These 3 Tops Earned a Spot in My Weekly Rotation—Here’s Why
To follow along most easily, please read my introductory blog “Because You Deserve the Truth” for an explanation of what I look for in my evaluations.
Finding shirts that I like, and wear repeatedly, feels like it should be a lot easier than it is. Yet when I look in my closet, there are certain tops that I grab at least once per week. These fit great, are comfortable, and make me happy to be dressed in them. Let me introduce three of my favorites!
For a dressier look, I love the double-layered chiffon blouse top. For starters, it’s easy and comfortable to wear, and looks much dressier than it feels. When I purchased it, I wasn’t convinced that it was going to work, and I really don’t dress up very often, so I rated it only an 8 in the value to price ratio. If you do get fancy or go to an office regularly, the value is definitely there. I did give it lesser grades than straight 10s, because I’m not sure how it will hold up. However, it’s doing pretty well, so you can probably trust it. Even though the overall grade is 87.5%, I do think that, for its’ use, it’s still a very solid investment!
Several years ago I purchased this t-shirt. I will tell you that I continue to be surprised at how often I wear it. T-shirts are historically big on top and tight on my hips, but not this one. The good people that designed it actually must have used real, larger-sized women as models, because it fits great. With the exception of it being a tad expensive for a t-shirt, this baby got straight 10s across the board. You won’t regret buying this.
I live in Tennessee, and while it gets cool in the winter, it’s not really cold enough to wear the sweaters I lived in when I was in New England. This popover hoodie felt like a splurge, but I love it! It’s warm and toasty, it’s super comfortable, it has a generous hood and thumb holders (what ARE those things called that lengthen your sleeve so it always stays down?), a big pouch pocket, and it’s nice and long. For those who workout it’s ideal. For those who sit in their office and write blogs (like me), it’s also pretty wonderful! I took a point off for a lot of seam threads that weren’t cut. I was pleasantly surprised that, even though I chose an off-white one and I tend to be a bit of a messy eater, any potential stains were simply removed with Oxiclean. This is a great mid-winter top or exercise top.
The scores are below. Wear them with happiness and good health!!
