I bought this asymmetrical top last Fall when Phillip Lim designed a small line for Target. Can we just stop for a moment and talk about how wonderful it is when high-fashion and interior designers create products for the everyman (or woman)? Honestly, as much as I might want to, I could never purchase one of the tops from his original line, usually priced somewhere between $250-$400, but the $25 one at Target? Absolutely. I love the asymmetrical nature of this top, the way it draws different lines across my body other than the typical horizontal one, separating top from bottom. In fact, in the warmer months, I wear this top so often, I kind of wish I had bought a second. It works with shorts and flat, strappy sandals just as easily as a pair of jeans and heels. So when our weather began warming up again this last week, of course, I pulled this favorite out again, an essential for every closet, in my opinion.

      Thank you, sweet Corina. Island living certainly has its perks–I suppose you get to go sleeveless all year long? ;)

      I bet! I try to limit my trips there (which simultaneously helps me limit my budget–hehe! ).
