I’m loving this style of chunky boyfriend oversized cardigan. Funnily enough, this boyfriend cardi was bought by my boyfriend for my birthday this year. He has very good taste and it was a good present as it’s on the pricier side so I probably wouldn’t have got it for myself even though I’d lusted after it in the shop. The dusky pink colour adds a feminine touch to the mannish cut and it is soo strokable! I absolutely love Urban Outfitters but it’s way too pricey for regular visits. That said now it’s in Edinburgh whenever I’m home it’s hard to stay away from it!
The shorts are UO too, you can’t really tell from the picture but they’re black cord. They’re from the vintage range and are such a wardrobe hard worker, effortlessly stylish and make whatever you wear look instantly up-to-date. They are great for channeling the heritage trend without going all out in Yah-style barbour/ tweed combo. You can tell the Yahs of St Andrews are a bit smug right now as they’re accidentally being trendy, but it’s so obviously their uniform that it’s not genuinely stylish.
I contrasted the boyish cardigan with this lacy cream Topshop top and the waist-emphasising shorts. The top’s sheer with little sparkles over it but I wore a black top underneath for decency’s sake! It’s actually cute and floaty but I tucked it in as it didn’t look right with the high-waisted shorts. Worn with my brogues and slouchy cardigan keeps it dressed down for an easy daytime look.
The pocket-watch necklace adds a touch of fun, I’m lusting after Marc Jacobs’ kooky watch necklaces but now different versions are all over the highstreet. I like the chunky chain and big watch face with the embossed detailing on the back, sadly its battery has ran out though.
