Never let it be said that I don’t follow my own advice! Although I will freely admit that this time I may have gone slightly overboard. The problem is that once I decide I need a specific piece in my wardrobe – be it a pair of boyfriend jeans, a floral dress or pair of metallic pumps – and start searching for it, all of a sudden the said item seems to be everywhere. Being super indecisive, I then end up buying two or three very similar things. So, somehow I have now ended up with five striped tops (although one is more of a tunic/dress) to my name – three long sleeved ones from H&M and two short-sleeved from Topshop. Only one of them cost over £20 so at least my splurge on stripes didn’t break the bank. I am confident that I will get plenty of wear out of all of them but I also have a niggling feeling that two may have sufficed!
Does anyone else have the same problem? If so do you give in to the temptation to buy several very similar items or are you disciplined enough to limit yourself to only one?
And one more! This one I bought from the kids’ section in H&M last summer (seriously, if you’re petite it’s a great place to pick up some fab pieces!). The bright pink stripes helped brighten up the dull, rainy day we’ve had today. Sunshine forecast this weekend though!
Hope you’ve had a good Wednesday. X
Great idea and that pink stripe looks awesome on you! Brightened my day here, even with relentless sunshine :-).
Thank you so much. And please send some of that sunshine my way! X
I’m going to have to check out the kids section next time I’m in H&M!! Love that top!
Yes do. There is a lot of awful stuff to sift through (think I’m a bit to old for Hello Kitty prints!) but if you persist you can unearth some real bargains. X
Oh my God: I thought you’d ransacked my wardrobe! I have so many striped tops my superhero name would have to be The Zebra (with the ability to camouflage in savannah conditions?).
Ha ha I love that! Nice to know I’m not the only one who can’t resist a striped top. X
I love the ones you picked! Wmm….I’m a little embarrassed to say that this happens to me…especially when denim is involved. I’m always like, “well I don’t have quite this same denim top…” and wind up with like 10 of them. LOL it’s always good when it doesn’t break the bank, I agree!
Thank you. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one with this ‘affliction’!! X
Ahh! I love stripes!!!!! ❤ ❤
Me too, as you can see 🙂 Thank you so much for your comment. X
I have too many striped tops in my wardrobe. Last I counted…6 and it’s growing! 😊
My thinking is that as long as you love them and wear them all it’s all good! Nothing beats a striped top and a pair of jeans in my opinion. X
Yep, always pair them with jeans and blazer 😊 xx
I am loving striped tops at the moment too!
Glad I’m not the only one! Thanks so much for your comment. X
Hi! I really like your post. I’m Cameron and I’m very interested in fashion. I think you would enjoy my posts; I would really appreciate a follow back! Thanks!
Thank you so much. I will definitely check it out. X
I love stripes! The pink looks fab on you! I have huge stripe envy xx
Thank you so much. I’m not normally a fan of colour but stripes I can do! X
Love the stripes!! They never date, so a girl can really never have too many, right?! I’m that way with shoes. If I’m on the hunt for a specific pair and find them in 2 colours….well, I might as well buy them both, because shoes do wear out quickly, you know. I mean, I have to be prepared!! 🙂
Absolutely, I’m with you all the way! X
Cute top!
Thank you ! X
Stripes are timeless! I need to buy one as well.. So I’ll have a look at H&M 🙂
I’m like you.. I actually bought a loose shirt from H&M with all 4 colours! I don’t even think I need those 4. Ooops 😀
I love stripes as well. 🙂 You look really pretty. I love that pink lipstick! xo
Thank you so much. It’s my new lipstick from Chanel. I’m really picky with lipsticks but really happy with this one. X
LOVE stripes soooooo much!! Love all of your posts, the pictures are always so beautiful and aspirational! Have a great weekend hun, Amandaxx
