GAME CHANGER : JERSEY REVERSIBLE CAMI

A couple of posts back I shared with you about the my new game changer belt.  So I thought I would share another item that has also 'added value' to my wardrobe recently.


Motto 80cm Reversible Cami Black

I have a small collection of cotton elastane cami tops that have been worn less and less over the past few years. Primarily because they haven't been able to fulfill the job required of them and I have found them to be increasingly uncomfortable, they are often too short and regardless of length they don't stay in place and I am forever pulling at them and rearranging them.

These Motto Jersey Reversible Camis have rendered my old cotton elastane ones redundant.  These camis are available in three lengths, and a variety of colours.  They are a stretch jersey with a 'crushed' effect and are reversible with the option of a scoop or 'v' neckline. My first purchase was the 80cm cami in black, I then added another 80cm in Cobalt Blue and my most recent addition has been the 90cm (dress length on petite me) in black.

The beauty of these garments are they stay in place.  They are smooth and satiny to the touch and, as a result, any garment you wear over them will fit smoothly and skim the cami so you don't have to worry about your top layer 'catching' or 'bunching' on the fabric of the cami.

I have been wearing mine to add a little extra length under a shorter draped top, (it covers my tummy area and creates a nice clean line on that part of my body), to add a little pop of colour under a black top, and as a 'slip' under a sheer dress.  They are also substantial an lovely enough to simply wear on their own.  And possibly best of all, they are wash and wear! There are many more options for wear that I will show you in coming posts but for now here are four ways I have worn the black 80cm cami recently.

one : elongating a high low top and creating a low contrast for belting
two : layered under an animal print top to create some 'balance'
three : worn as top under a jacket
four : as with no. 2, layered under white top for coverage and to create smooth foundation for belting

These camis have quickly become an important basic in my wardrobe, and despite not wearing much colour, I find myself wanting one in every colour :)   I know it's an incredibly cliched thing to say, but I am not sure how my wardrobe functioned before I bought these!

So I am wondering what fills this hole in your own wardrobe.  Is this type of top important in how you put your outfits together?
