How to style a custom-made linen tank top. There are a handful of pieces that make up my core summer wardrobe (our summer is six months long, so maybe two hands-full 😊). Lightweight cotton skirts, trousers and tees, sandals, sunscreen, and a couple of tank tops are my usuals.
Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Link back to Not Dead Yet Style if you like – we’re on Easy Does It “rules” now!
I found this linen tank-with-some-attitude on Etsy (linking for love, I paid full price). The seller creates your clothing per your order, how groovy is that? The style tank I chose can be made shorter or longer, and comes in twenty-five (yes!) colors. Trust me to start with black, heh.
You saw these high-waist trousers just a couple of weeks ago; they are in my “favorites” rotation. The vintage 1970’s necklace (sim) is a gift from my friend Bryan, it was his late mom’s. He says she was a stylish woman, and I believe him!
Are you wearing your warm weather favorites? Show us in the link-up.

The shoulder and hem detail elevate that simple tank top to something special. I’ve always liked those striped trousers on you.
Thank you, shelley! I agree, a bit of detail can change up a very basic piece. Hope your week is going well, xox
Oh, my heavens to mergatroid, I love this outfit. The pants, the tank, the necklace! ::swoon:: I was just looking up patterns for tanks like the one you’re wearing. I may have to save myself the time and get it from the lady you found on Etsy! And then I need to find some great striped pants…and a fabulous necklace…. Can I copy you???
Hugs,

Love tank and necklace!! How do you keep your linen so wrinkle free? Do you steam it?
Hey Becky! Thanks for your kind words – I just spritz it with fabric softener and toss in the dryer for ten minutes. I don’t have an iron : > xox
I love the ties and ruffle of this tank top! Black suits you and looks great with these fun striped trousers! If only our summer was 6 months long, I’d be able to wear all my summer clothes. 🙂
