One of the gaps I noticed in my wardrobe when spring arrived was some nice relaxed fit block colour tanks. I was thrilled to find this metallic one at Jeanswest. I had a gift card and it was on sale! It's a very pale green with silver thread running through it, and they have it in brown and gold too. It's on sale again, with 40% off.
Since the festive season is the perfect time to wear something that sparkles I've included a few more sparkly pieces for you to shop below. Ideal for New Year's Eve party outfits!
What I wore:
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in popSkirt: Izabel London Aztec print maxi skirt (C/O)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in yellow!)
Nail Polish: OPI Koala Bear-y
Why I wore it:
Wore this for a busy morning. We haven't been house hunting much since having Baby Boy, only because it's so much more difficult touring open houses with two little ones. We're really picky with what we want to see. Two possible houses popped up in our searches so we decided to go visit them both, and finish a little more Christmas shopping.Although neither house made us feel like it was the perfect house for us it was nice getting out and looking at houses, it seems to have been a while since we saw any that looked promising. I was happy to wear my new tank too. I added some colour with the accessories as it seemed like a pretty plain outfit otherwise.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, printed maxi skirt, Havaianas, purple mini MAB tote bag. First time I've worn the top as it's a new purchase.
Other ways to wear: printed maxi skirt in winter, purple mini MAB tote bag and winter layers.

Why I wore it:
I liked the plain tank and printed bottom combo above so wore it again the second time I wore this metallic tank top. Although this time with shorts instead of a max skirt. Again I wore this to do a little bit of Christmas shopping! A little bit of sparkle with the metallic thread does seem so festive for December.It's been a year and a half since I last wore these shorts, which is a crazy amount of time. I was pregnant last spring/summer though so that's partly why these shorts were unworn. It was so good to get them out again, a nice change from the usual denim shorts I tend to default to in the warmer months.
As it's the second time I've worn this metallic tank, and I'm reviewing everything I buy after wearing it twice, my purchase review:
I really like this tank, definitely a keeper. The subtle metallic thread and shimmer makes it a great basic piece that I'll be wearing even after the festive season. It fits my wardrobe wishlist need for more basic relaxed fit tanks and I'm really pleased I bought it.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), metallic tank (above), printed shorts, studded sandals, silver mini MAC bag.
Other ways to wear: printed shorts and purple top, studded sandals and denim shorts, metallic silver mini MAC and stripes.
