In a top rut…

My wardrobe is full of very boring stripy blue and white tops or shirts.

I need top inspiration.

On the bottom I wear straight/mom/boyfriend jeans, or pleated skirts or denim skirts.

Size 10 with small boobs.

Nothing too pricy but willing to pay more for a good staple.

No blue and white stripes!!!!

Help….

I think you should either head to Vinted or to your local charity shops and choose a selection from there.

Yes, I’ve banned myself from buying anything else that’s blue and white stripes!

Yes I did wonder if I should just go on Vinted and buy some tops that are different from my usual and just experiment. What’s the worst thing that can happen?

Ditto (or indeed any colour stripes). Can't believe how many I had.

Oddly enough I am today wearing a blue and white striped shirt. But apart from a white and navy striped t shirt it's the only two I own. I wear a lot of other styke tops.

I'm the same OP, even my DH has commented on my stripey tops. I realise now I'm sick of them, I've put several on Vinted, kept a few as cleaning clothes and that's it! I shall be checking out these links too
