FAVORITE FIND: The long and short of it

If you haven't heard, H&M will be coming out with a 20% off one item coupon soon (feel free to sign up here to receive it when it's released.)  H&M is one of the most length-friendly stores out there and that being so, if there's a 20% off deal, you're sure to find some hits.

The sometimes problem with long tops is that you tend to lose a waist, which is nice to have to give you a proportionate look.  I like the idea of layering this polka dot blue top over the long blouse (pictured directly underneath) to give you a waist and color.

Softly tailored tunic in a sheer silk blend with a dress shirt-style front with pin-tucks, ruffles, and pearly buttons. Narrow imitation leather belt and button-tab sleeves.

Can't ever go wrong with a basic button down shirt.  In fact, it may need to be a new basic.

Straight-cut blouse in gauzy cotton with long sleeves and shirred shoulders.

Long blazers are so rare - they're like finding a four leaf clover.  Here's a knit one in a soft pink.  Picture it over any of the following tops.
