Backwards, Floral, Stripes and Black

Photo Tips Friday will be back in two or three weeks when I’ve prepared some more posts for you all, plus!

I have some exciting things coming up this week, not least a *giveaway* with TEN prizes up for grabs – come back to check it out on Sunday! In the meantime…

Isn’t it great to fall back in love with something in your wardrobe that you were either going to throw out or just hadn’t worn in ages? This sweater had actually been consigned to my nightwear drawer along with my PJs – it was comfy and loose but was cut far too low at the front for daytime to look presentable. (Don’t worry, I always layered it with something underneath…!) I’ve realised the low v-neck look has now long since passed, with all the round neck sweaters and Peter Pan collars so many of us love so much.

So for some unknown reason, a couple of weeks ago I spontaneously decided to unpick the annoyingly tight wide ribbing at the bottom (which had started to come undone via a hole anyway) and simply wear it backwards. I love how it makes the back the feature of the outfit, though you get a little preview of the vivid striped top at my shoulders from the front. It does tend to fall off my shoulders a lot, but I’ll forgive it for the “Kids from Fame” feeling I get…!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend 🙂
