Julia Morris 'in love' with Aussie designed top-selling shirt: 'I've never looked so good'
It's been Motto's best selling garment for the past five years and it's easy to see why.
People talk about “wardrobe saviours.” The one piece that can be a go-to in any situation - casual, dressy or, the horror, when the event could be either. But how to find that holy grail item has been a question on my lips... until now.
To be honest, I don’t know how it took so long because the piece in question, the Blogger Shirt by Motto, has been a fan and celebrity favourite for the past five years. In fact, the chic yet simple wardrobe staple has been the brand's number-one-selling garment for a decade.
Australian TV Stars like I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! host Julia Morris and Fiona Falkiner have been seen out and about in them with Morris in particular raving about the item.
“I’m sorry, I've never looked so good. I’m not even gonna lie,” says Julia, modelling a green version of the Blogger Shirt paired with Motto’s black tube skirt in a TikTok video.
She’s so obsessed that she’s seen strutting around in a pink blogger shirt not long after.
“I’ll tell you what I’ve fallen in love with over the last few weeks is that collar,” says Julia, referring to the chic v-neck stand-up collar. “Yes! I’m really loving it, and I feel comfortable.”

How does the Blogger Shirt feel?
That comfort is something over 5,000 reviews also attest to, describing the magic of the Blogger Shirt as its buttery soft fabric that practically begs to be touched.
“The fabric feels amazing against my skin,” wrote one happy customer.
“It feels so luxurious,” said another.
But the versatility of the top is what people really love.
Whether you’re an on-the-go mum, a boss in the boardroom, or need that perfect “jeans and a nice top” look for a night out, this shirt can slot straight into your life.
And no wonder. The minds behind Motto, mother-daughter duo, Faye Browne and Lauren French, spent ten years fine-tuning and perfecting every detail.
How to wear the Blogger Shirt
One of the most important parts of the design was that it works for all shapes, flattering every body.
The relaxed fit flows effortlessly over curves, while the hi-lo hem offers the perfect amount of coverage for hips and tummy.
You can wear it loose for a cool, laid-back look, or go to the school of Julia Morris for some style tips.
“The girls taught me this,” she explains in a video that’s received dozens of comments. Twisting the front of the shirt into a column she tucks it into her skirt. “It just goes down there. Standby,” she says turning to face the camera again with a transformed look.
“All of a sudden I’ve got a super slim situation going on,” she says.
“Looking absolutely sublime,” raved someone in the comments.
“That colour on you is divine. As a blonde I now need this [green] blouse,” said another.
Luckily, even if green isn’t your colour there’s a shirt (or two) out there for you.
With 32 colours and patterns, including neutrals, bolds and statement prints, there’s plenty to choose from or switch to when you need a wardrobe upgrade.
Harlow Dress perfect for all shapes and sizes
The Harlow Dress is another of Motto's best-sellers (selling out in just ten hours earlier this year) and is becoming a wardrobe essential for many women across Australia.
Personal stylist, Imogene Whittle from Spree With Me told Yahoo Lifestyle what makes the dress a worthy addition to any wardrobe, noting that its standout feature is its luxurious draping.
“It’s designed to flatter your natural curves while gracefully softening the midsection,” she says. “The adjustable fit allows you to customise the style to suit your shape, offering both comfort and elegance."
The Harlow dress also comes in sizes ranging from 8 to 20, making it perfect for a range of body shapes and its design makes it oh-so flattering for them all too- which is a must.
Another standout feature of the Harlow? The very clever tie which allows the dress to be worn in three different ways, meaning it can be adapted for almost any occasion.
"The styling options are endless, making this a true “throw-and-go” wardrobe essential," says Whittle.
Other Motto items that should be on your wish list
The Blogger Shirt might be Motto’s top seller but it’s by no means their only must-purchase item.
The fashion company has had various viral hits over the years like the Miracle Pant and the four-time sell-out Lust Cami and the Bias Cut Skirt - all of which have rave reviews from hundreds of happy customers.
All Motto items are ready to do some heavy lifting, easily dressed up, dressed down, layered or worn solo.
