After going roughly twenty-two years without wearing shorts, you may remember that I caved and bought some last summer. I am so happy I did!! I pulled them out again this year and have been wearing them a lot. It has just been way too hot for my trusty denim capris. (You can see some of my other shorts looks here.) Also, as the weather has heated up, I was finally able to don my one Lilly Pulitzer for Target clothing purchase.
This tank wasn't in any of the plus size clothing previews I saw for the Lilly collection for Target. I just happened upon it during the online launch while I was narrowing down what I actually wanted to purchase. It was a swing tank style, so I knew it would fit. I ordered the 3X, though I could have sized down one for a better fit in the bust.
That being said, this high-low hem jersey tank fits pretty well as is. My main issue with it is the length in the front. I wish it was just a little longer to cover my tummy a bit (and shorter in the back). To balance that issue, I found this lace bottom cami from Lane Bryant in a complimentary color. Some times I think it looks great and some times I feel so-so about it. I think the lace has to stay put in just the right amount.
The back upper portion of the top features a crochet lace panel. These features normally get covered up in my clothing because I prefer to wear shrugs. But I like the way the top looks by itself. I did add this dark blue shrug for coverage and appreciate the way it frames the bright pattern. I accessorized with my rose gold sandals and three different necklaces I picked up at a Charming Charlie sale. I just couldn't decide which necklace to wear, so I kept them all! One necklace is silver with turquoise beads, one is gold with starfish and pearls, and one is a gold chain with a bright colored and rhinestone koi fish.
Overall, it is a great warm weather outfit. I love the ease of the swing style of tops and really want to grab a few more. If you are looking for this particular item, check eBay and Poshmark.

I love the way you layered this top with the lace tank. It is a great way to add a little length where you want it. I got two pieces from the Lilly for Target line: a tank and jumpsuit. I finally just got a strapless bra so I can wear the spaghetti strap jumper without a jacket or cardigan, so I will be wearing that again soon. This heat has been miserable and anything I can wear that will help me stay cool, I am all for it!
