This top is cute. I'm not so sure about the sleeves—puffy sleeves can be a little shaky. But at least the sleeves have a little length to them. I like the gathered bottom. I'm also not so sure of the ties at the neck, but the gathering is cute. This top can be found at the Gap. It is reasonably priced and comes in white, navy, and celestial blue (not sure how to describe what color celestial blue is ... )

I really like the print, the color, the neckline, and the way it falls at the bottom, with the elastic waist and gathered hem. You can find this top at American Eagle. They also have it in a plain white cotton, which is very soft and feminine looking.

Here is a long-sleeve shirt (well, a three-quarter sleeve), which I really like too. Again the v-neck. It's loose, and not too long.

Pray for the Missing Boaters

There are times when, for some reasons, stories touch my heart -- tugging at those proverbial heartstrings. I have been following this news story of three missing boaters in the Gulf of Mexico for just this reason.

These four men set out on Saturday morning from Clearwater Pass, Florida, on a 21-foot fishing boat and have been missing ever since. One man was found clinging to the hull of the overturned boat on Monday morning
