Happy Monday, ladies. Another week is underway, and it looks as if rain and more rain is in the forecast all week long. I shan’t complain as the grass and plants needed a drink from mother nature. I for one love a rainy day that helps me slow down and curl up with a good book. Today we are styling one halter top two ways, in regular and petite.
Today's feature is a halter top in petite and regular sizes

When these photos were snapped the sun was shining with temps in the low 80s. And the weather is one of the factors that influence my outfit choices. One of my favorite tops to slip into when the weather is warm is a halter top. This eyelet linen halter top from Ann Taylor is all sorts of summertime fun and can be tucked or untucked. It comes in Petite and Regular.

While I am loving my crochet handbag from Talbots I have to admit Kelly’s wicker handbag is All That! I’m a sucker for unique handbags and this one is not only distinctive but it’s perfect all summer long. Y’all know I always say accessories make or break an outfit and that includes handbags.

Recently, I discovered the jewelry brand Jenny Bird so I couldn’t resist adding this slim gold bangle to my jewelry collection. Wear it solo or stack it with other bracelets it’s the perfect size. Gold hoops from Banana Republic are the perfect match to the gold Gia bangle.
The thing I love about halter tops is bare shoulders! Bare shoulders have an almost-instant air-conditioning effect. This embroidered top can go casual or dressy with ease.

I chose to style this top with the Authentic Chino Pants from Banana Republic Factory. What an easy buy these pants are! I have worn these pants a number of times, they're a perfect pulled-together chino.

The Bembien Marfa Bag is a perennial favorite. It's been available for years and it's such a fun basket bag for summer. With a Bali-inspired design, I reach for it anytime I want to add an Indonesian tropical vibe to my outfit. J.Crew and Madewell carry Bembien's woven bags. They're worth the higher price point because they are well-made to last a lifetime.

Sunniest summer post yet! Orange needs its turn.
After the rains we need a backyard update- it’s looking good
I LOVE those shoes (orange charm), Beth! They are the bomb. And you both look stunning in your eyelet halter tops.
Love that you don’t shy away from showing your arms Beth! I’m 62 and find most women my age won’t go sleeveless. When it gets hot enough I say it’s all about comfort! You look great Beth. So please share what bra you wear with the halter top? I’ve never found one that is comfortable.
Hi, I find you Ladies just georgous !! I love the delicate orange color of this top, definitely suited for summer. I never miss a post and this since so many years… Thank you for being so faithful with your blog.
