So the blog sale has helped me make hanger space for a couple of investment items for autumn winter and the first one I want to share with you is this cream Mint Velvet Cream top that I fell in love with when I saw it on their website a few weeks ago.
Cream suits me and I love the balloon sleeves - super flattering. I also love how wearable it's going to be for day and night.

This time round, it was a day occasion. A barbecue for my nephew's birthday and a change of scene for the photos - taken outside my sister in laws house. Even though I know Natalie will be disappointed not to be able to admire my husband's lawn :)

I wore it with my sale bargain Maison Scotch jeans (again!), M&S leopard heels and the neutral bag I picked up from Rosanna at the Style Fair (see this post). Oh and my leopard print specs from Specsavers had a wee outing too. And that's a random hair strand bidding for victory. I don't always have good hair days - here's proof!
and a wee lookey down angle...
LOVE - my only gripe is that it didn't come with a vest already. Luckily I have cream vests in bulk in my wardrobe. I also tried it with a nude vest which shows off the pattern a little better so I'll show that look when I wear it next.
Beware if you're checking out the Mint Velvet website and like me, you're a fan of grey. I've got my eye on THE most amazing grey jacket that I know I'll got tons of wear out of...and their sale stock is fab too...enjoy!

DeleteSuch a pretty topp! I really like Mint Velvet - they follow the trends but very much in their own way so it's possible to pick up something a little different from the mainstream x
ReplyDeleteHi Niki, yes, I love their neutral palate and the fact that they are items you'll keep for years and years. Trying (tho it's hard) to get away from fast fashion this season x
DeleteThat top is gorgeous - was it sale?
ReplyDeleteTHE BAG, THE BAG, THE BAG - it's fab!
Isn't it - I bet Rosanna is wishing she didn't sell! I've used it loads this week - goes with everything! x

ReplyDeleteThank you Alison! xx
DeleteI just love this whole outfit - you look fantastic. I need to have a look at Mint Velvet x
ReplyDeleteI love Mint Velvet. and i love your spec frames too xxx (I'm an optometrist in real life so I lover to see good glasses)Love Liz xxx
ReplyDeleteYay - I love my glasses too and these are my favourites. And they give me the excuse to dig out my leopard print :) x
DeleteLove this look - love it so much, I would wear it all.
ReplyDeleteNoooooooo! WHY did you show me that jacket???!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat top, in fact lovely outfit. Still loving those shoes and wishing I could wear them :(
I know - the jacket is amazing....super neutral. You'd wear it LOADS! x
DeleteLOVE the cream top - I wish I suited cream! Lately all the nice tops that I've seen involve cream and lace - *sigh! Cream makes me look ill :-( I guess I could maybe add a scarf so I have a different colour close to my face?? Any tips?
ReplyDeleteSo much cream about. I think this top would be too fussy with a scarf. It does come in black too or you could do what I do and slap on the fake tan? I find it makes such a difference when wearing pale colours x
DeleteLoving that look, lace & leopard can't beat it! Xx
ReplyDeleteLoving this top!!! on the hunt for a discount code now before I purchase! if you know of any please let me know x Ruth - Room31 x
ReplyDeleteWill do Ruth xx
DeleteAnother stunning outfit! Looks amazing on you! I've looked at the M&S shoes & I'm now seriously tempted! The heel height is perfect & they look great! Ax
