The Bacalar tee has me dreaming of warm weather and beach vacations. The simple, yet elegant, V-neck is easy to dress up or down. The eyelet inverted triangle on the back, mimicking the V-neck opening, and the line of eyelets down the front add a touch of detail to a top that could only be hand-made.
