Burgundy jumper & blazer - Chicandstylish Linkup

Morning all. 

Hope it’s going well for you all. 

Hasn’t the weather been funny? Just can’t seem to make its mind up. I’m going out in jeans and a jumper or jacket and having to take layers off by the afternoon and sometimes it’s the opposite, starting off in lightweight clothes and having to put a jumper on to warm up! I’m not sure I’m fond of this in-between time!

I’ve worked hard over the past few days, leaving little time to get blog posts, photos and social media sorted, you see I’ve been painting at my daughter’s house. Everything is being painted white and I’ve been doing what I can which has been quite tiring - but I love it. You start with a mist coat, which is half paint half water and I’ve been covered nearly head to foot with the stuff, it’s so sloppy (if you’ve ever done this before you’ll know what I’m talking about)! Upstairs is almost ready for carpets, so moving in date is edging nearer although I’m not sure they’ll be in before the baby arrives … in November!! I’ll keep you posted as to how that goes my friends. 

So let’s talk burgundy, are you a fan? I had a jumper a few years ago but that went to charity and because it was the only thing that matched this grey blazer I’ve hardly ever worn it! Well that changed when I came home with this skinny rib top from Sicily. 🍇

… it was a bit of a spur-of-the-moment purchase, the ones we make without giving any thought to what it would be worn with!!

The jumper came from a store called OVS in Savoca, it’s an Italian brand that I bought a cute shirt with a frilly neck and cuff from when I went to Venice. It’s a reasonably priced shop as the jumper cost under £30 (similar), so I bought a chunky necklace from them too - I’ll show you that soon. 

So yes it’s Jean season now. I’m going to try to not put  them all the time, but they’re just so easy to wear when the weather is cooler aren’t they! I’ve got so many pairs hanging in my wardrobe and really need to sort through them as lots either don’t fit or aren’t flattering on me anymore. The wide leg styles are my favourites and I’ve got three pairs so far but have my eye on another pair with a wide turn up in F & F - as they say “watch this space my friends”. Mine are from M & S earlier this year, they’re a darker wash that looks nice with colours like burgundy, brown and navy. M&S offer different lengths so I picked this shorter length which is perfect for trainers and flats. Talking of trainers did you notice my Adidas Samba’s? I love them! They are so flippin’ comfy and look so good on. I really feel quite trendy in mine and now I’ve got these I want more colours … lol!

So I told you I bought the jumper to wear with this blazer. I have to be honest and let you know I bought the grey blazer, that has a burgundy stripe running through it, from Peacocks, it was part of the Louise Rednapp collection and it was a bit of a spur-of-the-moment purchase, the ones we make without giving any thought to what it would be worn with!! lol I know! Anyway I retrieved it from the charity and Vinted pile vowing to find something to wear it with … hey presto the skinny rib top was the winning piece - do let me know if you like my look in the comments box. ⬇️⬇️

I grabbed the only bag I knew would look good with this and it just so happens it’s my youngest daughters’ it’s a cute little bag with gold hardware and a long gold strap to wear it on the shoulder, but I like using it as a clutch bag.
