S/S Organza Top by Rebecca Taylor
At first glance, the Shirt Snob thought nothing of this next top. But after looking at it more closely, we've come to realize how great it would be to have something like this in your closet. The S/S Organza Top by Rebecca Taylor is a great way to dress up a simple camisole or tank top in one quick step. Made of 100% silk, it has pleated ruffles going down the front, at the neck, and at the short sleeves, iridescent disk buttons down the front, and pintucking at the back. And we really like the dark blue color. It's not too wild but a nice change from black.
Banded Olympia Top by Daryl K
The Banded Olympia Top by Daryl K is definitely a fun one. This cotton blouse has one inch banding and the neck and above the bust with ruching at the bust, shoulders, and back. It has short sleeves and elastic banding at the cuffs. We really love the color. If you want to stand out amongst everyone else, this is a great top to wear. It's also available in black and paramount white.

Sweetheat Blouse by Grey Ant
Happy New Year readers! We hope you all have a safe and fun holiday and the upcoming year brings you joy and prosperity. The Shirt Snob is excited with all that the upcoming year brings. Let's start things off right with a cute top by Grey Ant, the Sweetheart Blouse. This top has a fishnet pattern on the thin mauve cotton, a sweetheart neckline, sleeves that end just after the elbow, raw edges, contrasting rib cotton at the shoulders, and five buttons up the front. It looks like a modern take on a 50s housewife to us. Best part is it's gone on sale since we first discovered it right before the holidays!

Vintage Lace Cardigan by Sweetees
Here's a very pretty one, the Vintage Lace Cardigan by Sweetees, a designer we don't write enough about. This blouse is 100% silk, is fully lined with modal, has poufed cap sleeves, a tie at the waist, V-neck, lace at the neck, and a swingy bottom. The flower print on top makes this top look rather regal.
