be helpful. (There are so many places, like J. Crew, that I can’t even shop.)

      Haha, I don’t have a long torso or a big bust, but I have wide-ish hips and shorter shirts make them look wider. I think the lesson is, “the people need longer shirts!!!”

    • Annie says:

      Yes please to long torso resources! All I want in the world are longer length tops that cover the booty in leggings but don’t become Large Fabric Tents of Sadness.

    Belle, I love you (and this series!), but just FYI you also posted an item #7 yesterday 🙂 (no judgment!!!)

    Can I suggest that you also do a “best purchases” series for skincare/makeup to the extent that you weren’t planning on including those categories in this series? I am loving it!

    Love the shirt. The shirt tail detail is so pretty. Also long-torsoed here. Ironically, Ann Taylor clothing is often too short-waisted for me.

    I bought a navy one of these years ago on your recommendation and it is a workhorse in my wardrobe. These longer ones look great.

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

The Range: Spring Blouses for Work (or Zoom)

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
