Knitwear with attitude...

...aka jumpers that you'd love if you were 6. 

Which isn't perhaps me doing the best job of selling these to you, but the other day when I was looking for pure cream and off white pieces, I kept coming across ones with a bit of jazz hands about them and thought THESE are the ones I want. 

This is the problem when it comes to fashion.  Do I have one particular style?  Not really.  I would say there are things that I am ludicrously drawn to (print maxis, trainers, biker jackets and blazers spring to mind) but then, there is something totally left field that I think YES.  I need that baby in my life. 

I am a complete fashion magpie. 

Which is where this post comes in.  These jumpers are the perfect antidote to miserable January grey days.  I love matching my outfits to the weather (can I please point out this is not intentional...) and an all grey ensemble definitely works on some days. 

But occasionally it's lovely to stick two fingers up at the weather with a little bit of fun.  The joy of these is that they work perfectly, just chucked into any outfit.  The randomness of them means that they pretty much go with everything - think along the lines of leopard being a neutral...I know it sounds bonkers but you can't over think these.   A neutral outfit pared with one of these is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

Look no further...

Deliciously 80s (was anyone else obsessed with argyle socks?) style.

Argyle Sweater from & Other Stories £59



Not forgetting the navy... and by the way - Spade as in deck of cards, not as in shovel.  It took me possibly longer than it should to have worked this out... (the. shame... there was a lot of zooming in I had to do - didn't even occur to me.  DUH!).

Spade Knit Sweater from & Other Stories in Navy and Gold £69  This is worn with a layer underneath - it doesn't have a cream high neck.



Throwing in this one as I guess I should probably keep it for a slogan jumper post but hey to the ho, it's going in here.  It reminds me of a Sonia Rykiel which I would have had to sell a kidney to buy.  Ok so it's not really the same but.. ish.. not really..ho hum... curiously drawn to it.

Message Knitted Sweater from Mango £39.99



Similarly random but similarly addictive at ASOS. 

Daisy Street Jumper £24.99




And here I am, in a slogan jumper as that's all I have along these lines.  Must try harder on the knitwear front.  This is a new navy one that I was sent as a gift the other day and it's gone straight on.  Embroidered with white writing which says J'Adore.  Couldn't be more up my strada.

Tomorrow I will be back with what was my favourite accessory of last season and set to be going nowhere this SS.  And after that - it's the season for add ons....

Jumper wise - "slightly out there", plain or slogan??
