Ta da.... the first photograph of That's Not My Age, that hasn't been decapitated. Thankfully the sunglasses and hat are disguise enough. Here I am in Italy last year wearing my favourite holiday vest. A ribbed cotton halter neck from Jigsaw, 15 years old or thereabouts, that has travelled all around the world with me (don't worry I'm not going to bore you with the rest of the holiday snaps). This trusty top, faded by the sun and worn to death is the first thing I pack, every summer.
Having just got back from our tripette to Turkey, it's only natural that I'm contemplating the next vacation. And this year, I've been thinking that maybe it's time to find another reliable vest top before my Jigsaw number completely disintegrates. So I spent the afternoon conducting research on t'internet - whilst Mr TNMA got on with the holiday laundry - and found this gorgeous Chloé tank on The Outnet:
And then of course I just had to find a complete holiday wardobe to go with it. To travel in; bleached jeans, a lovely safari-style jacket and woven leather wedge sandals. Despite the fact that grey marl track pants are on trend and far more comfy, you'll never catch me slouching around Heathrow in a pair. I always travel in jeans.
For the beach, I'll be needing a kaftan - and the longer, the better. At my age, coverage is the name of the game, though I do still wear a bikini, having perfected my sun lounger to sea dash (sadly more like Dudley Moore than Bo Derek in '10'). And finally, I'll take a new pair of sunglasses. My holiday snap is out there for the world to see, I wouldn't want to get recognised now, would I?
Chloé knot detail tank, Acne jeans, Miu Miu cotton jacket, Belle by Sigerson Morrison sandals, Melissa Odabash zebra stripe kaftan and bikini and Chloé sunglasses all from The Outnet.

Do you have a favourite holiday item?
Some great pieces there! Love the Jacket, love it all, may have to make it my holiday wardrobe aswell!
ReplyDeleteOooh, Just love that Chloe tank. Dark sage green makes any skin look good. I do have a vacations fave. It's a belted shirt-dress by Alice Ritter in cream. It doesn't button all the way through, just down to the belt. I love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices. I have my 3 short kaftan tops, one from Zara, French Connection and yes (bloody) Boden! A white pairs of shorts from Oasis and various mismatch bikini tops and bottoms!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices. You will look great in all of this. I with you on the track pant front. Only OK for around the house or excersising in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the Outnet.

LF - And the good news is if you buy on April 16 it'll only cost £7!
ReplyDeleteRosina - yes, love the tank & will definitely have to buy it, I nearly included a shirt dress - they're so versatile.
MDS - oh yes I have a selection of very handy tunic tops and mismatched bikinis too (what is it about bikinis - they're like socks!).
F - you are very wise!
Fab wedges - love them!

Yes - but did you find a new tank!!!?
ReplyDeleteI've signed up for the birthday sale anyway - great to see you last night by the way!
You look adorable.
ReplyDeleteDo you really have my dress by Malene? Love her.
The largest component of my wardrobe is Resort Wear. I don't know why or how this occurred but it is. I have a caftan arrangement thing that I have worn to death since 2004 over bikinis, out to dinner, to Melbourne Cup...and the Crowd always goes wild over it.
I am nervous about the 1 pound sale because I fully expect the overload of shoppers to melt the System. I read that Natalie M is about to pocket about a bazillion dollars from the sale of Netaporter...lucky her.
You should buy all the stuff you've listed.
Hi there-some very gorgeous picks here, I do love those jeans and jacket, great investment style pieces!
ReplyDeleteSparx - I've left the tank in Brockwell Park! Good to meet you too.
ReplyDeleteFF & SR - I am going to sign up and attempt to buy my holiday wardrobe but have a feeling there might be chaos.
FF - keep working on the necklace designs and you too could be a bazillionaire!
Mmm especially love the jacket & jeans, I'm off on my hols soon, so may also have to get these! Love the other things too, but wouldn't suit. Don't do bikinis but I have a fab Sea Folly tankini from a few years ago.
