With the start of summer and hot weather, what better way to show off our tans than the many different colorful and graphic tops that the designers have out this year.

Get-TheDL.com checked out some of the stores recently and found a wide array of camisoles, tank tops, graphic t-shirts, babydoll hoodies, colorful blouses, smocked tunics with spaghetti straps, cropped tops, celebrity face tees and babydoll tops in all colors and price ranges.

The store displays showed many of the tops being mixed and matched in layers of florals, stripes and solids with lots of accessories.

We got our young model, Alyssa (15), to show off some of the great looks available this summer.  Check it out!
