Something You Can Never Have Enough Of + WIWT - Stripes & Culottes




Morning ladies today I want to talk white tops, which for me & no doubt a lot of us are a complete wardrobe essential.  Something we can never have enough of & can so easily 'justify' a new wardrobe addition as they simply go with everything, available in a whole host of styles & are quite frankly worth their weight in gold this time of year.  Throw on with a pair of denim shorts & a panama for instant style whilst of holiday, team with a pair of jeans & flats for a 'go to' look for summer or style up for evening with heels & some cropped kick flare trousers.  Simply timeless fashion that you're never going to feel wrong wearing.

I don't know about you but I just can't seem to resist looking for new additions be it a classic white tailored shirt, a pretty lace broderie number for summer or a statement blouse with that extra bit of detailing.  For me they're something I reach for if I'm not sure what I want to wear - a total no brainer & come this time of year I just live in them.

As you would expect there's lots of tempting beauties currently on the high street to make us want to 'click that button' & during my research for this post I may have 'clicked that button' on the odd one on the justification that there's a couple in my wardrobe that need updating & have lost their whiteness.  I've included my edit of the best above & as always simply click on any of the images for further details.

Back to today & it's simple styling with another item I think we all have a soft spot & huge weakness for - stripes.

So ladies see any beauties above that may have got you itching to 'click the button'?  Or is your wardrobe full to the brim with white tops that you seriously can't justify anymore.  Perhaps you just don't see what all the fuss is about & would reach for a bright number any day of the week as opposed to something neutral?

As always I love reading your thoughts & comments.

Enjoy your day ladies & I'll see you tomorrow.

  2. I have way too many - they need a sort out! However I just naturally gravitate towards them in shops, they really are too easy to grab aren't they X

  3. I love white tops, culottes and stripes too. New white tops are so moreish because they look so fresh and clean. I have worn culottes for years because where I live it is so windy that a skirt is a definite no-no. Culottes are so handy; cooler than jeans and they don’t blow up in the breeze. Got my breton top and military shirt on today.

    1. Ooh they do don't they Chris - I almost don't want to wear them as they look so bright & fresh. Loving the ideal of your breton teamed with a military shirt sounds perfect.
      Hope you've had a lovely weekend.
