White Strapless Top: Fresh Fashion LinkUp 21

White Strapless Top

I’m back home in Sydney but I’m bringing you one last outfit post from Bali. The day I took these photos was blisteringly hot. I’m talking eye ball melting, about to spontaneously combust hot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m used to the heat in Sydney, in fact today was 39c but for some reason this day just sapped the life out of me. I had no inclination to drag myself out of the pool (see pic below) and even less inclination to put on clothes, so when it came time to head to lunch this white strapless top paired with short shorts was probably the least amount of clothing I could get away with wearing and still remain fit to be seen in public. As an added bonus, the loose silhouette is great at hiding the bulging belly I’ve developed after remorselessly eating my way through all these fabulous restaurants while I have been in Bali. I slid on a blingly pair of shoes and some colourful jewellery to make it look like I made some sort of effort, but I don’t think I was fooling anyone. Sometimes style just has to be sacrificed for comfort and I’m all about keeping it real on the blog. Read on for all the details …




 

White Strapless Top

I bought this feminine, floaty and fun white strapless top for $15 from the same place as the dress I wore here. The day after I took these shots, my dress starting unraveling after only a single wear. I returned to the boutique (Libra Collection Kuta on Jl Legian) who refused to replace the clearly faulty item. She did offer to have a tailor fix it but since we were flying out that night time didn’t permit. A heated conversation ensued and the only solution she offered me was that I should sew it myself or buy a new one. Hmmm great customer service right there! So all I can say is shop at Libra Collection Kuta in Legian at your own peril. I am currently wondering how long the white strapless top will last and whether it will make it through it’s first wash. Fingers crossed right!

  2. I love the white top, and your sandals and jewellery are beautiful. What a shame the blue dress was faulty, shocking customer service! 39C is way too hot for me, I think I’d stay indoors with the air con on full!

    • Thanks so much Emma! The day after ended up being 42c! For the last few days of summer Sydney is really turning it on that’s for sure! It is a little warm but I think I would take that over snow any day ? I was mad at the time about the dress at the time but it’s kinda hard to hold a grudge. I’ll ask a friends Mum to fix it for me and I should be back in business in no time!

    • The pool was lovely but the water was actually quite hot as the sun was so relentless! A little cooler would have been just perfect ?

  6. So cute! Love this look! Also a little envious that you could wear this amazing summer outfit and our temps are still pretty chilly- at least it’s outfit inspo for when the weather warms up around my way. Love the jewelry also, thanks for letting me link-up!! xoxo

    • Thanks Kim! I’m dreading winter coming. Hopefully I have a while yet before I have to worry about it. Expecting another 40+c day today in Sydney.

  9. Comfort almost always comes over fashion…especially when it comes to just lounging at home. And that sucks about the customer service! How horrible!

  10. Awww it is so warm and sunny there. You look great. I love all the accessories especially the jewelry.

    Take Care, Ada. 🙂

    • I know but the laws are not the same in Bali so I just had to suck it up. A friends Mum sees so I will see what she can do with it. All might not be lost!

    • Thanks so much! Not my usual style but I love how easy it was to wear and that is most important on holiday!

    • Thanks Nicole. No I don’t think they are just bad luck with this item and not enough time to fix it. Consumer laws are very different in Asia so you just have to roll the dice!

  22. Yes, comfort over style for sure, at those kind of temperatures. I’m impressed: you look so fresh in spite of the hot weather.
