Top: Jay Jays
Cardigan: Friends of Couture
Jeans: Sussan
Shoes: Rocket Dog
Jay Jays has been very coy about this, but I was excited to discover the other day that they're venturing into 2XL's. Sort of. It only seems to be in a limited number of pieces, but because this striped top was one of them, I was happy.
I've been looking for a red and white striped top for while - I'd envisaged something with bolder stripes than this, but at $12 I'm not complaining. The new 2XL is probably on par with a size 18, and it's a more flattering fit than my Giordano striped top. It has little puff shoulders and a wide collar-bone exposing neckline, so while it looks good layered under cardigans, it'll look equally good when the weather warms and I want to wear it by itself.
On the topic of cardigans - I'm wearing the "Magic at Midnight" cardigan that I had on my wishlist back in May. The Sophisticate's Mum actually gave it to me on my birthday, and I love it as much as I thought I would

Stunning outfit. And there's no way you are an 18 - you look fabulous and a lot smaller than that! I love your casual elegance and your ability to co-ordinate colour so effectively...
Oh look at that cardi! It's magnificent! The stripey underneath it really makes it too.
So so cute and pretty! And you really have a way with color. The way all the red accents come together looks superb and makes an otherwise-casual outfit look somehow pretty polished!
Thanks for the heads up! I had a look around the Jay Jays website, and it looks like they even have a 3X in some things: http://www.jayjays.com.au/products.aspx#/492496/longline-bow-back-front-and-back-tunic

Awesome outfit! I went into Jayjays after you tweeted about it and ended up with one of their dotty tops, only $12 too. It's good to see some of the shops doing bigger stuff.
