items I have very specific shirt and dress requirements and I'm not sorry about it. No midriff. No arm-clinging. No fabric that swallows me whole. Nothing so long it trips me up. And absolutely no more cotton tees that develop mysterious tiny holes after t...

So glad I bought this dress. It comes in petite sizing so I took a chance and it's so great. It is the perfect length, hitting just where my 3.5 in shorts would land on my thigh. It is roomy but not in an unflattering way. It's soo comfortable. I got...
Stripe Linen Blend Button Back Mini T-Shirt Dress
Another winner from Next. It also comes in petite sizing, so I got it in 2P. I love dresses that come in petite sizes, especially long dresses. This one fits and hits right at the ankle for me. It's the perfect length to show off a cute sandal. This ... and the scallop detail on the top is super cute.
Khaki Green Jersey Dress
This is a great Summer dress. It fit's well and it has pockets. Im 5'1" and the length is great, hit's at my lower calf. I got the chambray pink. It's a sweet dress.
100% European Linen Scoop Neck Midi Dress
Tank Tops
This tank caught my eye and I immediately wanted it. It reminded me of a 90's ringer tee. Not sure why…But, it fits great. It's snug without being tight and the lenght is perfect. It covers the midriff and stays put. Plus, its cotton. I got XS.
The '90s Shell Tank
Bought this for an event to wear with ecru cropped pants. I love it because it comes in petite and it fits me perfectly. It can go with jeans or with trousers. It's put together and on trend.
Navy Blue Stripe Linen Blend Waistcoat
These tanks are so affordable and so comfortable. They arent too cropped, they hit at the waist for me. Im 5'2" (116) and the xs fits well. I got the cream, brown, and black color. Update - I have the white and light blue too. ☺️
Snug Crop Tank Top
These tanks are so affordable and so comfortable. They arent too cropped, they hit at the waist for me. Im 5'2" and the xs fits well.
Snug Crop Tank Top
Another great find. This is a dupe for a Free People Tank top. I love a basic tee and tank top and this one is long enough and not revealing. It's a comfy fit. I got the size small in the light green color.
V Neck Tank Top
Short Sleeved Shirts
This shirt is super cute and love that it has the touch of lace peeking out. What makes it great is that it comes in XS and goes up, plus it comes in a variety of colors. Win.
Womens Lace Patchwork Top
This shirt is thick without being hot, and the style is super cute. It's a good length and the striped pattern isn't too much. I got the navy blue and the color and pattern goes with a lot of shades of denim and even khaki and white pants.
Striped Elbow-Sleeve Henley Tee - Madewell
This shirt! I wish I had more colors. The length is perfect, it hits right at my waist, and the quality is light but sturdy. It's so good. I have it in the faded black color.
Pointelle Notch Neck Tee | Madewell
This shirt so far has held up in the wash. No mysterious holes. It's 100% cotton. I have it in green and brown/white striped. It comes in a range of colors. Its not boxy but it is loose. I got my XS and it fit's loose but not long or baggy. it's perf...

The Perfect Crewneck Tee in Allday Jersey - Madewell
I have this shirt in 5 colors! It's a great “fitted” shirt that stays in place. The style stays current from year to year and you can dress it up with trousers and dress it down with denim and shorts. The sleeves are capped so it's great for warmer m...
Side-Cinch Muscle Tee | Madewell
This is a good “snug fit” shirt. It has stretch though which I like. It moves with you and doesn't feel restrictive. I have it in navy/white stripes.
Supima® Rib Tee | Madewell
This is a great warm weather shirt. I have it in two colors. Its roomy and not form fitting which is nice to let the breeze through on a hot day. The collar and split neck is a nice touch to make it look put together.
Relaxed Polo Tee | Madewell
This was a great addition! I took a chance on the color - something I would've worn without question in my 30's - but this mom took a chance and it's so good. It's a great fit, not too short, it sits right at my waist. I wear it with a nude bra becau...
Short-Sleeve Polo Sweater Tee
This shirt over delivered. It sold out! I am going to purchase the other two colors because it's so good. It's soft and high quality. It makes jeans or shorts look dressed up. I love it.
Organic Cotton Micro-Rib Button Tee
T-Shirts
Super cute baggy t-shirt to wear half tucked with jean shorts, prep it up with chinos, or over leggings. I got the Rhapsody In Blue t-shirt in XS and it's pretty long.
Graphic Tees
Another comfy, cute t-shirt for warm weather days. I love Abercrombie tees because they feel like high quality, and they're cotton.
Oversized France Graphic Tee
Long Sleeved Tees/Tops
Love this top! It's light and fitted without being restricting. The material is sturdy but has a light stretch. It stays in place and the button detail is nice for giving it an edge. It hits right at the waist, so you don't have to fuss with tucking ...
Rib Henley
This top is light and non fussy. It's not baggy or long. It fits just right. It's mom approved because it makes you look put together and stays out of the way. I have it in the light blue. It's great. I got the XS.
Pointelle-Knit Cardigan Top
I got this top in the heather coastal dune color. It's a plain top but not quite a base layer because of the cute button detail. It goes well with trousers and jeans, it's plain but also dressy. The quality is great too. It's thick and has a nice str...
Ribbed Button Crewneck Tee
Skirts
Ok, a skirt with pockets. And even better, it's a similar style to the one from Anthropologie. I am looking forward to wearing this. I bought it in Navy blue.
