MINT.

jumper: sportsgirl
tank: general pants
jacket: dotti
leggings: river island
necklace: sportsgirl

I bought this jacket a week ago and I haven't taken it off since. It's the perfect leather jacket for me as I feel cropped jackets suit my body type and are generally more flattering on me. Pastels have really grown on me so when I saw this jumper I practically ran to the till. The girl in the store said it had been popular and I'm not surprised at all, it's so comfortable and is thick but not too thick so will be great as a layering piece through winter. I'm usually a XS/S but grabbed a M in this as I like knits slightly over sized - to allow for layering and because I just don't feel comfortable in clothes that cling to me.

These leggings are the absolute best leggings around. Why? Because after numerous washes they have retained their colour and look as good as they did when I bought them. I've been disappointed with other leggings that lose their colour quickly and fade to a horrible grey black. I took advantage of the free international shipping offer from river island over the weekend and ordered myself two more pairs of these.

This outfit will definitely be a favourite of mine through winter. I like layering as when the weather turns during the you can add or take from the outfit until you're comfortable. Although I dress for comfortI do still like to look nice. This jacket / jumper combo hits the stylish-yet-comfortable nail on the head for me.

    1. Hi. Thank-you. I love the white skinny jeans in your most recent post. How do you keep them clean? Everything I own that's white is now a gross grey colour :/
