Good Morning, Friends! I am SO excited about this post!! You guys always seem to be in the market for easy tops, but with a new season approaching they’ve been first on everyone’s list. Last weekend, a few of my sweetest mama friends were over and I was interrogating them on what they shopped for at the mall earlier in the day (I always LOVE knowing what people are genuinely seeking at the mall, because it always gives me content ideas that are usually relevant for most of you as well). One friend said that she was on the hunt for truly versatile tops. She works out and showers in the morning, then continues to work all day from home (shuffling kids to and from school during the day as well) and she was looking for pieces to throw in the morning that would last throughout her day….from bus stop to coffee shop, from grocery store to making dinner at home. She wanted all day comfort, with some cute details that separated these tops from her true t-shirts. I loved this because I think that this need also applies to so many of us! Even if you don’t work from home, these are your weekend tops that will go from errands to kids sports, and then to a casual lunch. These affordable and functional Spring Tops for Moms have just enough detail to make you feel pulled together, but are also uber soft and easy to wear. I’ve personally tried on or own all but two of them (see fit reviews below) and can attest to quality, comfort and versatility. I’m also showing you how truly easy they are to style…there are 9 pieces below that go back to each top and I’m betting you already have these or something similar in your closet.
P.S. There’s also a super easy giveaway at the end of this post! Would love to help jumpstart your Spring shopping as a THANK YOU for reading!
I’m also cracking up because I included two of the tops twice on this graphic. I am so sleep deprived after a month of moving and transitioning, all I can do is giggle about it at this point. Can you spot which two I liked so much that I included twice?
ONE /Ruffle Sleeve Top
This top is incredibly soft and the slouchy fit is comfortable and easy to wear. There’s a V back, but it still allows you to wear a regular bra. It comes in quite a few beautiful colors for Spring and is under $50. I suggest sizing down.
TWO / Ruffle Sleeve Button Up
I loved this lightweight cotton top so much that I bought it for myself. It’s perfect for you nursing mamas, too because the buttons are functional. It’s a cotton top, so breathable and easy to wash and wear, but the slight pin stripes and the ruffle sleeves totally set it apart.
THREE / Ruffle Back Tee
Soft, so cute and really easy to wear. The back is slightly longer and has a darling ruffle. TTS and comes in quite a few colors. Also, under $50!
FOUR / Button Front Striped Top
Alright, would you guess that this one is from Abercrombie???! There are 3 on here from AF and I am shocked at how impressed I was with their current styles, prices and fits! This is a little drop sleeve stripe top that’s easy to throw on and feel polished. The price is amazing too, definitely not the AF I wore in college. Size up in this one (wearing a S here but would have been more comfortable in a M).
FIVE / Peplum Tee
I’ve done a full post on this little guy HERE, but had to include it in this post because it’s such a cute staple. Throw it on with jeans or shorts and sandals, even add a necklace to take it up a notch. Comes in quite a few colors and a great price!
SIX / Roll Tab Top
Another top that I’ve spoken to several times now, but when I truly love it and wear it as often as I do this one, I think that it’s worth including. This has the BEST fit, feel and wearability. You could wear it in a darker color to work and also wear it as a stay at home mom chasing kiddos all day with denim shorts. It’s so flexible and an overall must have top. Comes in quite a few colors and is under $40.
SEVEN / Ruffle Sleeve Top (included twice)
EIGHT / Whisper Cotton Tank
I own this tank in 3 colors and it’s something that I reach for weekly. It has a flattering fit, showing off your shoulders and is just a cute alternative to throw on with the option of dressing it up a little with accessories!
NINE / Gingham Top
How adorable is this new top?? I’m dying for it! I can see myself throwing it on with white jeans or wearing it tucked in to denim shorts just like it’s styled above. A step up on your casual style, I never tire of a good gingham!
TEN / Button Front Stripe Top
Remember the versatile stripe front top that I did an entire post on HERE? It sold out SO fast, and has yet to come back in stock. I found this nearly identical dupe at AF and was shocked at how much I liked it and how similar the fit was. This one is a lightweight cotton and buttons all of the way down. You can either tie front or button and tuck front. I promise that this is one you’ll wear SO much!
ELEVEN / V Neck Tunic Tee
This one is brand new from one of our favorite brands and I just love the laid back look. Pair with a bralette and wear with your favorite denim shorts for a laid back look that you’ll love.
TWELVE / Ruffle Sleeve Tee
Another AF find that I was SO impressed with. The cotton is EXTRA soft and the buttons are completely functional for you nursing mamas. The ruffle sleeves are darling and this top will go back to so many of your Spring bottoms.
THIRTEEN / Button Front Stripe Top (added twice)
FOURTEEN / Asymmetrical Ruffle Top
I’ve already blogged about this little top HERE, but really can’t get over the price for the style. It comes in multiple colors and for $29 this little guy will get quite a bit of wear!
FIFTEEN / Stripe V Neck Tee
My absolute favorite tee shirt, hands down. It feels elevated, will last and is so easy to wash and wear.
Now to make this even easier for you guys…here are some staples that pair back to every single top above. Here’s how to really make them feel elevated, and it’s much easier than you think! A great hat, a staple bottom, easy and functional accessories, a functional bag and shoes that go with nearly anything….check, check, check!
ONE / TWO / THREE / FOUR / FIVE / SIX / SEVEN / EIGHT / NINE
In other exciting news…today starts TRIPLE points at Nordstrom, which means that for every dollar you spend you’re rewarded 3x the normal rate and that means you speed towards Nordstrom Notes!
The Shopbop sale also launched and they are offering an extra 25% off of already low sale prices, making most things up to 75% off! My favorite categories to hit up during this time of year are SWIM and DRESSES.
Last (but certainly NOT least), BaubleBar is offering SYS readers an exclusive 20% off code!!! Use code MALLORY20 at checkout and it’s valid now through 3/31 …only excluding fine jewelry, promotional items and gift cards! That’s a real treat for you guys! Here’s what I’ve had my eye on:

I’ve always loved peplum tops, but have stayed away because of my weight gain. But I do hope to get to where I want to be, to be comfortable wearing one!
Done! Love all of these shirts, so cute!
Done! Not a mom (yet) but love all of these options for easy work-to-play wear!
Done, I pinned and thanks!
For the pink ruffle Henley from Abercrombie- Is the shirt on the shorter side? Where does it fall? In your pic it doesn’t look short, but on the A&F website, it looks shorter.
It isn’t short on me and I’m 5’9. I truly loved the fit
