White tops are a necessary addition for every season!

The Essential: Shell tops are a go-to piece for cardigan lovers and shrug wearers, and nothing beats a clean white ground-- except one that has lots of lace and beads, of course. Look for subtle items that combine Victorian-inspired details for a feminine look to pair with your seasonless skirts.

Get the Look for Less: Missphit, featured above, offers these shell tops for under $50, and since they are cotton, you can also wear them in the summer with jeans.

For another Victorian look, you can also seek out a beaded headband or long chandelier earrings.
