This week I went on a little shopping trip to one of my
favourite shops, River Island. So many things caught my eye, I wanted the whole
shop. Unfortunately unless I marry a millionaire within the next week that’s not
going to happen (it didn’t stop me trying everything on though!)
I did however buy two new items, both jumpers from the
latest range within their Autumn/Winter collection that really stood out from
the rest. These were both jumpers, because you can never have too many at this
time of year.
My first purchase caught my eye because of the overly
festive look it has. It is a nice, fairly thick woolly jumper with just the
right amount of sparkle thrown in. The gold glitter wool, knitted into angular
sections draws your eyes to it. You just instantly fall in love. Whilst this is
such a pretty jumper for festivities, it is also perfect for everyday life when
you fancy releasing your sassy inner glitter queen. The texture of the glittery
wool is a little ‘scratchy’ but this is nothing that couldn’t be solved for
most people by placing a simple cotton ‘cami’ underneath.
Price wise this jumper is on the more expensive side at £38. Even I consider this to be way too expensive for a jumper with a festive touch, but
Price wise this jumper is on the more expensive side at £38. Even I consider this to be way too expensive for a jumper with a festive touch, but
as it can
be worn in many different situations I
think it is justifiable to spend that
little bit extra.
The second buy of the day stood out because of its statement
simplicity. These two words wouldn’t ordinarily be put together but here it
just works. At a glance the jumper looks like your average thick, dark camel
coloured, V-neck jumper. It looks cosy and warm with its big knit but then when
you look closer you see the wrapped, slit sleeves giving this otherwise classic
winter essential an edgy twist. Even though this jumper has the open
shoulder/arm element it is surprisingly warm, making it the perfect jumper for
a winter walk or a lazy day, reading a book by the fire.
At £40, this jumper again is a rather expensive addition to your winter style
options, but this jumper is timeless and classic, even with the design twist
this jumper is unlikely to be going out of fashion anytime soon. The large,
tight knit makes the jumper seem like it is high quality and worth paying for.
It is worth that little extra as it is a jumper that will last.
