Knits and Knee Highs

 

Knit - Mum's 'hand-me-down'
Suede Jacket - East End Thift Store (£1!!!!)
Knee Highs - Public Desire through Amazon


Hi all,
I know I haven't blogged for ages but now the majority of my ucas process is out of the way so I have a little more time which means I am back. Oh how I have missed you all... Welcome back me! 

So I was riffling through my mums draws today (lol) to try and find an oversized jumper to wear with these boots to go out for lunch and I came across this beauty! I absolutely love it, the colours are great and I do love a good knit. There's actually a picture of her wearing this jumper when she's about 20 something in my house so I felt it was perfect to re-create. I bought these boots from Amazon over the Christmas holidays but I have hardly had a chance to wear them as it's been way too cold to do this and I think they look weird with midi dresses. Unfortunately, not being blessed with long legs tends to dictate what I wear shoes with. And as a true short person, these sorts of boots can only be worn with something big and smothering to balance them out. Ah, voila.. Big colourful knit. They are actually a little big for me, so I'm thinking about selling them to buy a new pair. If you like them and are a size 3/4 holla ya girl.

I'm a big believer in thift sales, whether you find something good (I always do) or not.. it normally costs the hefty £1 entry and the clothes are £1 each. They're always really grimy and in the oddest parts of London, but if you know one is happening near you they're worth going to. Actually on that note, I know the East End Thift Store is having one really soon, but for better updates than mine ha, just go follow their facebook page (click the above link for it). So anyway, I got this beautiful crushed suede jacket from one, real suede.. £1. Madness. The only issue is that it does smell like someone has died in it, but I am aiming to dry clean that out asap so I can wear it in public because I love it.

On that note, ta for visiting!
Big loves as always
Mis
