My grey sweater is by Soaked In Luxury at Coco Marie and I haven't taken it off since I got it. I've been wearing it with jeans, little flippy skirts, office trousers and even tying it around my waist as an accessory, so even at £59 it's probably already down to about a tenner in pounds per wear ;) Soaked In Luxury is literally just that, all their casual jersey pieces are so soft and comfortable it's unreal so they're well worth the money. This is a size L and it's just the right shape and length for me. It's perfect for this unpredictable errr, 'summer' we're having right now, not too heavy but not too light - Goldilocks.
Outfit: Sweater - Soaked In Luxury c/o Coco Marie, Jeans - Wildfox, Jacket - Ruby Rocks, Shoes - c/o Inkkas, Bracelet - A Midnight Wonderland, Watch - Casio Sheen.
Check out the pretty lace detail on the shoulders. I actually put my hair up a lot more when I'm wearing this to give shoulder browsers a thrill ;) It gives it a a bit of a summery feminine look, which is what allows it to work so well with skirts I think. You'll definitely be seeing more of this one as the weather picks up - yey!
I thought the neutral grey worked really well with my new Inkkas shoes, which are a cute pair of patterned showstoppers by themselves! Inkkas are made in Peru from authentic, local fabrics by skilled local producers. We instantly fell in love with this brand as Tara brought back a stackload of cute local bits from her travels in Peru, and seeing these colours and patterns brings back such good memories!
They're so comfortable and have attracted quite a few admiring glances from fellow shoppers. These are the Inkkas Coyote Slant Top (£60) and can be found online or exclusively at Topshop Oxford Circus.
The awesome thing about Inkkas is that, aside from being super stylish and ethically sourced, for every pair bought they plant a tree in South America - the One Shoe One Tree Project. So that's something else to feel good about as you lace up :)
So I'm back to work now and hating life as per. I wish I could always dress in my 'own clothes' every day like this. I mean, it's not like I have to wear a uniform, but office trousers are soooooo restrictive and I find it difficult to be fashionably imaginative at 7am in the morning . . .
J - Peru-se my wardrobe.
I'd never heard about Inkkas before but they look amazing - such a great fun way to add a bit of color to any outfit! :o) Xx
