I feel like the art of milkshake aesthetics had really
disappeared somewhat in the early 2000’s. You look at old photos of girls in
diners with beautifully crafted milkshakes, colours flecking the sides, a mound
of cream on top with sometimes hundreds and thousands and often a cherry. In my
teens, ordering a milkshake often meant getting it still in the metal mixing
cup or in the most depressing paper cups ever. But I am wholeheartedly loving
the resurgence of the retro diner in Australia which is bringing back rocking
milkshakes, cute décor and 50’s feels. It was in one such diner I decided to
show off the gorgeous Kasual Kate shirt in gingham from Miss Fortune UK.

Miss Fortune UK is a brand I’ve featured bit on my blog this
past month. The brainchild of Miss Laura, their bright retro pieces that are
versatile, comfortable and above all fun are great additions for any retro girl
who wants pieces they can wear different ways for create different looks. The
Kasual Kate top is no exception! Since shooting for this review I’ve worn it with
my Freddies jeans and loved it. It can be worn so many different ways and being
pastels it’s a piece I know I’ll get a lot of wear out of!
The Kasual Kate top is a similar style to a bowling shirt. It’s
got bigger sleeve openings for a comfortable fit, a white collar which
contrasts beautifully against the pastel hues in the gingham and its long
enough to tuck into a skirt, shorts or jeans. One feature I did love about this
top is its press stud buttons make the possibilities for its wear endless (I’m foreseeing a beach trip in my summer
future!) and incredibly easy to wear, especially on those mornings when your
brain hasn’t quite caught up yet and you find yourself fumbling with buttons at
7am.
The Kasual Kate blouse is designed to be worn loose and as a
result the measurements are quite generous. I’m wearing the size medium which
fits me perfectly. I also love that due to the loose fit of the top I can wear
it with or without foundations, having worn it both with just a bullet bra as
well as a corset as well. It’s fun, flattering and comfortable. Being 100%
cotton too it lets your skin breath, which is a feature I love as a person with
sensitive skin. It will also mean it is a good option for ladies who live in
warmer climates who need their clothes to be breathable!
As a pastel lover, I do truly adore this colour way of the
Kasual Kate top. There is so much I can already accessorise and match this top
with in my wardrobe (totally looking forward to teaming it with my capris!) and
pink and blue and my favourite pastels to work with. For this shoot I teamed it
with my Mary Anne’s Boutique hot pink circle skirt! It gives the top such a 1950’s
vibe that went perfectly with the pastel hues of the Daisy’s Milk Bar, where I
shot for this review! I honestly cannot recommend this top enough!
Even better though, if gingham isn’t your thing this top
comes in 3 other patterns! It’s also available in a retro bowling print, cherry
print and a mid-century pattern. All with the same great features, these other
prints are great options for ladies who aren’t pink fans. I’m personally also
loving the mid century print. I love earthy tones almost as much as I love
pastels and the fabric used truly is gorgeous.
The Kasual Kate shirt is yours for just $68.50AUD + postage, depending
on the exchange rate on the day. They also offer worldwide shipping so all my
readers outside of Australia can snap themselves one of these gorgeous tops
too!

I love the color combo of that top! And I totally love that milkshakes are making a comeback. Simple ones are the most photogenic, but the donut topped milkshakes I've seen recently are just amazing!
