Can you believe there’s a part 7 to this…?

Once more…I realized I had a lot of summer tops and decided to try to see how long I could go without rewearing (except for when traveling). Although summer is now officially over, we’re still in mid-August where these shirts are concerned.

The first six installments:

Installment 1
Installment 2
Installment 3
Installment 4
Installment 5
Installment 6

And now….drumroll please….installment 7!

days 74 and 75: long sleeveless orange/navy blue shirt; sleeveless flowered shirt

The blue/orange shirt is actually two layers. The blue has cutouts showing the orange shirt underneath. Also orange plasticky embellishments (the bigger circles) on top. The floral shirt was something my mother got for me when she was in England last year. The funny thing was I tried it on early this year…after I’d eaten my weight in cookies over the holidays..and I found it confining. Less cookies and a few 10 mile runs…when I wore it this time, it fit nicely and was comfy.

days 76 and 77: white eyelet sleeveless top; brown top with cutout neckline detail

The white top was given to me by a friend who it didn’t fit anymore (unfortunately, the flash bleaches it out..)…it worked out really well! The brown top is nice and soft, but requires a strapless bra because of the cutouts in the neckline (hard to see) which lets straps show.

days 78 and 79: black and white vertical stripe sleeveless top; black short sleeve top with “jeweled” neckline detail

Both these tops are very versatile!

days 79 and 80; black, white, and cobalt sleeveless crossover/faux wrap top; gray t-shirt with purple and spider web detail

I also own the black, white, and cobalt in a dress…

days 81 and 82; black and cream stripe short-sleeve top with drape neckline; button down turquoise shirt

I got the black and cream on my last trip to England in May. I am fairly certain the one on the right was bought using Kohl’s cash (Kohl’s cash is to blame for a lot of my tops [Kohl's is a store where they often run a promotion where you get 10 dollars in Kohl's cash for every 50 you spend...when done correctly, a little Kohl's cash goes far..]).

days 83 and 84: black button down sleeveless top: black short-sleeve top with gold floral pattern

I love how the black top has white buttons. I usually don’t wear a lot of gold, but I liked it in this top.

days 85 and 86; oversize white button down with red, orange, and yellow floral pattern; brown short sleeve sweater with orange/pink camisole

And there you have it. I can tell you that there will be one more installment of my summer in shirts…which I’ll probably do next week just to get it wrapped up. It’s definitely been fun.

Have you ever gotten more than one piece in the same pattern? Do you ever give clothing to or get clothing from friends as a result of it not working for you/her?
