Do you ever get to the point when you are sick of everything in your wardrobe and everything seems worn to death and worn out?
Well, that's definitely me. I don't tend to buy a lot of clothes, and as much as I love fashion, I wear the same basics over and over. I live in jeans, tshirts and cardigans along with scarves.
I think the weather must have something to do with my 'blah' feeling and desire for colour. I'm a bit over winter and want the nice, warmer weather to come.
Today I treated myself by popping into the Country Road section at Myer. And this is what I came home with! Stripes + colour! I think I have a slight addiction to stripes. But that's a whole other story.
Have you noticed all the nice colour coming into the shops?
I'm so excited by it all, hence my choices today. Goodness only knows if the colours suit me and what I have to wear them with, but I know I'll feel a cheerier with these guys on. The linen scarf will come in handy and I'm told they go nice and soft after a few washes.
Are you a strictly neutral gal, or will you be delving into some spring/summer colour with me?

ps Country Road now ship overseas :)
pps NOT a sponsored post but happy to accept more stripey tops if you are reading Mr/Mrs PR at CR!
Oh Sarah, you funny girl. We should start up Stripe-wearers Anonymous! I can't wait to see them on you. And yes, I'm delighted to see so much blue and green in the shops now...J x
ReplyDeleteSarah, I love stripes. Funny you bought Country Road I was on their website this morning drooling over the hand bags. I feel a handbag investment coming on. Love that scarf, it will be so soft and comfy.
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with stripes too! It would be nice to have some different colours in the shops to wear, my winter wardrobe is all black and purple! Molly looked so cute having her bath today. Ours are the same, happy to swim in the freezing cold dam but not so keen on having a bath! Raspberry Fool is on Bathurst St near the New Sydney (I think it's in the shop that La Cuisine used to be in).
ReplyDeleteYour rice salad sounded so good. I miss summer food, especially tomatoes and basil!
I love stripes too and wear them and jeans all the time. I love the new bright colours! I'm tempted to go to CR - there's a lot of groovy things in there at present. Carmel
ReplyDeleteI'm always attracted to stripes. I get stuck in the rut of wearing sombre colours and have to really think about introducing colour. I see lots of coloured jeans around but not sure they are for me!
ReplyDeleteThe linen scarf looks lovely. I love linen x
I'm stripe fan. They're lovely buys Sarah. I just can't wait for this winter to be over too (although ours is not as bad as a Tassie winter!). xx
ReplyDeleteLike Brismod I can't really complain about our Brisbane winter but must say I'm over it. Give me a lovely warm day wearing a cotton frock and pair of sandals any day.
ReplyDeleteNice haul Sarah and you will get tons of wear out of these tops.

I do like the softness of those bright colors if that makes sense. That scarf will be fabulous after several washes. Linen just gets better and better.
ReplyDeleteLove stripes...and bought a new CR stripes top last week (shopping for the Docs birthday pressie?!??)
ReplyDeleteNot sure about all the 80's colours and the tight pastel jeans but the stripes are ace!!
Oh I love CR and wear lots of it, I just bought that gorgeous scarf to take to Hamo with me, it matches my new clutch purse I made. The bright colours make you feel so good.x
ReplyDeleteI love the stripes! I haven't been clothes shopping in a while ~ I can't wait to check out the new styles for fall. I seem to stick to the same colors.. black, white and teal. I need a new color palate too!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I think of Johnny Cash with this post (I got stripes...). I am a bit like you, LOVE FASHION but love wearing a small range or fave regulars. But I LOVE stripes. And I'm loving this colour. Bring on Spring I say....
ReplyDeleteYou're inspiring me to ditch the black Sarah! It would be a bold move for me, but bring on the spring! x
ReplyDeleteI'm Loving the stripes lately!
ReplyDeleteAnd the lovely brightness of them is beautiful!
I think i will go on a shopping spree....
Stripes galore!
have a beautiful and calming day!
