Last weekend, I headed to Garden City to meet up with some friends for breakfast. I had a little cash to burn to buy some new knits for my Birthday. With the end of financial year sales on, and no kids with me, it was the perfect time to do some shopping.
I headed to Katies because I knew there were a few pieces I missed out on buying when I headed to the Katies night with Nikki. Alas, most of the items had sold out, but I still found a stripe tunic dress which could be layered for Spring.
Lately, I’ve been yearning to get back to basics and classics. Stripes, polka dots, black and white and my favourite leopard print always grab my attention.
As I was paying for my tunic dress, I noticed the girl behind the counter had a black cold shoulder top on. I thought surely that’s not Katies! It’s too trendy.
Curious to know where her top was from, I asked her and she told me that they were a really popular top and it was definitely from Katies. I turned around to see if I could get the top in black but there was only a small left. The other colours were lighter –which don’t usually suit my skin tone. But then my friend pulled out the dark grey one.
I headed back to the change rooms and tried the top on. I was a little unsure so I sent a message to a friend and modelled the top for the friend I was with who told me she liked it.
I was a little concerned about being cold on the shoulders since winter decided to arrive a week or so ago. But when I’ve worn it, I haven’t felt cold or naked – which is a good thing!
I think this cold shoulder knit top is perfect for Brisbane winters and in early spring when the temperatures are a little cool but don’t require a jumper or heavy jacket.
I paid $17 for my top last week, but now they are down to $9.95, so if you love the top like I do, head there now and buy one. I’m wearing an XL in mine.
If the cold shoulder detail is too cool for where you live, you can layer it over another long sleeved coloured top.
I’m off to buy the black one now!
When was the last time you got a bargain? Ever been surprised by a shop stocking something you didn’t expect?
