this base layer brand makes a surprisingly cute tank top

I’ll be in LA next week for work! Would love to squeeze in some store visits and fun events. Let’s chat: vivthemole@gmail.com
Today I had a moment that felt quintessentially California: driving down Telegraph Avenue with my low gas light on, eating a chocolate concha as granulated sugar crumbs fell on my lap.
This is what I wore for my very casual 80 degree Saturday. I couldn’t be bothered to wear any makeup. I was just trying to be comfortable getting from point A to point B, hence the baggy Levi’s and Keen flip flops.
But this pink tank top, with one strap partially covered by a blue gingham tote (kindly gifted from Sandy Liang), singlehandedly carried the vibe of the outfit.
I had actually only bought this tank top last winter to hit an order minimum on a holiday sale on natural fiber base layers. (It’s priced at $84, but I had a 30% discount).
I remember coming across this strawberry milk colored tank on the website, and thinking, hmmm this has potential! The pink colorway drew me in but what made me add to cart was the fabrication. It’s a merino wool and silk blend, which I love, and felt justified the higher price point for a basic tank top.
With the extremely warm spring we’re having this year, this has been an easy top to wear with jeans on comfy-cute outfit days.
It feels like if Cou Cou and Smartwool had a baby, which is a great descriptor of my Bay Area style sensibility in general!
