The Find: A Chic Going Out Top

Jan 22, 2026

At 43, my going out days are mostly behind me, but I still like to try a little bit harder on dates with my husband. But halter tops, spaghetti straps, etc. no longer appeal to me. Luckily, MarcellaNYC exists.

Even with a selection of party tops and dresses, the Monroe top continues to be my favorite. ?It pairs a strapless ponte base with a ruched mesh overlay. ?You can wear it with black pants, a skirt, or jeans. ?Just add a fun earring and a cool shoe and you’re done.

As for sizing, I was right between two sizes and I chose to go up. ?I think that was the right call. ?

Some of you might be turned off by the fact that this top looks best with a strapless bra, but that’s not a concern for me given how cool the top is. ?As a 38-small C, I use the Cakes Cleavage Bra. ?When I have to wear an underwire strapless bra, I wear this Wacoal bra.

If you’ve never shopped at MarcellaNYC before, have a look. ?The prices are relatively affordable, and it’s nice to have something pretty in the closet sometimes.
