We’re ending the year with one of my favorite #MyGoodwillFinds to date! This item was found at our Rockville location on a rack with items waiting to be put on the floor.
I’m always a sucker for black lace, so when this gem caught my eye, I knew I had to pick it up!
And when I picked it up, I was pleasantly surprised to see this is by one of my favorite contemporary premium brands called Elizabeth & James. This brand is the brainchild of the Olsen twins and is one of their more luxurious lines sold at places like Bloomgindale’s and Nordstrom among other big names.
I looked this top up on Google and was SO ecstatic to see it retails for upwards of $500! Check it out here.
It’s a size medium black lace top that’s sure to look great with any fancy or casual outfit. It has beautiful wide and chic boho bell sleeves, with a zipper on the side. It has a slip-type top underneath, so you do not have to wear a cami with this gem.
I can’t even begin to tell you about the many ways I’d rock this top so I’ll just keep it to two.
First, I’d wear it in a more casual look with a cute pair of skinny jeans (you can find them at Goodwill for under $5 with various Customer discounts!). I’d also rock a cute pair of neutral colored wedge booties to add a small feminine and sophisticated element to a look.
Along with that I’d rock a really cute bib necklace that showcases a pop of color. I’m thinking deep reds, especially for a more casual office look. But if you want to go bolder with a neon, that works too! If you wear a bib necklace that’s bold, don’t forget to keep it subtle with the earrings, fashionistas!

Next, I’d also rock this top in a more fancy date look.
This top would look fabulous tucked into a high waisted tighter fitting skirt. It’d be SO flattering especially with the bell sleeve — the slimness of the outfit would accentuate the shape of the billowing bells.
The skirt could be of any color, but blue is in my mind today. Perhaps a deep blue skirt with a type of shiny sheen – almost like leather!
Along with a skirt, you do need to wear tights especially on a cold night; but that will surely not detract from the look, I promise!
Same jewelry would go for this look like the casual one above. Heck, I encourage you to experiment with the type of necklace this time. Maybe a long one with a statement pendant as opposed to a bib style? It’s your call!
How would you rock today’s beautiful and funky My Goodwill Find? How would you embrace the bell sleeves?
Great finds for the new year!!!!!
Thank you!
