A little bit of tartan never hurt nobody

When I went to Brighton a couple of days ago to have a look at the new pieces in Primark, the weather destroyed my plan of strolling around the shop for an hour, the rain being so heavy that I was standing in front of the New Look shop along with a group of other people for minutes and minutes. Having come to the conclusion that I'd be spending some more time there anyway due to the weather not improving, I made the wise (and logical!?) decision to go into New Look and have a look around. I used to love going to New Look a couple of years ago, but nowadays I always seem to forget about its existence. While in the shop, this slightly cropped grey sweater with, what I like to call a 'mini turtleneck' , caught my eye and when I went to try it on, I knew I had to have it! It's actually a size 12, (40 in Europe) so it's really not my size at all, but I purposely picked a bigger size, so that it wouldn't be tight or super cropped because after all, I still like to be at least a little bit practical when it comes to Autumn/Winter clothes. Unfortunately, it was quite hard to take good outfit pictures of this outfit as the camera had trouble picking up the mix of light and dark colours, (aka my face vs the coat, ha) but I can already see myself wearing this several times a week, so there'll definitely be better pictures of it at some point.

PS: I did end up going to Primark for a little bit but disappointingly only bought one thing... more abut that in another post!
