COFFEE BREAK
Coffee, crisp air and cosy clothes – it’s what wintry weekends are all about. Though I’m ready for for some warmer weather to arrive (I was ready before summer even ended last year haha ..!) one of the things I love best about winter is getting to wear coats and jumpers every day. I get my hibernation mode on and pretty much live in the grey vintage jumper I’m wearing in these shots. You probably wouldn’t guess but this jumper is actually one of my most treasured possessions – my mum wore it when she was pregnant with me and looking after me as a baby, which is maybe why I always feel so comforted as soon as I pull it on, as though I’m cosying up in something so filled with love. It’s a precious thought.
Newer pieces I’m wearing here and quickly falling in love with are my tartan coat from Forever 21 (I’ve sworn by Forever 21 this winter season, so impressed with their range and on-point styles, and hope it’ll be the same with their new season collections) and slinky leather-look jeans from 7 For All Mankind. If like me you’ve been hunting for a pair, you can shop mine from Repertoire Fashion in their winter sale. I’ve been loving the super low waist after what feels like an eternity living in high-waisted jeans. My bellybutton has been freed! x

Aww I love pieces of clothing that have a story! The jumper looks great on you!
I wish Forever 21 would hurry up and come to Leeds, online shopping just isn’t the same as shopping in store for me! I love the coat and the entire look (you’re so right about the freedom of lower waist jeans!)

Thanks Becki! I do most of my shopping online actually, but it can be hit and miss for sure x
I love that your mum wore that jumper when she was pregnant with you! How adorable but yes, I’d never ever have guessed that it wasn’t a newish jumper because it looks like it is in such great condition! You and your mum obviously look after it well.
We do! It’s cashmere so she’s taught me how to look after it 🙂 I can’t believe it’s stayed so well though as I literally wear it every day in winter, it’s so warm! x
That is so lovely that you wear you mums jumper! I looks lovely on you. I also love your coat xx

I adore your coat! Have you ever thought about getting bangs? because you would look GREAT with them
Aw thanks! I’m not sure I’d like them as I usually have to wear my hair back off my face most of the time when I work, but I’d love to give them a try some day! x
Look how simple and casual this look is and the sunlight is so beautiful in these photos xxx
