After last week's joyful find of that gold 80's two piece, I decided to delve a bit deeper into my closet and did indeed find more gems. I'd bought these two White Stuff linen tops on the same shopping spree last year and had put them away until the summer. The aqua and white boat neck tops were both £6.95 each from the Cancer Research charity shop in Truro and were a great bargain. They still have that crispness of new linen which makes me wonder if they've been worn at all. The aqua version goes well with some wide beach trousers (another blog post in the offing).
The loose linen top and wide low slung trousers proved to be a winning combination on the heavy, muggy day at work. A boat neck top is a new style for me and one that I wasn't sure would suit me. I'm a big fan of a necklace and yet it seemed difficult to find one that worked with this neckline. The photos show that this doesn't look like anything is lacking at all which was another new learning curve. The next challenge was to find the perfect neutral colour bra - I'm not a fan of a white bra under a white top. I have three neutrals currently - one with a pinkish hue, one a slightly toffee colour and one that is genuinely flesh coloured which did become invisible under the pristine white top.
The cotton hipster trousers are by River Island (thrifted) and look great with a wide belt and fitted top (maybe a look for next time).
These sandals aren't new, but rediscovered in the recent wardrobe rummage - the brand is Sixtyseven and were from TK Maxx.
The rings were both gifts from friends. The mulitcolour one is perspex and the other is Venetian glass.
My white and black sunglasses are long time favourites from Quay Austalia.
So, Bank Holiday weekend is upon us and what does that mean for you? Like many people I'll be working on Monday, but am home over the weekend catching up on chores and fitting in a couple of swims on the high tide. On Monday I'll be back with the latest Style Not Age challenge and I'd love it if you could drop by to see what we're up to.
Until then, have a super weekend!

How fun that you are still excavating new-to-you clothes from the depths of the closet, Anna! These linen tops are amazing - I do agree that the neckline doesn't need a necklace as it's stellar on its own and shows your long lovely neck.
ReplyDeleteI still have a few as yet unworn items too - there just doesn't seem to be enough time, and yet, all the time in the world. What a strange era.
It's such a joy to come across these new pieces isn't it? And yes, I completely understand what you mean about not enough and yet so much time too!
DeleteWould also love to see the other color on you!
ReplyDeleteI'm just about to post the other one now ...
DeleteGreat casual outfit Anna! X
ReplyDeleteThanks. I do like to keep mixing it up!
DeleteQuite tame for you Anna, but I love it! You really can't go wrong with a white top can you. Jacqui x
ReplyDeleteI suppose I can't find a showstopper every time Jacqui x
