Versatile Tilda

The Tilda shirt from J. Crew is so grand, she deserves an epithet in front of her name. I selected versatile because you can wear this shirt with just about anything. I like to buy pieces that will work in many situations and Tilda certainly fits the bill. This summer I hope to wear her with shorts for a more polished casual ensemble. In winter, I'll throw a crew neck sweater over Tilda to add a little bedazzlement to a plain sweater. Here I am wearing the versatile tilda with the J. Crew collection Flame Floral Jacquard skirt, suprisingly still available here and on sale at Net-A-Porter. (I seriously need to check out Net-A-Porter more often for J. Crew as they have some styles which I thought were sold out on sale.)

In terms of sizing, I ordered Tilda in size 0, which seems to fit fine. I'm usually between a 0 and 2 in J. Crew shirts and blouses, but I wanted a more fitted look. Some reviews said it was a little boxy, so I think sizing down was the correct choice, even though there is just a tad bit of "gaping" going on.

While getting dressed this morning my husband said, "You have plenty of blue shirts why don't you just wear that and a necklace?" I guess that is a valid point, however there is just something special about Tilda, versatile Tilda.
