I first shared this smocked floral top last month styled with a coordinating skirt, and mentioned how cute it looks paired with jeans or white bottoms! I just noticed that it’s fully stocked and on sale for nearly 70% off (after you add it to cart, the price drops to $25) so I wanted to share this easy, casual and feminine summer outfit. For an outing with lots of walking on the agenda, I’d swap in the flat Sam Edelman sandals I’ve been loving.
This top is also nursing-friendly since the smocking and elastic shoulders are easy to pull down. If you don’t need the support, this can also be worn without a bra due to the smocking and camouflaging print. FYI the shoulders have a voluminous puff – I personally love a strong shoulder detail, but just a heads up for those who don’t care for it. Express is also having a flash sale tonight only with many bottoms & jeans marked at $29 – you can filter by your size on the sidebar!
These Topshop jeans continue to be amongst my top 3 favorite pairs of jeans, especially when I want a relaxed vintage-inspired vibe. Based on the reviews, I did size up from my usual 24 and it’s a comfortable fit, but I probably could’ve done my regular size as well.
Compared to my Levi Wedgie jeans which I also wear quite a bit, I like that the Topshop ones have a zipper fly for ease and are more straight (instead of tapered) when I want contrast against a fitted top. And compared to the reader-favorite WHBM jeans, the WHBM are slimmer throughout the entire leg, have distressing, and are made of stretchy denim while the Topshop & Levi’s are made of more rigid denim.
Hi Dear! Hope you and your family are doing well please? You my favorite petite blogger with such a class! Please i have a baby shower to attend and im not sure whether to wear the express floral matching set or the farm rio pineapple blue romper with the casterner wedge? please advise!
Thanks so much!
I think the matching floral set would look great for an occasion like that!
Beautiful! I bought the set for a special occasion. Now I’m looking forward to pair the top with jeans! Love the versatility of the outfit and the accessible price. I also love that it can be used in different ways. Thank always for your amazing recommendations!
Blessings!
Thank you for your kind note, Maria! xx
Hi – love your style but could you please review some designer jeans? I am 4’11 and I have no desire to buy from Express or WHBM.
Hi, I’ve heard good things about Agolde Fen (not for petites, specifically), and I have DL1961 Intrascupt and Paige straight jeans but designer jeans rarely come in shorter length options like brands like Express & WHBM do. I find they don’t usually look the same after hemming, even if I pay to maintain the original hem.
