It may seem odd to wear a half sleeve top in the height of summer, but when it’s lacey, it’s airy and perfectly suited to keep you cool (though, in my case, I had to use a heating pad at my desk all day because of the office’s frigid A/C). Imagine how much money all companies could save if they turned the temperature up just two degrees in the summer?
Okay, back to the lace top. I haven’t worn this top in a long time but I was craving something light and feminine and it fit the bill.

What do you wear when you want a really feminine look for the office?
Super cute!
Wow, this is an awesome F21 find!! It looks great on you.
OMG I just love that top!Beautiful on you!
loving the lace top, I could wear lace everyday and not get tired.
My office is pretty cold too, though for me it just feels nice (but I'm 8.5 months pregnant). Everyone is wearing sweaters except for me
Very cute! I also find it odd the temp that businesses keep in the summer. I teach at University and it's always FREEZING in the labs and classrooms! It's not good for you to go from being super hot to super cold.
So ladylike! That top is gorgeous 🙂
I remember my mom had a similar purple skirt. This outfit reminds me her beauty and stylish outfits. Plus, love your lace top 🙂
Really love the contrast of the lady like lace and the style of a bright skirt. Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog and enjoy checking in on you everyday. Keep up the great work!
Can't believe that top is from F21! What a great find.
Loving this look!
I love how you're always so put together. Even your trips to workout look as though you're flawless. 🙂
I really enjoy reading your blog. I'm living vicariously through you as I'm pregnant and already have 2 kiddos and I honestly can't remember the last time I wore my hair down.
SO pretty!! I like how the top is scalloped along the bottom edge.
Pretty! Reminds me that I need to break out that top too again. I love how it hangs ever so slightly on top of the skirt!
wow that top is awesome. if you find other similar tops (didn't like the button up and not crazy about the black piping on the second one) could you please let us know. your blog is my fav bc your outfits are both fun and practical!! i now have four no. 2 skirts thank to your influence, haha!! love them all.
such a lovely bag 🙂

I love the top!
Soooo gorgeous! <3
Love that top!
I totally agree regarding the A/C in offices.. I have yet to work at an office that isn't freezing. Everyone at my office keeps a heater under their desk, it's crazniess and such a waste of energy and money.
Love the top and you are showing how versatile the J.Crew pencil skirts are!
love it super classy

I totally forgot about this lace top! I need to dig mine out of my closet 😉 Xo, tasha

I pick pink scrubs instead of blue 😉
Love the top! Was that a recent purchase (please say yes!) 🙂
LOVE this! Such a beautiful combination!
Hi V! wow, I am in love with that Lace top. Can't believe it's from forever 21! I think that last time I shopped there was when I was preggo because they have great cheap stretchy tops! Oh and I love the purple on you! Definitely flatters your skin tone!
ummmmm i love these two paired together! all of your pencil skirts are so gorgeous and i love that you wear them differently all the time
