Weekend Open Thread: Madewell

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

Hunting for something to wear with loose, flowy pants that veers away from PJ territory? Someone (a reader here, if I'm remembering correctly) was just saying that she found that a denim shell is the best thing to wear with those pants because it adds a bit of structure while keeping it casual and fun. This Madewell top looks great, and is on a pretty great sale. I like that there are no buttons to gape or give that “peekaboo” effect that some of the vests do. I could also see the top being great with a maxi skirt.

The top was $98, but is now marked to $49 at Nordstrom, with lots of sizes left. There's a similar option in linen, also marked down (and whoa, Madewell has a TON of denim shells available right now!)

If you don't like the ruching here, there are a lot of similar pieces. I like these at Nordstrom: Favorite Daughter, Ted Baker, All in One, and Yumi, as well as these at Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, and Gap.
