The Row to Country Road Classic White T

I'm a firm believer in the Classic White Tee. Like the LBD, the CWT is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing.

I myself own at least 10 different CWTs. Whenever I'm shopping, I am instantly drawn to white Tees. I can't help it. I am constantly on the hunt for the ultimate, perfect CWT.

My current favourite is one of my Country Road Tees. In all honesty, it isn't perfect. I mean, the fabric is a little harsh, and the hem is too straight for my liking, but the top half is great.


So, I have a few CWTs on my wishlist...

The Row sabeen jersey T-shirt, £137.50 from Net-a-porter.com
The Olsen twins, renowned for their relaxed, comfortable, hobo-ish style, are my ultimate fashion inspirations. They just so happen to have their own label, which focuses on quality  relaxed clothing. Perfect!  Needless to say, the CWT on the top of my CWT Wish List is from The Row.

T by Alexander Wang classic jersey T-shirt, £72.34 from Net-a-porter.com 
I love Alexander Wang. I love a classic loose fitting T-shirt. Need I explain more?

Rag & Bone JEAN burn-out jersey T-shirt, £70.83 from Net-a-porter.com
3rd on my Wish List is of course Rag & Bone. Effortless cool summed up in one perfect Tee.

Saba crew neck T-Shirt, $14.40 on sale in-store or saba.com.au
I think I may actually go in and buy this now that I know it is on sale... perhaps writing this post wasn't a good idea.

StyleMint maxwellT, $29.99 from stylemint.com
I know, I know. StyleMint doesn't ship to Australia. But a girl can dream, can't she? It is my Wish List, after all. All the goodness of Olsen design, packaged up and shipped to your door step for only $30... cry.

This post is more of my Wish List, rather than your directory for the perfect CWT. My excuse is that I havn't found the perfect one yet. I'm still on the look out.

However, I will share some of my more successful CWT stories with you. I bought a lovely cropped CWT from the Country Road outlet at Harbour Town last year for approximatly $30, and a staple high-low one from Sportsgirl for approximately $20 in 2010 that I still wear. I also had a perfect white loose fitting tunic, from Jetty Surf that I wore to death. Unfortunately I had to throw it at the beginning of 2011, and I can't find another anywhere. My friend also found a perfect loose-fitting fitting CWT from French Connection in January on sale for $15. Oh! And I found a nice fitting baggy white Tee from K-mart as well!

I shall resume my hunt, and hopefully buy and review the Saba CWT mentioned above.

Happy hunting my friends,
