Sorry for the late post – I just got back from spending the past two days with my friends in Connecticut.

Here’s a cool top from a cool brand: the ‘Change Is Gonna Come‘ cotton-blend t-shirt from Sass & Bide.  This top follows the military trend with its embellished shoulder panels (which I love) in gold, black, and crystals.  Plus, there are vertical stripes throughout which is also a popular trend this season.  *In the photo are the designers Sass & Bide.

Keep the top looking cool and chic by wearing tight skinny jeans and black pumps with a simple black purse (preferably a clutch).  If you want to go edgy, try a pair of leather pants.  Don’t go wild with those accessories – I would just wear diamond or diamond-looking studs.  Let the top be the center of attention.

The top has a good fit and will work for both day and night: a major plus when making a purchase.  Check out this top for $150 on Netaporter.com
