Double Take

The other day I was browsing through some clothes online at Polyvore just trying to get some ideas for some cute outfits and I saw this Mint green 2-in-1 top from debenhams.com and I fell in love with it. I love the color, the shape of the sleeves on the cardigan, and the way you can tie it in the front. I think this top is cute and feminine and that it could be dressed up or down depending on your mood or on the occasion.

I like the ultra feminine and delicate look of this dressed up outfit. If you are looking to add length to your body or legs a skirt on the shorter side and heels can help. I am also a huge fan of the chunky jewelry that I have paired this outfit with. I know this bag is more expensive than I would like but it is so cute and matches the outfit so well that I had to include it!

Look 2: Dressed Down

This dressy top can be used to jazz up your jeans to a more feminine look. This look is more casual and relaxed with jeans and less jewelry. Flats instead of heels give this more of a dressed down feeling, but doesn't go all the way to casual like tennis shoes would.
I love that this top could pull double duty in your closet depending on how you want to dress it up or down. Which way do you like this top best?
