Chunky Aran Knit & Fur!!

I love a good vintage knit and a chunky knit is great for wearing on its own when it's not quite cold enough for a knit and coat. My mum actually gave me this Aran cable knit which is hand knitted, it's quite long so long enough for a dress, the sleeves are quite long too so I do have to roll them up a little. I went for quite a simple look and just teamed it with my black fur gilet, which has been such a great item this winter. We've had it quite mild so far so I've barely worn a coat but my gilet is a great alternative and actually keeps me really warm. I wore black fishnets with black fishnet socks and my cherry red Bethans. I kept it simple with accessories with layered chokers/necklaces and a black fedora and my black tassel backpack. It's such a simple look but I really love it and it's such a nice cosy outfit!

Monochrome tartan!!

As you may be aware from my other posts I love a print but I especially love a tartan print! Vintage tartan..even better, I got this black and white tartan vintage skirt from a charity shop for about £4 ages ago, It was too big so I had to adjust the waist a little, but so worth it for that bargain price! I teamed it with a white ribbed off the shoulder top, another bargain for £2 on sale in Primark. I cinched in the waist with a vintage Heart detail belt from Cow, it's gold and silver so I could mix it up with the rest of my accessories, so wore my gold chain detail backpack and silver mood stone layered necklace set. Sticking with the monochrome theme I went for white/sheer socks, black dolly shoes and a black fedora, finishing with black lips with limecrime's black velvet velvetine.

What I'm wearing.... Black velvet!!!

I love velvet and this time of year is the perfect time to wear it, as it is a quite thick material so can get a bit hot at times. I got this fabulous polo neck velvet top with gold studded detail from a charity shop last year. It still had the original labels in and I've only just took them off to wear it for the first time when I wore this outfit. I decided to team it with a black velvet skater skirt to make it look a bit like a dress. I cinched in the waist with a chunky buckle detail belt and a gold detail vintage bag to tie in. I wore forest green tights so it wasn't too dark and to separate the black as I wore my over the knee boots. I finished it off with a coin detail headband, I am obsessed with these at the minute and they really help to jazz an outfit up instead of Jewellery.

The Jazzy Jumper!!!

I'm a massive fan of vintage fashion as you may already know and one of the reasons is you can find fabulous one off gems that nobody else has. This jazzy jumper is one of those gems, I got it a couple of years ago but love to get it back out in winter. It is a mohair/knit mix in bright multicoloured stripes with textured/glitter detail. I love the baggy oversized fit and it's long enough to be a dress which I love. I wore it over lace detail cycling shorts as although it can be a dress it's a rather short one so I needed to protect my modesty. I teamed it with my knee high boots to keep my legs warm. I went for a 3 way headband, tattoo choker and layered mood stone/sunflower necklace to accessorise, finished off with my chain detail backpack.
