At the minute I'm working in my Dad's shop Snappy Snaps whilst I look for a 'science job'. The uniform at work is black and includes a promotional tshirt but me being me I like to bend the rules normally. For once I felt like actually wearing black so I wore my new jumper.
I saw this jumper when I was in Ireland but when I saw the price tag I decided not too buy it. The other day I finally checked my bank balance after weeks of ignorance and to my surprise I actually had some funds so decided to buy it after all. It's actually huge, I got a size 12 and it's massive!! I love the little crystals but I'm scared their going to fall off. The skirt is velvet and I think I got it in a closing down sale for a couple of quid. I like the different texture together and think they just add a little interest to a 90% black outfit, the knit is chunky and the velvet is shiny. I have a sheer cape like shirt on underneath and adore it's little Peter Pan collar. I have my eye on loads of ASOS shirts with this favourite accessory, I just can't get enough of them!
I've been working all weekend which is a drag but money is money so I can't complain. There are so many things I want but I have to be good. Contemplating trying to save up for a Mulberry Alexa after seeing them up close and personal in Liberty of London for the millionth time on Friday but I know I'll try and fail!!
Hope your weekend was more fun than mine x

I love how you've paired this with the Peter Pan collar, I have a similar jumper and should try this out! I definitely agree that mixing up different black textures can really add interest to an outfit, I love pairing things like lace and leather together.
ReplyDeletelove the jumper! great buy! was it one of those where.. if you don't buy it.. you WILL regret it for the rest of your life? ahaha..
ReplyDeletei've been contemplating saving for a vivienne westwood bag for about 2 years and it's never happened! i wish somebody would just bloody buy me one.. haha!
