Cardigans

For a good few weeks now I've had my eye on quite a few oversized cardigans and whilst browsing on Monki.com I found the perfect one! The Zosia knitted cardigan is £40, and comes in two colours; grey cloud melange, and old ice white. 


I was instantly drawn to the grey cloud melange colour, as it's more my thing and grey is probably one of my favourite colours! My boyfriend was nice enough to buy this for me as an early Valentine's day treat when I was down in London last week. We took a trip to Carnaby Street and found the cardigan which was conveniently right infront of me as we walked into the store. Don't get me wrong I love ordering things online but it's always nicer when you can just walk into a store and get what you want on the spot!

The cardigan is super soft and really cosy, perfect for keeping warm on cold windy days like the day my boyfriend took these outfit pics of me!
I decided to wear my cardigan with my Jamie jeans from Topshop in a bluey grey colour and just a grey oversized tee from ASOS.

I finished the outfit with a pair of chunky boots from New Look, which are super comfortable too! They're sort of like Vagabond dupes but for a fraction of the price and at £24.99 I've got nothing to complain about! I love the chunky base of the boots and the heel is pretty sturdy! The upper is soft as well so there was no uncomfortable wearing in of the boots. 

If you haven't already, then I'd say deffo invest in one of these, it's still pretty cold outside and you can always layer your cardigan under a long coat to stay extra toasty!

Oversized boyfriend coat

So the evenings are slowly getting lighter, but it's not getting any warmer as of yet, this means I will not be parting with my oversized boyfriend coat anytime soon! Originally £98 from Topshop, I waited until it went into the sales at £45 and got it even cheaper than that with my staff discount!


Without a doubt it's been one of my best winter buys, pink has been everywhere this A/W and this coat is an amazing shade of pink, definitely a statement item.
I love to wear darker colours when I'm wearing this coat, so greys, blacks, dark acid wash items.

The colour of the coat is enough to make the outfit pop so whatever you wear with it can be plain. I usually wear my Joni jeans and an oversized tee to keep the boyfriend look going, today I've wore it with minimal accessories and some leopard print slip ons, nice casual look that's also very comfortable.

The tee is from Monki, which is quickly becoming one of my favourite places to shop, there’s only one store in England though so I love to go and have a good browse whenever I’m in London.
