the end of the warm months

It is nearing the end of the warmer segment of the year and swiftly reaching my favourite part: jumper season! Although wearing minimal clothing and sunbathing for hours on end is fun, my comfort zone is 100% with cosy jumpers and (faux) fur.

One fashion breakthrough that seems to be across the board for all designers is the knitted two-piece. At this time I am uncertain whether I'd be comfortable wearing both a knitted jumper AND knitted trousers.. HOWEVER, if Karl Lagerfeld is digging the over sized jumper and knitted leggings then I guess it shouldn't be questioned. Right? 

Marc Jacobs

Chanel

Although I am not keen on the two-piece knit, I am very keen on jumpers (as you may already know). Zara is beyond amazing every single time and NEVER fails to impress. I picked up this lovely jumper that also comes in pink and blue I do believe. £39.99 

And finally, I am very into the smart sports-wear kinda look that has been going on recently. Smart tracksuit bottoms/ joggers are like the smartest idea ever so I praise whoever came up with that idea!

Charity shop shenanigans.

Charity shops or 'thrift' shops. They're cheap, they're quick and they actually contain some really good stuff... Not to mention the fact you're giving money to charity! It's a win-win situation in which ever you look at it! Who would refuse a new jacket for 99p? I certainly wouldn't!

At first I was hesitant of shopping in charity shops due to the one simple factor that the clothes were second hand... Who knows where they could have previously been! Buttttt....... they can be washed, right? And despite the common known myth that charity shops contain clothes than old people have died in... I refuse to believe it. In fact, one jumper I own from a charity shop smells SOOOOOOO good that I never want to wash it. Sad, I know.

Here are my 3 tips for shopping in charity shops:

1) If you see something you like, just buy it. It's probably less money than a Gregg's sausage roll.

2) If you find something you like.. but it doesn't fit: take it home and alter it. 

(buy jeans, make them into shorts)

3) Check the pockets!!! One time I found a fiver! 

Happy shopping!
