On Saturday I decided not to go to the boot sale as I'd had a busy week at work and felt too tired to walk all of it-once I'm there, I can't just do a part of it, I have to do it all, in case I'm missing out on anything!!
Instead I went into town and had a browse. I managed to get a silver lurex bolero cardi from H&M for half price-£5 and of course I had a look in the charity shops.
Even though I had bought my Jane Norman navy and white striped camisole vest, I still was hankering over an oversized tee and also preferably an authentic Breton one. I had scanned ebay, but didn't see anything I liked. So, I was very pleased to come across this one from Armor Lux, an authentic Breton clothing company
Fete Des Mouettes is also an annual event held at Douarnenez, so I assume these tees were specially made by Armor Lux for the occasion.
It was only £1-tres bon, I believe, LOL!!

I love that Breton top. I had one once around 1991. I bought it from the Sunday Times and wore it to death when I was pregnant with my eldest child. I will have to dig out a photo.
I don't know where it went but I have been coveting one ever since.
When I was looking through my Guardian for inspiration yesterday I cut out a pictur eof Sian Phillips from the weekend magazine. She was wearing a Breton top and she looked so timeless. I think that is the appeal of them.
What a great classic, a real wardrobe staple. I have looked at them online from the breton company but haven't bought one as worried about what the stipes will do for my ample bust.
love stripes! :)

Hi everyone-thanks so much for all your fabulous comments, always much appreciated!
Fantastic find!! It's awesome!
I had a Breton-style tee (just like yours: white with thin navy stripes) in the '80s when I was a child, and I just loved it! Wore it everywhere. Don't think I could carry this look off now as I'm top-heavy, but it brings back wonderful memories! Also, I think on you it would look fab. It's such a classic look.
Hi Anusha-thanks my dear, maybe you could try one with bootcut jeans-I reckon that would be a great look on you!!
