(Fendi Pleat Detail Blouse, $920.00)
Pleats and ruffles instantly spell “girly,” but they can be bent to your whims. With jeans and ankle boots, this Fendi ultra-feminine top can be transported to another dimension, and so can any of your sweet shirts. From creative layering to unexpected details, your tops don’t need to make you the good girl– if you prefer to be something else for a change.
(Free People Embroidered Flowerbed Top, $118.00)
It’s All About the Silhouette
Torn shapes and cool graphic details can really jazz up a simple top. While light pinks, lavenders, and yellows can be sweet and innocent, indie embroidery and ethnic elements add an edge that beats out your basic puff-sleeve top. Consider delicately shaped tops with chunky, cool embroidery like this top from Free People, shown above.
Tip: Aim for accessories with a little attitude, like bangles and chunky necklaces to offset the girly vibe even further. No hardware is necessary here: even a thick turquoise necklace will do the trick.

Your Worn-out Jeans Get a New Life
New or old, you worn-put jeans will be happy when they’re put to the test against an unexpected backdrop of girly light colors. Slip on a top in coral or spring green, and then pair it with destroyed jeans from your very favorite brand.
Tip: Take you pick between heel types with these jeans—they’ll all work.
(Juicy Couture Splendor Crew Tee, $68; ASOS Epaulette Detail Shrug, $50.18)
Choosy Girl
Tone down your pastel pieces with a neutral top like a shrug or hoodie. If you need some balance in terms of shape, grab a slouchier piece that hangs a little more from your frame, like a knitted vest or waistcoat in a chunkier style. Grays and cocoas work great while we wait for things to heat up in the way of weather. This simple Epaulette Detail Shrug, shown above, has just the right edge to push your cute tees over the edge. Slouchy, soft, and gorgeous, this shrug is just the thing for pale pastels and cutie tees.

It’s Key
Your attitude plays into this look, and you’ve got choices on how you’re perceived,. If you prefer, you can rock a girlier look and surprise the crowd with your tough-as-nails exterior, or you can give your feminine look some edge and be as sweet as always. Either way, you’ll surprise—and that makes for a lasting impression.
