Pan collars and scalloped edges - that's what dreams are made of...

It's pathetic to admit but this top is something like nirvana for me.

Yes, a top is my nirvana ;)

It's key features - and my love for them - are well documented. It just ticks all the boxes. A cute collar and a gentle scalloped edge at the base. It's light, sheer, pretty and perfect for a casual, slouchy day.

This is yet another TRF find from the Zara binge conducted last week. Honestly, even the act of writing out TRF is pi**ing me off and I will try very hard from now on to diversify the brands a little bit but unfortunately there is one more stellar item to share....be patient, we will get there :)

I wore the top with jeans, boots and tied my hair back into a low knot. I always think a Peter Pan collar calls for a slightly androgynous hairdo.

Either that or I just couldn't be bothered to use any heat tools on it. You decide :)

Top: T-R-bloody-F - Link! (I think they must have photo-shopped out the model's nipples which makes me chuckle)
Body: American Apparel
Jeans: Cheap Monday - Link!
Makeup: Same as always
Perfume: Gucci Flora

A word on the jeans

When I first got these - via ASOS - I hated them. The denim felt like that cheap, material type stuff that makes me cringe. Over time though my attitude has changed. They are so comfortable, flattering and the high waist is a revelation - how tremendous to sit down and not even have to consider the arse-crack-reveal dilemma. I am smitten. I paid full price but they are now on sale...always the way!

Cannot wait for this weekend. Gelish manicure, beach-side drinks, catching up with the ri-dick-ulous (tee hee) Real Housewives, Xmas shopping and some serious reading. I have just started Born to Run by Chris McDougall (as recommended to me by one of you :) so I will let you know how that goes - any other literary suggestions absolutely welcome!
