Sometime around September last year (the eve of the Antipodean summer), I was looking I was looking for a simple top that I could wear with my denim shorts when I am off to the beach or just popping into local shops, nothing fancy. Browsing the racks of my local Sportsgirl shop one day, a printed shell top caught my eye. It looked great with my ripped denim shirts and I wore it quite often during the summer months.
But once the temperature began to drop and shorts were packed away till next summer, I started experimenting with my autumn clothes to see if the top could be incorporated into my cool wardrobe and thus would serve me for few more weeks.
As it turned out, not only it looked great with my dark denims and flats during the day, but once I put a blazer over it, replace the accessories, put on killer hills and a grab one of my fashionable handbags, it was immediately transferred from a simple casual good for beach top into an integral part of a smart looking ensemble fit for an office or a dinner party.
