This is exactly what I want to wear to get back to business: up front, it's chic and meeting-worthy, while the back is open, sexy and party-ready! I'd wear it under a blazer during the day and bare it all, off-duty. Other like-minded statement tops I'd work come from , , , and

I love this top's floaty, Zimmermann-y spirit--and under $100 price tag!

's take on this season's puff sleeve blouse is extra stylish with its back scarf-tie. I'd wear it with everything from denim cut-offs to work-sharp trousers.

Let's start with the staple striped t-shirt: a short sleeve version looks fresher this summer, such as the one above by (on sale!). I also like these from , , and . Crisp white jeans always work, day and night, especially these flattering styles from , , and . A quilted Chanel bag and ballerina flats are timelessly chic.
