I thought I’d use today’s post for a little life update. I’ve been waiting for ages to share these images… I couldn’t before because this patchwork cardigan I’m wearing wasn’t available, until now. It’s a sample that I wore on a recent work trip to Cambridge with some lovely blogger ladies. It’s been six months now that I’ve been in my social media role at Jigsaw and I’ve learnt so much and met many great people in such a short space of time. This trip to Cambridge was a particular highlight – we went punting, explored the quintessential British city in the sunshine and dined like queens at the University Arms Hotel’s restaurant, Parker’s Tavern (you can read my piece on the trip over on the Jigsaw Blog).
Back to the outfit: this patchwork cardigan is one of my favourite pieces from Jigsaw’s AW18 collection. Knitted in a chunky rib and styled with a V-neckline, it is the perfect layering piece for winter, as well as looking great worn as a top as I did on this surprisingly warm autumn day.
What I love about this outfit is how all the colours work so well together. I tucked the cardi into this second hand Topshop Boutique silk skirt whose greyish blue colour goes perfectly with the blue hue in the patchwork cardigan. I accessorised with my Coach saddle bag as its burgundy colour pairs well with the cardigan’s purple tone sections. I finished off the look with my patent white ankle boots and matching white nails to add a fresh colour to this otherwise tonal look.
Just a short one from me today. I’m feeling a little uninspired with writing at the moment but I am loving autumnal styling so the outfit posts will keep coming! See you next week X
