Last month, when I wrote about my love of Great Barrington’s T.P. Saddleblanket, I had mentioned purchasing a Southwestern-inspired top during one of my recent stops while on my way back from lunch at the nearby Bistro Box. I’d been preparing to share some photos of it next month since I’ll be back in the desert again for my annual vacation to California/Nevada – but honestly it’s just so cute that I couldn’t resist showcasing it sooner!
This short-sleeved, knitted striped top is made out of 100% cotton and is so unbelievably soft and a little stretchy – but it’s also slightly thicker/heavier than your average top, almost like a lightweight sweater – which means it’s perfect for cooler Summer evenings and will likely be making more appearances in the early days of the Fall, too.
And I love how the blues, pinks and golden hues sewn throughout this one are very, very vibrant.
I wore this top during my recent outing to Bretton Woods, New Hampshire – which was perfect since it’s always a few degrees cooler up North! And while this one can be paired with a cute pair of jeans and flats for a casual look that’s great for any season, I wore some dark pink shorts and my usual pair of sneakers this time around since I was planning on hiking to nearby waterfall after a visit at the Mount Washington Hotel.
I’m excited to share more of my finds from T.P. Saddleblanket in future ‘OOTD’ posts since so many of them are great transitional pieces between the hotter/colder seasons.
I really love that store, if you can’t tell!
