OOTD: Chunky Knit Cardigans

Hey Girls and Boys!

I hope you've all had fantastic weekends? I didn't really do too much except a bit of shopping and I finally got around to watching Avatar. I also spent most of Saturday afternoon taking pictures for the blog, I still haven't got the DSLR working so these are with my Samsung Digital Camera but they're not too bad. 


This outfit is pretty much made-up totally of Primark bits and pieces (I've only just realised that) and my new favourite thrifted cardigan.


I'm not really sure about these boots, I think they make my legs look especially short and dumpy, and since I've purchased yet another pair of lace-up boots from H&M on Saturday, I might take these back (I haven't worn them out yet).


I'm quite excited about Saturday's purchases actually, apart from the boots I also bought a cute black and white polka dot tea dress and some black paper bag shorts from H&M and a blue and white embroidered cardigan and a pretty floral laptop bag from Primark.

Don't forget to check out my giveaway if you haven't already!

I really like your outfit and I love the mustard colour for these colder months. I think the boots look really good on you. I've got a mustard colour smock top that I've had for a few years now that I've dug out for winter.

I love your cardi the color is so pretty and Wuthering Heights I had a hard time reading but onn the other hand Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte was such a good book... I adore English authors especially from the 1700's and 1800's they are so good.The American authors from the that era were really good as well.

Alex said...

Oh you look gorgeous. It's the sort of thing I'd love to wear but I just never buy that sort of dress because they scare me! I'm no good with sheer fabrics. The tights however, I'm definitely getting some of them.

And your legs look amazing. Don't go taking the boots back!
