Oh, Fine, I Admit It: I Totally Like Bralets

I still am not quite sure I can pull them off, but I have a friend who wears one on the regular and looks so fabulous in it that she was street-style-blogged a couple of days ago.

Anyway, reader Marielle wanted to know where to find some affordable versions, and the answer is: TopShop. ASOS has a few options as well, but I think TopShop’s are much cuter (plus, they start at about $24 and go up into the $50s, so they’re not outrageously priced).
