This blouse/top is exactly what I was looking for in a summer top. I love the combination of black and white. It looks great with white, black, or red pants. The sleeves are pretty and the neckline is attractive, especially if you want to show a favorite necklace. I ordered a large, even though I usually take medium. The style seemed that it may be form fitting and it is. The large is perfect for my body. I’m 5’4” and weigh 152-154.

Merokeety Women’s Summer Ruffle Cap Sleeve Blouse $18.99

This is a lovely and lightweight shirt for the summer. The fabric is soft and good quality but light enough to let a breeze through. I love the square neckline and the flouncy sleeve. The sleeves are just long enough to not look like a tanktop and most likely be office friendly for warmer months (I’ll definitely be wearing it into the office).

It pairs nicely with either a skirt or just a pair of jeans and is easy to dress down or dress up. It’s a well made and versatile blouse to complement any wardrobe.
