Special guest star (who was super enthralled with a stick)!

Piko tops are a great thing to have in your arsenal. They’re drapey…Ha, I was going to keep listing things, but really, that’s all we need!

But you know I’m going to want to wear my top more than one way. Which is why I wanted to share how I style my Piko.

Let’s start with how I accessorize it…

I definitely like to showcase a necklace on a top like this because it gives you such great real estate. Anything dainty would kind of get lost in all the shirt. A statement necklace or a great long one layered into a choker like this one are my favorite two options.

Now let’s talk about how we’re actually wearing it…

Any time a top has a wide neck you know what I do? I pull it down to show off my shoulder. It gives the top a whole new look! And honestly the biggest thing I don’t like about these tops is how wide their neck is (hello, bra straps!) so take full advantage of that and wear it off your shoulder.

Next… Knot it! No, we’re not playing a game of tag #seewhatididTHERE?

Because these tops are so voluminous, you can knot the front and give it, yet again, a whole new look! And don’t worry, I have a trick for keeping the knot in place. These guys – the tiny clear hair ties normally used for little girls hair can also be used to keep your knot in place and no one would be the wiser.

Both the Piko and the necklace came from Fiore Boutique in West Town Mall! They are my Piko dealer. Love. Them.

These two looks with the vest, are my favorite (shhh, don’t tell the looks from the other day).

I absolutely love Piko tops, so to be able to wear it a little differently layered under this vest makes me happy. It especially makes me happy Monday morning getting ready for work when I want to stay in bed in my pj’s. This Piko look is one giant plate of waffles and TV remote away from that kind of comfort.

On the show this week I gave some tips on how to really have an efficient closet. Efficient both money-wise and getting-out-the-door-wise (which isn’t a grammatical thing, but you get it).

Watch the quick segment to see how to best shop for great deals and get good use out of what you own!

POCKETS!!!!

What is it about those two little spaces that gets us {me} so excited?

I walked around in this tunic for almost a full day until I realized it had pockets. And when I discovered them, you would have thought I had just tripped over a $20. Haha!

I can’t think of a tunic combo I want to live in more than a Piko with Pockets. It’s comfortable, it’s flattering, IT’S GOT POCKETS.

On cold mornings like we’ve been having, 100% of the time I crave a tunic. Because tights are always more comfortable (and warmer) than jeans and most pants. You can pair it with a scarf or throw a big cozy long sweater over it.

Basically it makes you feel like you’re still in pajama’s without looking crazy. I’m all for that.

The best place I’ve found to pick up Piko’s is at Fiore Boutique in West Town Mall. Across from Charming Charlies.

They have a great selection of styles and colors and run sales (which they announce on Instagram). In fact, I saw an Instagram post about this Piko tunic (which had gone on sale for just $20) and literally packed up what I was doing and headed to the mall.

So let me try something nerdy…

Piko pockets promote proper professional performance.

Ha! I warned you it was nerdy ;)

Here, if you’re craving more piko looks, see how I took this one from a day to night look…

Mid-Summer Shopping List

Someone asked me the other day what my favorite part of summer is. I responded…counting down to fall.

So maybe I don’t enjoy the extreme heat, bugs and humidity like some do (I painted such a beautiful picture, didn’t I ;) I do enjoy the easy style offerings that come with lazy nights outside, wiping off the watermelon from my chin and feeling weightless as I float in the pool.

Let’s squeeze out all the fun wearing any (or all!) of these picks, which can be found in the beautifully air-conditioned West Town Mall!

1. My love affair with gold could be fleeting, so I’ll pick up this wallet-friendly, yet still glamorous gold watch from Charming Charlie.

2. GAP workout clothes are fan…tastic – all the wicking and support and cuteness without all the cash dropping.

3. I love everything about this dress (and I’m pretty sure it has pockets!), find it at The Limited.

4. I need more pattern in my closet, but until I find something as beautiful as stripes or leopard print, I’ll go with a great textured top from Ann Taylor.

5. A beautiful cover up for your bum and you don’t even have to tie it! Just slip it on and walk the beachy cat walk :)

6. Wearing my hair up without studs in my ear is breaking a fashion commandment. And the color of these beauties from Francesca’s will go with everything.

7. Ever since we moved into our house, I’ve been buying pillows like they are jugs of milk. Pottery Barn and their fantastic sale is feeding my addiction.

8. Simple black wedges are so important to rounding out your summer looks! Thank you, Charlotte Russe!

9. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE (Dillard’s).

10. After I had Jackson, I passed a pregnant girl wearing jeans like these and I slapped myself in the forehead. They are the perfect during-and-post pregnancy jeans because they have the elastic waist!

11. What’s better than a Piko top from Fiore in the summer? A sleeveless Piko dress from Fiore! (or tunic because really, these things are short for those of us with long legs).

A Piko Tunic from Day to Night

At this point in time, if I had to guess at what we would all be wearing in the year 3000, it wouldn’t be the silver body suits. No, no, I’m certain we’ll all be ensconced in Piko’s.

The soft, drapey fabric and forgiving shape are everything you ever wanted in a top, which is why I like to dress mine up in so many different ways.

Start your Piko day off by wearing it with comfortable flats and a lighter/spring scarf, then transition it for night time events with high-heeled boots and a sparkly necklace. What I like about this change is that it’s quick and wouldn’t require me to juggle a change of clothes in a public bathroom. *Cue the Jimmy Falon “Ew”

Side note about these boots: I bought these at an Aldo in Indianapolis back when I was in college. After I purchased them I had .75 cents left in my bank account. #totallyworthit

And maybe you don’t need to transition from day to night, maybe you need to keep a cute scarf around for when your 7 month-old decides he was only renting the avocado you fed him at lunch. Or maybe your office is freezing and you need a quick alternative to crawling inside your foot heater. Either way, these tops make it easy to accessorize and look put together.

Pick yours up at Fiore in West Town Mall (they have short sleeve Piko Tunics as well).
