I bought this top the other day.
I was scouring the sort of shops I don’t normally visit, the ones full of clothes for bright young things, in search of a birthday present for my niece.
That pattern’s a bit nice, I thought.
It called to me in a most unexpected and affordable way and I couldn’t ignore it.
There is, however, one thing wrong with it.
That flashy trashy gold button. Not me. It has to go.
But what to replace it with? Something vintage, I thought, rummaging in my button tin.
I have options.
First option: an ibble obble black bobble button.
Second option: a rustic wooden number.
Third option: a fancy dancey vintage flower button in almost exactly the right colour.
I need help to decide. I wondered: who can I ask?
Well, I’m asking you! I’ve done a little poll so you can send me your thoughts with just a couple of clicks.
Results will be announced…. when I feel like it.







I voted for the black one, it matches nicely and won’t stand out too much. And it’s a very cute top
i like it
Oh I like that! Where is it from? And you are right about the button, changing it makes a really nice touch.
Its from a shop called Select. They had them in black and white too. I was genuinely surprised to see anything in there I would consider wearing; its not aimed at the likes of me!
