And cue nervous photo face.
Brr! The snow here has finally started to melt away but it's still about -1 during the day, going up to -7 at night, freezing! I completely underpacked for the weather here, bringing only two cardigans with me and one has short sleeves. So imagine my joy when I discovered this old favourite whilst rummaging through my sister's wardrobe! She likes to steal anything I leave behind when I've gone to uni and I hadn't seen this lovely cardigan for years so heaven knows when she nicked it...she's not getting it back, that's for sure! It's more than five years old, I remember buying it for a school trip to London when I was 17, but it's still in pretty good nick. I think it came with a belt but clearly that's long gone...
It's so cosy though, that I wasn't even cold when posing for these pictures, despite the chilly temperatures. I have to say, Nat is a far more patient photographer than Jon is! When he takes my picture I'm lucky to get two at a time, but Nat took loads, bless her, and let me check each one to see if I was happy with it!
I love the massive wooden buttons on it too! Here you can also see my gorgeous watch pendant and if you squint, Barry M Raspberry on my thumbnail.
I also insisted Nat take a close up because I'm wearing my Christmas present from her in my hair - these gorgeous lightning hairpins from Crown & Glory! The glitter doesn't show up so much in these photos but they're so pretty and very Potteresque (yes that is a word).
Wearing: Vero Moda cardigan, C&A t-shirt with lace insert, New Look shorts & brogues, trusty M&S tights (layered!)
Make-up: Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, MeMeMe tint on cheeks, Gosh concealer, NYC powder, Urban Decay liner in Bourbon, L'Oreal Voluminous mascara, Max Factor lip tint.
I love the colour of your cardigan! Its like buying something new when you find an old favourite!
ReplyDeleteI have that Barry M nail varnish too, its my new favourite. Such a lovely colour isn't it? Stains the nails though which is a bit of a bummer!

@Sophie - Yes, it's exactly like buying something new :) and totally agree on the nail varnish, I removed it yesterday and my fingers are still pink! x
ReplyDelete@Amanda - aw thank you! I love the colour of the cardie too :) and the shorts are great but not so good if you've just had a big meal, like I did the day of this post! Ouch! x
