Beaded Yoke Charmeuse Cap Sleeve Top by ingwa; melero
Yet another great shirt from ingwa; melero, this time the Beaded Yoke Charmeuse Cap Sleeve Top. This blouse is made of silk, has a deep V-neck, and ruching at the bust. There is a single pleat at the center, the sleeves are slightly puffed, and they have elastic banding at the ends of the short sleeves. The best part is the elaborate silver beading right below the bust. It's so shiny, it looks like it's made out of diamonds, like a huge ring or bracelet going around your chest. Besides Emerald, this shirt also comes in Plum, Black, and Chocolate.

Beaded Ancient Paisley Top by Cynthia Steffe
Here's something a little different, either you love it or hate it. The Shirt Snob loves it though. The Beaded Ancient Paisley Top designed by Cynthia Steffe. This top has velvet paisley print, vintage velveteen ribbon on the V-neck, and a front cotton insert. There is also a paisley ribbon on the waist, lace peeking out below the loose fitting bottom, and a silk insert. This top is very beautiful, but it's also very busy, so not just anyone could pull it off. We love the print as well as the use of velvet and velveteen. This top seems so soft and so much fun to wear, and you definitely would stand out in it!

Top with Camisole by Rebecca Taylor
The Shirt Snob really has a thing for Rebecca Taylor right now. All of her designs seem to have a timeless appeal to them, as if we could still be wearing many of her pieces five years from now. This next shirt certainly feels that way. The Top with Camisole in Parfait is 100% sheer silk with ruffles at the shoulders and ruching at the bust. There is some elastic smocking in the back to give the top shape, and a camisole comes with it to wear underneath. This blouse is a beautiful yet subtle blouse that one could wear at almost any time with almost anything.

Button Down, Green Circle by Alice + Olivia
The Shirt Snob just cannot get enough of cool prints lately. Here is another one that we know you will long for just as much as we do. Made by Alice + Olivia, this Button Down, Green Circle Blouse is just what we want to be wearing this coming fall. This stretch blouse has long sleeves, three inch cuffs and a collar, six snaps in the front and two more at the cuffs, and is has darted at sides and back for shape. Normally, we are not the biggest fans of button down shirts, they are usually rather boring and not worth our time writing about them. But this one is just so much fun! This blouse you could either wear it into the office or dress down and wear on a weekend.

Empire Tie Back Blouse by Corey Lynn Calter
It seems that lately the Shirt Snob has really liked empire waists. Maybe it has something to do with her wishing she was pregnant and liking shirts she could wear for the first few months. Empire waists are flattering everyone though, not just people carrying a little extra weight. The Empire Tie Back Blouse by Corey Lynn Calter is one of our favorite empire waist shirts we've seen. The bright yellow color with the polka dots would work great on someone with a fun and perky personality. This top is short sleeved with a V-neck and a tie in the back. Corey Lynn Calter is very popular with the stars, she was even in June 2005's issue of Teen People on Alexis Bledel from Gilmore Girls.
