We hope you had a wonderful and productive weekend and got a chance to spread your wings! Black Russian Label wanted to put a little brightness and vivid color into your day this week with this Margarita Lime-Green BRL Nomad Chic top (style #201503) that has completely detachable sleeves! Who knew that one simple top could be so versatile. Wear it zipped up with both sleeves, get your attitude on by completely detaching only one sleeve or wear it sleeveless with your perfect scarf (as shown above) for a careful pop as you enter into fall.

THANKFULLY, our heated summer is approaching it's end, and we find this lime green piece the perfect POP OF COLOR...
