10 outfits: Spring Tops for work or play

It’s that time of year where some of us have 80 degree weather and other are shoveling SNOW! Spring is so crazy but what’s not crazy is the need for cute tops that can be worn now and into summer. For years my go-to for a cute top is Gibsonlook and this spring they have so many cute NEW ARRIVALS.

Before I get started I always like to mention a few stats because I know that online shopping can be a TRICKY. I’m 5’5 wear a 10/M top but as a 36DD if something runs tight across the chest I will have to size up to a L. If in doubt size down in most of these top styles. In bottoms I’m a pretty solid size 12 so I mostly wear a L.

Rouched Elbow Sleeve V-Neck Top | KUT from the Kloth High Rise Short | Studded Sandals (more sizes in tan) | Star Necklace

Fit Tips: Top size down if in-between, M // Shorts tts, 12 // Sandals size up 1/2

I love these Gibson tops that are cute but breathable and lightweight. This Rouched Elbow Sleeve Top has bit of crepe/ rayon texture to it and a great drapey fit. It’s long enough to wear untucked or tucked with shorts or work pants. I’m in a medium so for sure size down if in-between.

These shorts need a moment of their own!! I have been a huge fan of the KUT from the Kloth Gidget short but the only downside is it’s on the lower rise side so when I saw this distressed style with “high rise” I thought I would check them out. They are that PERFECT high rise at 10 1/4 rise where it hits right below my belly button and does not squeeze into my waist. These have a 4″ inseam which I love and let’s just say they are in the first 5 pictures for a reason, I didn’t want to take them off!!

Blouson Sleeve Pin Dot Blouse | KUT from the Kloth High Rise Short | Studded Sandals (more sizes in tan) | Earrings

Fit Tips: Top size down if in-between, in a L for chest room // Shorts tts, 12 // Sandals size up 1/2

Perfect for work or weekend this blouson sleeve pin dot top is lined and love this new spring coral color. I’m in a large for chest room since the medium was pretty tight across the chest area in the black color I got in early spring. See the black floral styled for work in this post.

Also quick reminder these flower earrings are in the rose color and are adorable for spring, I’ve been wearing mine a ton! They are not too heavy and also come in 10 colors for great matching options.

Eyelet Puff Sleeve Tee | KUT from the Kloth High Rise Short | Studded Sandals (more sizes in tan)

Fit Tips: Top size down if in-between, M // Shorts tts, 12 // Sandals size up 1/2

Another new style is this stretchy eyelet puff sleeve tee. This is also lined but with a great stretchy, soft jersey material making the tee completely opaque and adorable. I love this sage green color for spring but comes also in a neutral black color.

Puff Sleeve Soft Tee | KUT from the Kloth High Rise Short | Slide Sandals

Fit Tips: Top size down if in-between, M // Shorts tts, 12 // Sandals tts

In the spring I’m always on the hunt for a cute navy/ white stripe top and this one is just a notch above with the ruched sleeves and small puff shoulder. This material is a stretchy, soft jersey so if you want more flow to it then I would size up. I prefer this more fitted look so I’m in a medium. Again pair this with a great work pant like the new Spanx cropped flare and you have chic work look.

Ruffle Trim V-Neck Tank | KUT from the Kloth High Rise Short | Star Necklace | Havaianas Slim Flip Flops

Fit Tips: Top size down if in-between, M // Shorts tts, 12 // Flip Flops tts

Ok blogger fail! I thought I had a pic of this top to show the tank (sleeveless) but I don’t so don’t miss my try-on videos on my Instagram profile so you can see how awesome this top really is. This is a cotton/ modal more typical t-shirt feel with a wide shoulder so that you can wear a standard bra with this tank. It’s slightly sheer but with a nude bra does fine, you can kind see my shorts through the fabric.

I love this paired with some of my favorite flip flops and this Tory Burch star necklace. I wear this necklace a TON in the summer since it’s pretty and lightweight.

Blouson Sleeve V-neck Blouse | Spanx Perfect Pant | Pumps | Arrow Necklace

Fit Tips: Top size down if in-between, M // Spanx pants size up for petite sizing, XLP // Pumps tts

This style top I loved so much I grabbed 3 prints/ colors in both medium and large. In the pink I am in a medium, I liked the fit of this size best because I had enough chest room while the v-neck was not too low. It still has great flowy room in the belly and small puff at the shoulder.

For a classic work look I grabbed my trusty Spanx perfect pant. I will mention that Spanx pants are a thicker more slimming fabric than any other pull-on work style I own. They run long so I have to get the petite sizing for length which also makes the pants smaller so I then size up to an XL. If I did not need the petite I think I would be fine in the large.

Blouson Sleeve V-neck Blouse | White Jeans | Wedges

Fit Tips: Top size down if in-between, in a L but prefer M // Jeans *corrected these are SPANX XLP // // wedges tts

This is the same blouse in an adorable leopard print and size large. When I went up in size the v-neck is lower BUT it also has a more blousy feel which made it easy to tuck into work pants. See it paired with the Spanx Stretch Twill Cropped Pant and my 3rd print of this top!

Flutter Sleeve Top | White Jeans | bracelets | Miller sandals | Knot Earrings

Fit Tips: Top size down if in-between, in a L but prefer M // Jeans **corrected these are SPANX XLP // miller sandals in makeup size up 1/2

I’ve been looking to expand my colors and when I saw this new flutter sleeve blouse in orange and yellow I thought that’s perfect! I love the ruffle necklace and easy flutter sleeve. For reference this top is not lined but has that flowy crepe material.

Twisted Sleeve Pin Dot Top | Trouser Pants | Pumps | Gold Twisted Cobra Bracelet

Fit Tips: Top tts in a M but could have used L for chest room // Trouser pants run small in a 12 but they are tight! // pumps tts

This next new arrival is such a fun top and honestly out of the bunch it’s one of the few that I felt that I might have needed to go up to a large in. Luckily its in a stretchy knit that has some give but it was still pulling a bit. The show stopper though is the twist and puff sleeve making it perfect to pair with some work pants. This comes in rose as well as ivory.

Fit Tips: Top size down if in-between, M // Spanx pants size up for petite XLP // pumps tts

I am so happy to see this Notch Neck Cap Sleeve Top back!! It has been one of my all time Gibsonlook favorites for it’s longer length, cap sleeve and tons of colors!! I’m in a medium so size down if in-between.

Trim Surplice Wrap Top | wit & wisdom bootcut jeans (I’m in an older color) | wedges | bracelets

Fit Tips: Top size up if in-between for larger chest, L // bootcut jeans size down, 10 // wedges tts

Feeling the boho vibes with this linen blend wrap front blouse with ladder trim. It’s a true wrap style but has a snap at the front to keep it secure and great for nursing mamas. Unfortunately this exact wash of bootcut jeans is sold out but Wit & Wisdom has an updated darker wash that is worth grabbing!
