The H&M silver knit

As I'm writing this, it's a bit too cold for my liking (both inside and outside my flat - why my heating never seems to work properly when I need it most I'll never know!). It's time to swap the summer dresses and shorts for cosy knits and winter coats. Which I actually don't really mind as I like wrapping up and being warm. Anyway, I don't actually own too many jumpers, but one of my favourites is this silver knit from H&M. Please excuse my undone hair.

 
Jumper: H&M
Necklace: H&M
Jeggings (oh how I loathe that word)/denim leggings: Topshop
Converse
Not pictured: Primark army jacket, same as a few posts back

I bought it around Christmas last year and while I can never say no to a bit of glitter and sparkle I thought it was also appropiately festive enough for the season at the time. Fast forward a year later and I can safely say I've gotten my money's worth! It's one of my most worn items. As a child I detested what I would call 'statty' (itchy) jumpers, which my mum made me wear (thanks mum!), however this jumper is far from uncomfortable in any way, it's super soft which is why I wear it so much! I really do hope H&M will bring out more jumpers like this!

Hope you're all having a good week so far :)

A walk in the park & Converse

I have invested in some new Converse for the first time in - well, years.


As a teen I had multiple pairs and wore them to death but threw them out/gave them away when they were too battered to be considered presentable and my love for ballerina flats & heels grew. However, I realized in recent months that I didn't really own any sneakers, except for the odd pair I use for running or going to the gym in (which is, I'll be honest, never). These, however, go with almost anything and are good for those days when you just can't be bothered in anything more complicated on your feet :) As you can see, I got them in white but let's see how long they stay white for!

Literally a few metres away from my flat is this really cute little park, which is referred to as a 'neighbourhood garden' (based on the idea that everyone can 'share' it, I suppose). I knew it was there but had forgotten about it until today - it's very zen and peaceful, aside from the odd few kids running around screaming. I sense a new location for future OOTD's!






Hope you all have a lovely Friday!
