I featured this top awhile back in my 1 shirt 5 ways post with 5 looks for summer. Well, here is another one! This top is super lightweight and breezy. I love it with a black cami under it, though, and it looks great because the top is a high-low one, although you can't really tell in the pictures. I paired it with these medium wash wide leg jeans for something different, and a black and silver chain necklace.

Top: RueLaLa (exact below)

Top (clipped to polyvore.com)

I picked out this shirt this morning from RueLaLa with the $25 credit I had. Cute, right? I decided to plan out some different outfits I could make with it. I will say it again if you're not already using it- Polyvore is such a great tool! Whenever I buy purchases online, I'm able to just click the 'clip to polyvore' button on my toolbar and on it goes under my liked items there. I also keep it updated with the items I already own buy in stores by finding the exact pieces or look-alikes to also save under my liked items. Then I can create outfit sets whenever I want (or wherever I want on the iphone app). And the interface is great. This isn't a sponsored post in any way, by the way, I just love Polyvore!

Anyway, here are 5 outfits I created with this one top, and all of the items are the exact or based on pieces I own. Hopefully it can give you an idea of all the ways you can style a similar top!

For the first look, I wanted to have one with long pants, so I decided to use my mustard yellow pants. I also love pairing the navy and white striped scarf with the top for a cute nautical look, and the scarf looks great with the pants as well!

I love the idea of pairing this top with a long black skirt for an effortless chic vibe. I paired with very simple gold and black accessories to keep it more casual.

The third look is more of a fun summer look, pulling in different colors with the sandals and the anchor necklace. It's a cute summer casual look.

For the next look, I kept it all black and white. It's still casual, but on the dressier side.

Finally, I paired the top with blue shorts and sandals, and my steamboat wheel necklace that I wore in my last post. I think it looks great with blue as well.
