Good Morning readers and welcome to Day 11 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway. Have you ever seen such exquisite bead work because I haven’t?  This T Bags Los Angeles top looks more like eye candy than it does clothing.  Am I right?

The mix of the colorful embroidered beads and the crochet material is what really did me in.  I just love the way the two different textures contrast with each other.  It gives it that “Wow” factor and really draws people in.

I paired the top with some denim cutoffs, my studded wedges and minimal accessories for a fun casual look.  However, there are so many other ways to wear this top.  You can do an all white look with a pair of white jeans or shorts and you’ll have that little pop of color from the beads.  You can also wear it with a pair of dark flared denim and some heels for a dressier look.  As for accessories, you really don’t need much.  I would avoid wearing a necklace and excessive arm candy.  Instead, I would wear wrist jewelry that either blends with the white or that complements the beading.  You can also pull out a color in the bead work  by using jewelry like I did with my turquoise earrings.

Packing Tips: Packing a top like this can be tricky because of the two different materials.  It really needs to lay flat because you don’t want to put a crease in the beading.  I suggest laying it flat at the bottom of your suitcase and covering it with tissue paper to protect the embroidery and to prevent anything from snagging the crochet material.  You can also hang this top in your garment bag if you have one.
