Cable Jumper with Roll Neck-Asos, Pink Check oversized Scarf- New Look, Jeepers Peepers Cage Round Sunglasses- Asos, Black Snakeskin Chunky Heeled Boot- New Look, Circular Gold Earrings - New Look, Blue Ripped Jeans - Sheinside, Sheepskin Coat- once belonged to my mother.
It's no secret that winter pastels are my current obsession. I made the most of the ASOS sale, and picked up this absolutely stunning mint green cable knit turtle neck. It's 100% cotton, which I couldn't say no to, most people who know me well know that I detest cheap, uncomfortable fabrics that make you sweat and itch, so I love nothing more than a soft but stylish sweater that really feels like it was worth the £20 (I would have gladly paid more). Like most bloggers/fashion appreciators I can't get enough of the sassy yet somewhat very 90's vibe the high neck knit gives off- It's something that Monica, Phoebe or Rachel could have easily worn in the earlier days of Friends, and to be honest it reminds me of my childhood and everything warm and cosy I associate with my younger years.
The oversized scarf that can double up as a cape, and just about anything else is probably one of my pieces of the season. It is the perfect ode to my winter pastel obsession and I found myself throwing it over just about everything because it's bloody freezing here. I think I'm enjoying it so much as it's an unusual piece for winter- colour wise- where most scarves this season are dark reds, greens and blues, this lifts the tone and monotony of a winter morning because the colours are so fresh and spring-like. I picked this baby up in the New Look Sale for £6- surely that's the bargain of the season too?
I think it has become blatantly clear that I'm a gold person, silver just doesn't cut it for me- It does nothing for my complexion etc. plus I just feel so darn sassy and queen-like in gold and these shades are no exception. These were another bargainous piece from the ASOS sale by a brand called Jeepers Peepers who stock a wide selection of awesome sunglasses on the site. These just had my name written all over them, they simply add instant Italian elegance to pretty much any outfit, even a grey sweater and ripped black jeans.
I kept the rest of the ensemble fairly light in colour with some ripped blue mom jeans for textural interest and a real cream sheepskin coat for that much needed element of luxe. To contrast this some good old (but new) black platform heels and a very vintage inspired faux snakeskin satchel style bag- I'm going texture crazy people!
Let me know what you're loving deep in the midst of this winter season...
Much Love,
Ev
