While a loose-fitting t-shirts can be styled up & worn casually all summer long, a smocked top in a flattering silhouette adds a feminine touch when heading out to a concert, beachfront walk at sunrise, or family picnic.

SHOP: Time & Tru sleeveless smocked top in 3 styles @Walmart ($13.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

I’d love to see these in-person, especially the tie-dye blue to pair with linen shorts, sneakers, & seashell earrings. How would you style this top? Which pattern do you like best?
