From the designer: When you live your life with confidence, you walk tall and stand with graceful ease. Springtime and Summer are typically my most confident months where I make a conscious effort to hold my head high and present myself in a graceful manner. Part of this exercise in confidence includes the wardrobe that I choose to wear. I love items that are stylish, bright, and fun. Because of this, I chose to include some of that fun and confident energy in this design. Have fun with your own Graceful Summer Top, make it fit your personality so that your confidence will shine in a graceful way.
