Gone are the days when we can buy an item simply because we like it. Now we have to think, How much use will I get out of this top? Will I still be able to wear this dress next year? On ThinkThruFashion, I show how to go the most out of your wardrobe and I can think of a zillion ways to style Jones New York’s Trendy Silk Brushstroke Tank ($79). The classic shape makes the top extremely versatile. You can wear it over jeans for a casual dinner or tucked into a pencil skirt for the office. The red and cashew painterly print is more interesting than a solid blouse but not so loud that you can’t re-wear without people noticing. And the exposed zipper in back adds an extra cool touch. My only complaint? They don’t have my size.

*Update: Does this print look familiar? The Style Spy filled me in that YSL came out with an almost identical brushstroke pattern two years ago! Check out her blog for more info.
