City Bloom Top

Inspired by a trip to Mexico City over Valentine’s Day, this versatile top truly has the love built in. A slight boatneck collar features a band of O’s, while cute X’s trail down the sides to the hem. It’s constructed top down with back shoulder shaping, joined at the arms and continued in the round to the hem. A cotton and linen blend yarn gives the top just enough drape to be breezy for warmer weather and comfortable under a light jacket. You’ll love it. Go on, wear your heart on your sleeveless!
