Navy Striped Cutout Top: FFF Linkup 45

Sydney Fashion Hunter: Fresh Fashion Forum 45 - Navy Striped Cutout Top

I’m back home in Sydney after a brief stint in Hawaii with The Hubs. If you stopped by last week you will know that I was ill for most of the trip and unfortunately that continues. I was starting to feel a little better towards the tail end of my trip and managed to snap a few pics, unfortunately the road to recovery was slammed into reverse almost the moment I touched down in Sydney and I am struggling big time. I first saw this navy striped cutout top I wore on my recent short break in Hamilton Island but sadly they didn’t have my size. I was very tempted to buy the next size up but The Hubs convinced me to wait. I’m glad I did because not only did I secure my size online, I also managed to score a discount. Read on for all the details …




 

Navy Striped Cutout Top

This navy striped cutout top appealed to me the minute I spied it on the rack. I don’t normally do a turtle neck as I find them very restrictive but when I tried it on it was loose enough that I didn’t feel like I was being strangled like I normally do. The cutout detail on the back sealed the deal so the hunt began to secure my size online and Surfstitch came to the rescue! I paired it with my favourite white denim skirt that I have worn lots on the blog and the handmade silver jewellery The Hubs and I hand-made in Bali. Silver sandals, my new Michael Kors bag, a funky ring and very necessary sunnies completed the outfit. These photos are at Fort DeRussy in Waikiki which is a glorious park to spend an afternoon in, especially if you visit the Army Museum at the same time.

  1. Cute top! I really like that unexpected cut-out on the back of it! And your jewelry is beautiful, it’s so cool that you made it yourself!

  3. I used to be okay with a turtleneck but these days anything too high around the neck seems to trouble me which is annoying given they’re all over the place at the moment!

    • I’m hearing you Beth which is why I very rarely wear them. This one was all good though I think because the cowl is very loose.

    • Thanks Emma! It’s always tricky styling in holidays! While I am often tempted to take a large selection of my wardrobe The Hubs (and the airlines baggage restrictions!) dictates otherwise lol. Bags are the trickiest to take and they take up so much room in the suitcase!
