Beyond Athleisure Wear

A simple sleeveless (petite) top with interesting, subtle texture and a great v-neckline. It says handwash, but I never handwash anything. I put it in a delicate laundry bag and wash it in cold water with the rest of my clothes and then hang it to dry.

Beautiful color with interesting detail at the bottom. Love the diagonal line that starts moving the eye up.

Pretty texture and a lovely color for someone who looks good in slightly more muted colors. Nicely fitted at the bust and down to the waist and then floats over the tummy and hips.

What a fun print for someone who likes something a bit different or loves polka dots.

Love the detail in the back on this top. A wonderful unexpected surprise in a gorgeous color that looks good on most people.

Pretty print (also comes in pink) and the high/low design looks great with skinny pants.

Easy, casual look with a fun design. Great with jeans as the model illustrates.

Yes, it will look great on a pear shape body as long as the amount of curve of the top fits the curve of your body (or can be tailored to do so) and that the waistline of the top hits at your waistline. If it hits below the top will look boxy on you.

With any of these items if you click on the photo it takes you to the website. Unfortunately, this particularly top is sold out.

So easy to wear and will look great with leggings or skinny pants. Perfect for travel because you can dress it up or down with accessories.

Pretty detail brings the focus up to her face.

This top comes in a lot of colors. Remember, if you don't like the sleeve length have them shortened to 3/4 or short sleeves -- such a easy alteration.

This top comes in several colors and is a slightly heavier cotton/poly blend. Nice scoop neck and 3/4 sleeves. Very wearable and easy to care for.

This line of clothing is designed specifically for comfort and wearability. It also comes in a pink paisley print.

Simple sleeveless top that follows your curves. It also comes in blue, black and white.

Love that this top is slightly fittedand has a pretty texture/pattern. This color is the most versatile although it also comes in a muted purple and a color called 'fog' which is muted brown/sage green.

Great color! A simple sweatshirt-style top that can be dressed up slightly with a pretty scarf or jewelry.

This is just a fun top.

I haven't tried these, but they sound great and can take the idea of yoga pants into the office! Her pants are a bit too short, however, so be sure to wear them longer. The pant also comes in straight leg, cropped and a legging.

This is actually a deep navy ponte legging. Super comfortable and also comes in black and a very dark brown.

This is a charcoal ponte trouser (worn too short - be sure yours are longer). Also comes in black and dark brown.

Eileen Fisher plus size fitted ponte pants. Great comfort with a sleek style.

Another example of ponte pants (although the model is wearing them too short).

Ponte legging jeans.

Another ponte legging.

A bootcut yoga pant -- that also is a 'butt booster' -- supposedly gives your butt more support.

Incredible price on these leggings and they come in a number of colors.

These yoga pants come in sizes xxs to plus sizes as well as tall and petite!! And other colors -- navy and gray.

These yoga pants are not leggings and they are not bootcut -- more like a slim straight leg. This style isn't always easy to find, but I have a similar pair and really like them.

These are one of my favorite cotton leggings that come in 5 colors (I have black, brown and navy).

Let's look at ways to accessorize this simple casual top. You could almost wear this top every day with a different accessory and it would look completely different!

Beautiful hand-painted cotton scarf. Perfect deeper tone of periwinkle for this top.

I'm not sure. Unfortunately, the system doesn't tell me who is talking -- can you tell me who this is or send me an email?

What a fun, whimsical scarf with the dragonflies. Would look great also with navy or teal and maybe with pink/peach -- depending on the shade.

A simple white linen scarf would add texture and keep your neck warm if the day turns cooler.

This scarf would also go with navy, teal, fuchsia or white. Even black.

If you like something a bit more bohemian, this scarf is great.

This is a really pretty scarf. Although it could be a bit overwhelming on some people.

This scarf has so many colors in it that it could be very versatile in your wardrobe.

A casual style earring with a bit of drama in the length.

Such a pretty earring with great movement in it. It would look fabulous on the model wearing the periwinkle top because it moves like the waves in her hair.

A simple textured earring with shine. Will look good on anyone who can wear silver.

This versatile earring will go with a lot and has a touch of sparkle.

So pretty for someone who wants a more delicate earring and one with color.

This one has a whimsical, feminine, romantic feel to it and will add that feeling to the outfit.

Adds an artsy or funky feel to the look.

A fun long pair of earrings with a little shimmer.

Simple elegance and delicate. Such a pretty statement with the top.

A simple silver earring that will go with nearly everything.

A little more texture -- will look best on someone with darker hair.

This is a great earring that can be worn with lots of outfits to add some fun, beauty and movement.

A slightly more dramatic bohemian style.

Unless wearing a strapless bra is commonplace (and comfortable) for you, as fun as this top is, I would skip this one.

Really? There is nothing redeeming about this outfit for anyone!

Resist the temptation to buy oversized, shapeless, messy looking tops like this -- even in pretty colors.

A really cool teenager or funky 20-something can pull these off. They will make most of the rest of us look either frumpy or dorky.

Wear these to bed or workout only. They are about as unflattering as you can get.
