Felt Like Love Struck Me In The Night...

Things I Love - February!!

Hey All!!
I've had the worst couple of days of my life!!
Now I know I'm prone to exaggeration but honestly these past few days have really tested me. Now I know that these events have literally broken me and pushed me to the limit; but I think I'm going to come out on the other side. Now even though I did go to work on Sunday and yesterday, I was literally too tired and drained to take photo outfits (sorry). So I thought I would do the 'Things I Love' post today as something different.
Let's get to it...
I think if you've been reading my blog for over a week you will definitely recognise this jumper. Yes this is the black New Look jumper that I have not stopped wearing!! I've literally worn this Sunday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday - this is the most I've worn an item in the space of a week. I think it's safe to say that I am not only in love; but obsessed with this chunky knit. Considering I've only had this for a week, I honestly don't remember a time when I didn't. How is that possible?? I wanted to purchase a chunky knit without paying the Topshop or Miss Selfridge prices. The saying 'when you're not looking for it, you'll find it' is so true in this case. Causally one day I was browsing the New Look website when I stumbled upon this jumper. I think I had a heart attack or something; because I was not expecting to see a jumper like this for £20. I didn't get it then because as usual I had spent my earnings on frivolous stuff. I kept it saved on my favourites just in case; but I literally just kept forgetting. I even saw it in my local store but again I had been naughty and decided not to get it. When Charlie and I went to Tunbridge Wells, I made a point of hunting this down and buying it. I will say their New Look is so small and this jumper was right in the corner. I did have a moment where I thought they didn't have my size, but the fashion gods were smiling down on me and they did. I nearly got an 18 but it would have been too baggy, as the 16 is baggy but it still has shape to it. I love this jumper it just seems to go with everything. My new obsession at the moment is layering and especially in this weather it's a good look. The collection of shirts I have has grown to a sufficient amount, so I will apologise now if you see this jumper more then you should. 
I just think it's appropriate that, the first official outing this jumper got was paired up with last months 'Things I Love' my Romwe leggings.
It really proves that you find the best items in the unlikeliest places.
