I was hesitant to buy this top because sometimes color block patterns can look a bit overwhelming in person, but I am so glad I took the chance! The patchwork stripe design is artsy and unique without being too loud. The fabric feels like a high-quality linen blend that is incredibly breathable, making it absolutely perfect for those hot summer afternoons. I wore it to a casual weekend brunch and received at least four compliments from strangers. It washes well too, just hang it to dry!
