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.

  2. Pretty shirt and very versatile indeed! Though, do you handwash garments with jewel embellishments? I'm usually too lazy for that, so I tend to pass on such items. Heh.

    1. I do hand wash certain items or I use a product called Dryel. It is a great way to dry clean items in your dryer that aren't too soiled just to freshen them up a bit.
