On Lauren: Reformation Louisiana Top ($128)
When I find something I like, I kind of become obsessed with it. This mainly happens with food, but on the rare occasion that I find a trend versatile enough to wear multiple times without feeling like I'm constantly repeating outfits, you can guarantee I'm about to buy the lot. There's a cute summer-top trend going around, and—you guessed it—I've high-key fallen in love with it. The trend I speak of is puff-sleeve tops, and they're the outfit pick-me-up you didn't even know you needed.
This particular top style looks great with everything from jeans to midi skirts and back again, which is exactly why I will be wearing this trend for all 93 days of summer. Okay, maybe not all 93 days, but I'm considering it my official go-to cute top until the season's end. The fun thing about these puff-sleeve tops is that they come in many different variations, meaning there is one out there for everyone. Above (hi, it's me) is a photo of me wearing a smocked, cropped version.
I went ahead and shopped out my favorite iterations of the trend so you can start crushing on the adorable top right now. All you need is one of the below tops, your favorite jeans, and some strappy sandals, and you'll have yourself the most Instagrammable outfit to date. Happy shopping!
