Tops

I never have enough tops. Every season I look at my wardrobe and I plan to buy, say, two pair of trousers, a skirt, etc. The “important” garments, the expensive ones. I then realise, I don’t actually have enough tops to wear with them…

Reasons I lack in tops:

  • I don’t buy them because I don’t think about it
  • I can’t find tops I like
  • I can’t wear anything I like

I am getting better with the first point, as a matter of fact, last week I was in Zara looking for a dress and I saw this top:

Zara Geometric print top. Sleeveless blk & white

and I bought it, as you do, when looking for something completely different… Seriously, I actually think one should always be on the lookout for certain items and buy them when one finds them! That would be my second point and third points solved, I just need to remember the first one!!

Anyway, having spent reasonable amounts on white shirts, which are always a good solution and need to be good quality, I reckon the best place to go to for summer tops is Zara. It’s unbelievable the choice they have! There are so so many, I have never seen so many tops I like in any one place!! Just take a look and you will find an enormous amount of tops. Online is best, they have EVERYTHING (have I stressed it enough or what??)

If you already have basics like black/white t-shirts and tops, I would go for patterned or at least look for some kind of “movement” (like cut-out, different fabric textures,etc.)

Too many to download, would take me hours… here are the links:

Flat mules

Nice alternative to the more casual slide, the flat mule has come back yet again! Not exactly at the top of the list of this summer’s trends but nevertheless present.

Comfy (as in they don’t make your feet sore, “running wise” no way!), a little elegant but not too much. Looks nice with both a dress and jeans. Chic. Do you need any more reason ?!?

I actually have a pair from several years ago but the are very pointy, not sure yet whether I am going to take them out for a walk…

Zara clutch

I have never spent much on a clutch-bag, mainly because I use it twice a year, I just don’t have the occasion and perhaps I am not into being uncomfortable either. It’s just, if I know I am going to have to hold it for too long… well, in that case I will use a small “cross body” bag.  But I do like clutches. That’s where cheap and cheerful Zara comes in.

I found this one and have fallen for it…

Comes in black too ( and I would have them both!)
