TRUE STRIPES

. BRETON STRIPES & REISS AMAR SHORTS .

Oh boy, the breton stripes continue. I’m not sure what’s happened to me this last month, whether it be my recent trip to France, a country that feels like a second home, spurring me on to release my inner francais or a new penchant for patterned garments, either way my love for the breton has become ever more prevalent. Not only have I picked up a cheeky French Connection breton stripe which you’ll have seen a couple of times on mediamarmalade.com already, a new Zara breton dress (coming soon, but a cheeky sneak peak here) but I also picked up a couple of garments from a local french shop whilst I was away, including this super cool breton stripe kids top which I absolutely love.

This breton top is a really thick material making it a great transitional top from summer through to autumn. I bought a kids age 12 which made it a total bargain but also meant the sleeves were a tad short – nothing a little fold can’t hide and I do love a cropped sleeve. I teamed my new breton top with my Reiss Amar shorts for a slightly more chic look, my Office garland heels went perfectly with the combination and created a look which looked made for the cute French streets and beautiful doorways.
