COUNTRY ROAD (Australia) Lace Stripe Top

Sporty-meets-stylish in this baseball-tee style top by powerhouse Australian label Country Road. Featuring lace applique stripes and a scooped hem, this textural separate is perfect with everything from jeans to shorts to relaxed tailoring. The ideal grab-and-go that’s relaxed but also sophisticated :-)

COUNTRY ROAD
Country Road is an Australian icon that today operates more than 170 stores and concessions mostly in Australia and New Zealand. In 2014, the brand welcomed its 40th anniversary with a renewed confidence and a series of campaigns that drew attention to the beauty of where it all began: a short film featured rising star Isabel Lucas taking in the oldest Australian wool farms, and a Summer-themed clip that also marked Gemma Ward’s first major advertising comeback (the supermodel took a 6-year hiatus).

So apparently colour specialists have chosen the colour of 2015 and it is "marsala". Unlike the really bright colours of the past 5 years, this shade is more adaptable and can actually work well with many other hues, from blues and greys to some pastels, beiges and browns.
Happy Sunday :)
