Winter Sales Outfit no.2
Another really simple look- casual but smart. It's a nice one to wear indoors on a cold Winters day. The snowy Jumper, which I found for £10 at a local vintage shop, is woolly enough to be warm, and baggy enough to be comfy, but is cut short at the waist via an elasticated waistband so isn't so baggy that it makes you look fat. It's got a kind of chicness to it, particularly when worn with the sleeves rolled up, that prevents it from wandering too far into grandad jumper territory.
The dark colours go together swimmingly; the white print on the jumper really stands out. The burgundy chinos can be found at topman for £15- and I imagine at River Island and H&M for a similar price. I often worry that I rely too heavily on Doc Marten boots, but is that such a crime when they add a sublime touch of class to any almost any outfit? The trick with DMs is getting the colour right. I chose dark green to go with the jumper, and laced up the boots in dark red to match the trousers- just to show that I put a bit of thought into them, rather than just chucking on the first pair I found. I imagine white laces would have worked well too, but sadly I didn't have any to hand.
The necklace is the true party piece of this outfit. It's a beautiful, spike-adorned chain, with exciting cuboid shapes increasing in order of size up to a nice big one, right in the middle, which never fails to catch light at some angle, drawing attention to the necklace. 'Interesting,' 'nice,' 'fancy,' 'lovely' and 'gorgeous' are all descriptors for this necklace that I hear regularly when I wear it to partys, or even just when I go shopping in it. I hope you like it too!
