There’s nothing like the perfect pink to throw some light into otherwise gloomy January days. This vest was a gift (as in a proper present from my mum, rather than ‘gifted’) and it’s just a delight. I’ve been looking and looking for the right knitted vest, spotted this on M&S just before Christmas so my mum ordered it. Actually, it’s been on a round-Britain trip – she ordered it from Scotland to be delivered to my sister in Yorkshire who brought it to me in London. So well travelled :-)).
I bought some Levi 725 High Rise Boot Cut Jeans (28/30 – perfect fit a week ago but Christmas has caught up with me and they’re a tiny bit snug for the moment – I’m persevering!) in a light blue (see below) and I’m wearing the vest with those and a shirt. It looks spring like but feels winter warm.
I never thought you could break me out of skinny jeans but those H&M flares (which I have worn nearly to death and very glad I doubled up and bought two pairs) set me on a new path. You could also wear the vest with a lightweight (thermal?) polo neck or crew neck as well as a t-shirt although I do not understand warm body/cold arms – or even over a dress. My vest is a size 12/14 and it’s got the right level of drop and looseness for me. It also comes in black and is £45.
