'Cause I Think This Could Be More, The Thing I'm Looking For...

Things I Love - March!!
Primark Grey Shawl Cardigan - £8

Hey everyone!!
I'm feeling quite rough today.
No I didn't go on an all nighter last night and got completely off my face!!
I don't even have the stamina for that...
No unfortunately I have a coldy/flu thing which I hate and now I feel like absolute death. Now I know I had a runny nose last week; but after being caught in the snow/hail it's got worse. I now feel achey, runny nose, cough, sore throat - the works!! I have taken medicine but I still feel like crap and it doesn't help that tomorrow is my first day back at work. It's just typical that I'm actually ill when I go back to work - not fair.
Anyway...
Now I know I only bought this cardigan just over a week ago; but I am absolutely in love with it. Just like last months 'Things I Love', I have worn this cardigan on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday since I bought it. I think it's because this is such a versatile piece and even though it's grey, I will literally wear this with everything. The only problem is most of the outfits I have planned are for spring and summer. But oh well I will have to live with just layering it - like that’s a hardship. Another thing I love about this cardigan is it's similarity to the American Apparel Moda Shawl Cardigan. The only difference between the two is the Primark one is a thinner knit then the AA one - oh and the price. The funny thing is I was going to save up and buy the AA one; but when I actually found this cardigan in my size that idea went out the window. This cardigan was a tricky bugger to hunt down, as my local Primark only seemed to cater for stick insects and only had XS (not that there's anything wrong with being a stick insect). I kept going back for at least a month hoping to find this in my size; but alas no luck so I gave up on the idea. When I was in Leeds last week I didn't even think about looking for this item; but when Jaime and I went in to Primark it's all I could focus on. I literally scanned the whole of the knitwear and when I found it I literally ran to it. When I found my size (L just in case you were wondering) I was so happy!! I grabbed it and I think I held on to it a little too tightly. For £8 it was an absolute steal and well worth the money. I apologise again if you see this cardigan a lot; but I honestly can't imagine not wearing this with every outfit (apart from work). I think I've written more about this cardigan then any other item I own.
I may have actually fallen in love with a piece of clothing...nope not creepy at all!!
I think this proves - good things come to those who wait.
