I blame Facebook for my recent pursuit of a smocked top. I saw a really cute one come through in an ad, but by the time I clicked it – the top was sold out. So, I went on the hunt for something similar, a peplum style with pretty fall colors. I eventually found just what I was looking for from Pink Lily.
I originally pictured wearing this smocked top with skinny jeans, but also flare jeans, which I hope to find soon! But, when I started to play around with outfits, I saw the versatility of the top and how it can easily be worn now and into the fall.
Five Ways to Wear a Smocked Top
With Shorts
I’ll start off with an outfit you can wear right now. Simple distressed denim shorts and a pair of wedges! I’m wearing a size small in the top for size reference. What you can’t see from the photos and IGtv style session is the tie back, and the metallic details on the shirt.

With Jeans and Mules
I love to wear mules in the fall. So, when I found this cute pair during the Nordstrom sale, I snatched them up! The muted pink color compliments the print of the top well and gives another little pop of color.

With White Jeans and Booties
You can wear this top with jeans now, but the booties will have to wait. Still, it makes me excited about bootie season to see how cute this top is with them! My exact jeans are sold out, but American Eagle x-short white jeggings which I’ll link below, will give nearly the same length, great for booties!

With White Shorts
Bringing it back to the high temps we’re still having with a pair of white shorts. The denim jacket tones the top down just a bit to look great with my travel sandals!

With Black Denim
Finally, an outfit you may remember from my black denim at work post. I’m sharing here as well because it’s another way to wear this smocked top. You could even wear distressed black denim with this outfit to make it more casual.

I have a new found love for this style and will be adding more of it to my closet this fall.
