I’ve been dying to try the off the shoulder trend, so today I’m excited to be partnering with Nordstrom to bring you a summery off the shoulder top I just picked up for my Florida trip.
This cute, pinstripe, off the shoulder top, is from Rag and Bone. (Similar here) Rag and Bone is a popular, modern brand carried by Nordstrom that was founded by two young Brits.
I was instantly attracted to the classic look of this top. I love the proper pinstripes and the tailored feel, mixed with the slightly edgy neckline. It’s British with an understated, downtown NY edge, exactly what the brand is known for!
This blue off the shoulder top has an easy, breezy feel to it. It’s very light and flowy, and the charming 3/4 length sleeves call out for a pretty bracelet.
I was surprised at how well this top sits on my shoulders. I didn’t have to keep tugging the neckline up or down. It stayed put, which gave me a lot of confidence. The smocking is also so lovely, and I like the way it sweetly frames my face.
I’m wearing my off the shoulder top with white cropped jeans, but it would also look great with regular jeans or a cute cotton summer skirt.
Since this top has a romantic quality to it, I decided to wear it with these feminine lace-up perforated sandals. They’re nude, so they blend in my jeans and elongate my legs, and the cutouts add a lot of style.
See the heel on these sandals?….Perfect! Not too high, but high enough. A sturdy and a comfy shoe.
How do you like this pebbled leather Tory Burch bag? It’s a crossbody that doubles as a clutch. The pretty shell color is so soft and beautiful with the blue and white theme.
I mentioned earlier how this top calls out for arm candy, so I’ve added two bracelets. The first is this gold Crisscross Cuff. It’s so fine and delicate like the pinstripes. The other bracelet is a little more new age. It’s made of symbolic, semi-precious stones that accent a gleaming hammered-metal bar. This Power Stone Bracelet is said to promote good vibes!
Long, lacy Kendra Scott Earrings are a nice way to draw attention to my off the shoulder neckline. Everything about this look is soft and heavenly.
It’s so refreshing to try a new look. This outfit is great for warmer weather and makes me feel pretty.
One last look. My off the shoulder outfit has such a calm, laid back feel. You can shop this top as well as my complete look at Nordstrom.

What kind of bra are you wearing with the off the shoulder top?
Hi Carol, I’m wearing this strapless bra by Wacoal. I find it very good:http://rstyle.me/n/ckr7d7b52f7
Hope that helps.
I remember seeing these kinds of shirts all last year and thinking that I just wouldn’t participate in this trend, Deborah!
But I finally found a strapless bra, so now I’m rethinking it!!
They are so cute—and even though I’m older—my shoulders still look okay!!
Thanks for this fabulous inspiration!
