Momshells, please get excited about the off the shoulder tops that are everywhere this season! I personally love them because I think that bare shoulders and back action is such a sexy, understated look for women.
Strapless looks have always been my fave but having two babies has definitely changed the way my boobs look in a push up bra, so, off the shoulder tops offer me an amazing alternative to totally strapless. The other plus is that some styles are very forgiving so, if you’re still working on losing baby weight especially around your mid-section [raises hand 2 years later], the loose fit will do a great job of helping you feel more confident.
The OTS look is super cute and incredibly versatile. Nordstrom.com has a great selection (I’m waiting on two styles that I ordered by Tibi & Topshop) and there are tons of other options and price points in the market. The one that I’m wearing here, I designed and had made for myself. There was some leftover fabric in my studio from a style that we cut for my children’s line and decided to design one while I wait for my online order to arrive. Random, I know!
I paired my top with super skinny jeans and heels. I’ve had the jeans for ages, but I shortened them and frayed the edges a little to make them feel fresher for spring. Pairing volume on top with something a little more fitted on the bottom is a great recipe for balance with this type of look.
OTS works for day or evening. I test drove the top on the playground with my girls and it was great. Of course I ended up changing out of the stilettos and into more comfortable wedges because I’m not totally psychotic and the slightly dressed down shoe went just as well with the whole look.
The bare shoulder is something that I’m crazy over so, don’t be surprised if you see this top and many others like it on serious repeat this summer!
xo, K
