I don’t know if a single article of clothing was ever so “Carly.” Stripes with a grosgrain bow? Couldn’t ask for much more. I want to wear this every day.
A couple of notes about the shirt that I discovered only when I had it in my possession. First, like all Sezane pieces, I find the fit to be exceptional. It’s not too fitted or too boxy.
Online, it’s listed as “navy and ecru.” Inside my apartment, I was convinced it was black and ecru and it was not until I was outside in daylight that I could differentiate the blue. It’s a fairly dark navy, and even in the photos though you can tell it’s not black. (But I swear I couldn’t tell inside hah, hence my all black outfit.) With that said, the grosgrain ribbon for the bow is without question black. I kind of wish the stripes were black or the ribbon was navy, but I’ll use it as an excuse to mix my blacks and navys. (Which I may be convinced more often to do now.)
I mean. THAT BOW.
I’ve also been carrying this tote around a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Hoboken just banned plastic bags (!!!) and it’s been my go-to tote for everyday errands.
Sharing my phone case again because it’s my number one asked question right now on DMs!

I think that wearing clothes that are a good fit is the key to that effortless elegance! I still don’t own anything Sezane but I have my eye on a few pieces. -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
Such a super beautiful top!

I love wearing navy & black together. I feel so sleek in my navy & white striped sweater and black jeans. Love the bows on this outfit!
I have had my eye on this Sezane for a while!! It is so so cute, and omg that bow!!! 🙂 I love the way you have styled it! I also think it would look very cute with a skirt, and those cap toe pumps! Happy Tuesday, Carly!

LOVE this top! I just got a Cricut, and I think I’m going to try to make a phone case like yours!
Cannot go wrong with stripes!

I love that sweater. It might just be my computer screen, but that bow looks like a dark navy to me! I wear navy and black together all the time though, I think they look really chic together.
Is that just the light or are you full-on rocking those grays? Loving it either way!
I love this top! Also, I love the color of your hair! I, too, like to rock those gray strands. Keep being awesome. 🙂
Love this shirt! The stripes and bow are so perfect.
Just a question- how do you find the bows sit/stay if you wear a jacket?

It’s such a lovely top, Carly! I have a similar one from Claudie Pierlot with a bigger bow that I’ve worn for years and I still love it like the first day.
Wanna DIY that bow to my stripes top 😀 I like this style, I can’t wear fit clothes so this style is always my choice.
Carly,
I have been following your blog for several years now but have never posted. Thank you for creating inspirational and heart warming content that has kept me a faithful follower.
I wanted to mention that I love how you rock your hair-especially those few grey streaks! It makes you feel authentic, real, and bold. Since we are the same age, I appreciate that you acknowledge the transformation that comes with each passing year. I hope you continue to encourage each of us to embrace that the passage of time should invite more beauty, wisdom, and peace into our lives.

I would switch out the bow for a navy one since you’ve worn the shirt. Just like you that color difference would bother me.
