TIBI OR NOT TO BE (TIBI).....SPLURGE OR STEAL?


Tibi  outfit
TIBI


Bare shoulders and clean bright white are a sure fire way to say summer. When I spotted this beautiful Tibi top a while back, I convinced myself I needed it, or at least one that looked a bit like it.

The question is, if like me your wish list says yes, but your credit card definitely says NO, then Warehouse's take on the Tibi 
top may just be your answer. 

Throw on some denim cut-offs and a summery espadrille, or for a sleek urban look, culottes are the chic trouser alternative this season. I would add a red lipstick (Nars Lana is my current favourite shade), heeled sandals and you're ready to go.

 For a more laid back look I love this top with cropped kick flares. With a heel these jeans are super flattering, but dressed down with flats they still tick all the right boxes. Perfect for the weekend, casual evening out, or even the school run.

Summer in the city? These silk culottes are proof that you can be sassy in the office. Pair them with a smart blouse tucked in during the day, and if you have a dinner date later, the off the shoulder top adds a lovely feminine feel.

  1. I've just bought a similar styled top Helen as I thought it would be perfect for avoiding strap marks when out in the sun.
    I love both looks that you've created but would have to say the second one is my favourite - just stunning.

  3. Great inspiration. I've been a huge fan of off the shoulder looks since well before they became a big trend. They're a big staple in my wardrobe. Love the tibi blouse very much.

  4. I think the steal is much more wearable. I'd love to be able to do off the shoulder but for some reason I look like a sumo wrestler!!

  10. Amazing steal! I love the look with the black culottes, but I'd probably wear the first look more ;-)
