She My Nap Queen
20 December 2016
West Yorkshire, UK
I'm like hey, wassup,
hello…. There’s something about cosy sweatshirts that just makes me unbelievably
happy. Comfort is key when it comes to my fashion sense, I don’t think looking
good is worth it if you’re in pain. Luckily, with my latest buy, I can look
great and feel better.
Sweatshirts give me a really weird memory of primary school,
because I’d always wear one over a polo shirt and it was my pride and joy. I
had them in secondary school too, but I didn’t enjoy those years as much as my
childhood ones. Coconut Lane is one of my
favourite stores for sassy sayings and bad-ass-ness. So when I found out they
were selling clothing, of course I got the first thing I fell in love with. It
was actually really hard for me to choose, because I secretly wanted all of
them. In the end, I chose the Nap Queen sweatshirt, because Trap Queen was
basically my anthem when it was released
and we all know I could sleep for the country. The amount of times I’ve said “I’m
super lazy” on my blog is just embarrassing, but I finally found a shirt to
suit me.
Now that winter’s in full swing, I basically sleep in a full
outfit, so this sweatshirt has become key for me. It’s so cosy and warm, the
lining is almost like being wrapped in a blanket! The jumper is mainly cotton,
which is where most of the warmth comes from. It’s a natural fibre that is a must for winter. I definitely won’t be
wearing this jumper just to head to bed, I’ll be wearing this around the house,
with my favourite skinny jeans and probably on a night out! I love the cool
phrases featured on most of Coconut Lane’s products (check out my post on their
wall art here) and find it hard to refrain from buying basically everything on
their site. There are quite a few blogger-themed prints, notebooks, sweatshirts
and more. Plus, big bonus: I have a discount code to share! Yaaaaaaaaaaaasssss.

Woolly Winter
7 December 2016
West Yorkshire, UK
Winter fashion means one thing for me, bring on the jumpers.
They’re such an amazing fashion piece, and the thicker or cosier, the better. I
feel like I have an endless supply of jumpers all over my house, from the
amazing oversized knits to the slightly-too-small/too-scared-to-throw-away
jumper. As I live in the North, I can basically wear jumpers in the summer, but
chillier days means I can bring out the big guns.
Sadly, I can’t wear 100% wool because it irritates my skin,
but this doesn’t stop me! I love the cosy and warm feeling a wool blend adds to
jumper, so it’s the one thing I look for. Over time, I’ve been running out of
ways to style jumpers, until I came across a look on Pinterest, and wanted to try it out
myself. It reminds me a little bit of the drop-waist trend, and I’m feeling it!
All I needed was a jumper (check), a skater skirt (check),
and over the knee boots…(check)! One thing I noticed, was that the jumper was
oversized and almost as long as the skirt, so I basically copied this look. It’s
something a little different for me, but I really like the unique look. I haven’t
worn a skater skirt since they were the huge Tumblr trend back in ’08. Still, I
hold onto little gems like this cotton number because it’s a timeless closet
essential, and I can pair it with most items in my closet.
Similarly, over-the-knee boots are a new must for me. I was never into them
before, until I got my fair pair and now I wear them everywhere. I adore these
boots because they have a smaller heel, so I can still wear them in a formal
setting without ending up with burning feet!

There are some items in my closet that I can never let go of, either because they have a sentimental touch or a significant memory I like to remember attached to them. With this jumper, it was the first item I bought on a shopping trip with my friends when I was only twelve. This may not seem like a very big deal, but when I was younger, shopping trips to the city centre were a huge thing, especially when there were no parents. It's a lot different now and tweens seem to be skipping the awkward pink jeans stage I went through. Surprisingly, this jumper still fits as I bought a large size all those years ago. It has stuck with me and stayed in great condition ever since. The sweater slowly became my favourite, and during the winter I would wear it just about everywhere.

Today's jumper is one that I have had for a very long time, but just cannot let go. When I first bought the jumper I never wore it. I thought it clashed with my skin tone rather than complimented it and I didn't think the style was that flattering on my body shape. Immediately, it went to the back of my wardrobe and I didn't see it for a while. However, as autumn and winter rolls in, and I live in the north, I'm wearing thicker clothes nearly every day and came across this abandoned sweater from Next. I'm not totally sure what I was thinking a few years ago, but my mind has definitely changed. The cotton is very thick but not too heavy which makes this jumper great for today as the weather isn't too chilly. I also love the woven detail that doesn't stick to a set pattern which gives the outfit some texture. The white paired with pink makes the overall jumper seem lighter and brightens up my look. This top is the statement piece for my outfit so I chose my favourite charcoal jeans and dark accessories so they don't take away from the lovely colour.
