Getting ready for summer the best way I know how: with cute and functional pieces! As an 80's baby, I grew up with the Care Bears and I'm so happy that Aussie brand Sarsparilly teamed up with them for a clothing collection. Sarsparilly is well-known for their amazing quality and one of a kind retro styles. I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the matching peasant top and shorts, I couldn't handle the cuteness! Scroll down to read more about this nostalgic collection and these beautiful pieces!
Top- c/o Sarsparilly

Hat- Amazon (similar)
The Love and Sunshine top and shorts are made from a soft and cool cotton sateen. It has a little stretch to it and is perfect for the warmer months. The top has elastic along the neckline and sleeves and is finished with a cute bow at the neckline and a side zippered closure. The shorts have side pockets and a back zippered closure. The print features a classic Cheer Bear frolicking in nature. Now that I think about it, that's probably why I love the print so much!
As for sizing, I'm almost always an XS in Sarsparilly clothing (I'm usually a small in most other brands). I'm wearing an XS in the top and a S in the shorts. I think I *might* have been able to take an XXS in the top but I'm perfectly happy in the XS. As for the shorts, I was truly in between sizes. The XS fit but was just a little snug in the thighs so I wore the S, which was just a little large in the waist. I'd much rather have taco room than be a little uncomfortable so I'm happy with my picks. That being said, I'm quite hourglass shaped and if you don't have a big waist to hip ratio like me, I would go with your waist measurement.
You can shop the entire Sarsparilly x Care Bears collection HERE! Just an FYI, the prices are in Australian dollars. They have a currency converter on their website and they offer AfterPay (my fav!). When you purchase from Sarsparilly, you're supporting a woman-owned business and you're guaranteed the best quality. Seriously, I'm always impressed with their pieces! Keep your eyes peeled here on my blog, I'll be reviewing another piece from this collection soon!
