I pretty much fell in love with this New York Linen Tee (on sale) as soon as I saw it. There's something about a perfect lightweight drapey muscle tee that gets me every time. Now go ahead and add New York block lettering and I'm ready to throw elbows to ensure that I get my size. What I really like most about this tee is that you can wear it a million different ways...

I twisted the tee up in the back and wore it with my favorite maxi skirt (similar). It's a little bit longer in the front in the photos than I would like, but you get the point. This top is so versatile and I definitely plan on wearing it over long sleeves or with a blazer in the fall.

It was roughly 95 degrees outside when we took these photos, so that leaves two options. Hair up or throw on a hat. I opted to wear my favorite Double-Bow Fedora. Its been a great hat so far and has kept its shape even after being squished in my carry-on a few times. The sandals are everything. They are polished, comfortable, and go with everything in my closet. They are also on sale, so hurry if you like what you see.
