OK I’ve cheated a bit! The weather is glorious here today and there is no way you would find me in this chunky jumper…but, this is one of the items I have been wearing most recently, up until yesterday when we were welcomed by this freakishly pleasant heat wave in England.
There are so many parts to this outfit I am desperate to talk about, but putting them all together has made me even more excited. I think Sleeping Beauty and Carlton both featured quite strongly subconsciously in my inspiration.
I will lay off the jeans description, as I wore them in my last OOTD post (sorry, but I they are my new favs). I will just say, they are from a charity shop, fit me perfectly, are like new and are super high waisted Wrangler’s. I love the mom style jean.
This candy pink jumper is from Primark of course. I love the cable knit pattern and I feel like this looks so much more expensive than the few pounds it was. I bought it in a large as I wanted a super cosy oversized fit. Underneath I am wearing a pale pink t-shirt.
My smart shoes gave me the inspiration to tuck in my jumper (is that the teacher in me coming through?) I’ve never done this before but it works because the mom jeans are a less fitted style like the jumper, but cinche me in at the waist to give me curves. And how have I not spoken about these shoes yet?! They are bright pink and shiny and have a kind of preppy vibe. They are from Topshop.
I love the sparkly and dainty accessories I’ve put together here. I think they really elevate the look and make it unique. I’m wearing a skinny gold metallic snakeskin belt to match the gold jewellery. This super cute, delicate chain and pearl choker is from Primark and so are the gold hoops (which I wear most days). I never thought I would wear socks with these shoes either, but I couldn’t help it, the socks are just too cute! They are from a pack of three from Primark and are Harry Potter Honeydukes socks. They have glittery frogs on!
Finally, it was a bit cold that day so I put on this furry dalmation print coat from Missguided. It’s quite bold but because it’s black and white it goes with most things.
I’m not sure how to describe this outfit as a whole. I feel like it’s a bit preppy and smart but then also casual because of the jeans. It’s confusing but I think that’s what makes it special. I don’t know if I could wear it to work because of the jeans. How silly is that?!
P.S. Special thanks to my assistant Esmerelda the cat, and thank you for matching my outfit so effortlessly.
Til next time…
