Sailor coat: £63, Topshop. Ill-fitting and unflattering jumper: £1.50, charity shop. Acid wash shorts: American Apparel via ebay. Grey ribbed tights: Primark. Furry socks: Primark. Chelsea boots: Stylistpick. Necklace: Toujours Toi.
When the cooler period comes around I cannot help but release a sigh of relief that skimpy tops are to be put to the depths of my drawers, and instead the christmas jumper resumes its place on my shoulders. I can't decide whether I like clothes that don't fit, or am just unable to purchase anything that flatters my shape, but my jumper collection is certainly one to be rivalled. This specimen was purchased from a charity shop near to my sixth form; it is my favourite treasure trove of knitted gems, which I rarely leave without a new blouse or pair of shoes. Paired with a tiny pair of shorts this outfit, in hindsight, makes little to no sense, but two pairs of tights and some (faux!) furry socks certainly ensured that I was cosy as I went about my business, which was unfortunately rather boring and dissertation based.
Are you a fan of the jumper? Pop on over to The Tab to read an article I wrote (which may have a look at how other bloggers styled theirs!), and let me know how you wear yours

Love the jumper, i think that a good jumper is all about the loose cosy shape that you feel like you could curl up your legs into, pull the sleeves over your hands, and fit multiple tops underneath.
ReplyDeletejust bought a mens chunky black and white jumper in an XL…it looks lovely with thigh high knee socks and brogues, and is massive (pretty sure i could fit another me in it!) But it works out as more of a dress than a jumper now.
Love the piece too, and lovely pics xxxx
Can you take me charity shop shopping with you? I swear you and Annabel find some REET bargains. Also I don't know why you bring out excessive CAPS in me. hmm.
