jumper: topshop
skirt: H&M
nails: barry m cyan blue
My hair today is bad (although I know you'll all say its fab). I hate how weirdly it photographs at the moment. Like its really weird orange colour, when in reality its actually quite blonde. Damn you photos. Nothing intresting today, I was pretty late on all these lush oversized cuffed jumpers Topshop had done this A/W. Very much regret not buying them in every colour as they are so cute and easy to wear. This one is studded with little gems. I bought it to wear on Christmas Day, but after washing it, its started to give off a really weird odour. Like rusty metal? Im tempted to try return it as thats really not right?
Found out today that I have 71 hours (4 weeks) holiday to take before the end of March at work. Words cannot express how happy that makes me. I was only expecting like 2 weeks at most, but 4. It really made my day! Although I know I wont be doing anything exciting as I have so many deadlines for university coming up!








i love your hair! though you say you don't. i'm really tempted to ombre mine again even though last time i done it i wrecked the ends and my hairdresser hacked it all over telling my it was dry haha.
ReplyDeletethis is a a lovely jumper, i love topshop jumpers but can't bear to pay £50 for the one i want atm.

I have the same jumper but without the gems, definitely regret not getting the grey and cream colour as well at the time. I really like the shape and it's really warm, though the neck on mine has stretched quite a bit...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all the time off when you take it, how I miss paid holiday...
I love studded jumpers like this, though the rusty smell is definitely not on - return!!
ReplyDeleteThe prospect of four weeks off is awesome - at least that's one thing off your mind for now!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog :)

Really like your jumper, it has got a really nice vintage feel to it even though it is from Topshop. Rust smelly isn't too good though... have you tried washing it again? Or just return :)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely treat yourself to a weeks chillaxing time out of those holidays!
I'm in love with that jumper. Congrats on the vaca time! Thats so exciting!
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd bought this jumper, I'd been eyeing it up for aaaages but didn't buy it for some odd reason. like you said there so easy to wear!!
ReplyDeleteI have the same jumper and it gave off that odour too. It does disappear after a couple of washes/airings I promise, but it's a bit off-putting initially.
ReplyDeleteI love the jumper, it's a shame to hear it's not quite right after being washed though. I'm rather jealous of the fact you get 4 weeks holiday from work as well x
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about woman? Your hair is always looks gorgeous! I wish I could have hair like yours =)
ReplyDeletei love that jumper, i never think i can wear them though because the seem to make me look bigger then i am! <3
ReplyDeleteI love your hair! Never say you don't like them again!!!
ReplyDeleteThat jumper is awesome!

I have this jumper but in white/cream! I was lucky enough to find it in the sale for £25 immediately after christmas :-) happy days! You look lovely as always x
ReplyDeletefirst thought when i saw the photos: "gosh, I love her hair". your first words: "My hair today is bad". ;-P
ReplyDeletelove the outfit, but I would definitely return it if its smelling funny! Doesn't sound right at all.
ReplyDeletePS your hair looks fineee, as per usual :)
xx
I think your hair looks good, and you look really pretty in this :)
ReplyDeleteI love your jumper!
ReplyDeleteLoveeee your hair!
ReplyDeleteI doesn't look orange at all.
I colored my hair and it has a orange glow now.
But I like it.
You inspired me to start a blog!

You look beautiful as always! I love your jumper, it looks amazing on you! Hope you'll enjoy your free time. I don't need to go to uni until February, my exams have been driving me crazy, so now I have a little bit of me-time, I'm so happy and relaxed now. Good luck to your uni deadlines! Xx

Ok, I just really want your hair!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that jumper :-) x
im currently wearing this jumper, havent tried washing it yet, damn i hope it doesnt smell, let me know if you get a refund as i aint keeping a smelly jumper either!
ReplyDeleteenjoy your 4weeks off! its a shame its around deadlines though, im the same! swamped in dissertations and what not! sure you will make the most of the time off though, even if you just get away for a long weekend! everyone needs a little break :)
Great outfit, I love this one. I like jumpers like these very much:)
ReplyDeleteI bought a pearled jumper from asos in the sale but yours is alot thicker! It's really lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks fine, honestly! Enjoy your 4 weeks off, I'm pretty jealous!

stunning as usual lily! I have the cardigan of this jumper but half of the beads have come off so it looks a bit silly now!

Congrats on all those holidays! :) lucky thing! I really love that jumper, I need more black in my life, my 2010 summary tells me I wear too much colour and patterns!! lol
ReplyDeleteI wont mention your hair :P but <3 xxx
haha yep your hair is fabulous even if you think its bad :]
ReplyDeleteOh I haven't seen these jumpers before... it's really nice xx
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I would say it. You're hair looks fab. Four weeks of vacation? Lucky girl.

71 hours?! wow that's a lot :)
ReplyDeleteI know you don't want us to compliment your hair but I honestly don't see any orange. Maybe it does not look as blonde as it really is.. but definitely not orange! For me it looks like a mixture of blonde-very light brown.
I like the all black outfit with those very blue nails!
ReplyDeleteand your hair look just fine girl!
xx
I'd take the jumper back, but I complain about EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeleteIt is really nice though :)
I saw some similiar jumpers in Topshop, they were powder blue and pale pink with little pearls sewn on. They were really cute, I wish I'd bought them now but they were quite expensive.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to shop for summer clothes soon anyway.
And four weeks holiday? Very jealous!

4 weeks holiday you lucky thing =) I tied on that jumper today, it's lovely and I wanted to buy it but really don't have enough dosh at the minute =(
ReplyDeleteHannah xx
Such a cute jumper on you; a real shame about how it changes colour after the wash. And your hair looks lovely by the way... :)
ReplyDeleteFour weeks holiday?! That's awesome! Even if you have nothing planned, it's nice to get paid for nothing ;)
ReplyDeleteLove that jumper,
Rosie x
My hair does the exact same thing! The light bits look a lot blonder in person, but in photos you either can't tell that I've ombre'ed/highlighted it or it looks a reddy orange color. I don't understand it! I guess that's just what us darker haired girls have to deal with. Thank god for toner.
ReplyDeletehttp://justabirdonawire.wordpress.com/
4 weeks holiday? That sounds amazing! I also really love your jumper here, but if its started to smell rusty that can't be good at all!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same mood as you right now regarding hair! I just hate how it looks recently, but I have absolutely no idea what to do to fix mine. Hopefully both of our hairs figure themselves out!
Love reading your blogs Lily!

ReplyDeleteat least it will give you some time to relax and maybe do something fun!! your hair does look fine! mine is often a big mess too and ppl thinks its nice, makes me laugh! i love these jumpers, so fancy looking
ReplyDeleteScrapbook de la Emma
I love the jumper but I'd definitely try take it back if it's smelling funny after being washed!
ReplyDeletethose 4 weeks of holidays might be a blessing with all of your coursework being due in soon! i remember in my final year of graphic design i had absolutely no holidays and was working 4 days a week.. awful!
do you work for new look? i work for new look in Dublin! and i just found out i have loads of holidays to take as well! its wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteyour hair is gorgeous!
Lovely! And did you dyed your hair or is that 'ombre' yourselfs?
ReplyDeletegreat nail polish :)

ReplyDeleteLove the jumper looks really nice

The jumper is super cute, wonder why it was giving off such a strange odor? Your hair is gorgeous despite what you say :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful you have so much vacation left, enjoy it dear, I'm sure it will be pure bliss even if you are just relaxing.

ReplyDeleteoops commented on the wrong post, this was meant to be on the other one :L
ReplyDeleteamy,x
I also have this jumper in a dusty pink colour. I love it but mine also has a bit of a smell. Watch out for the crystals falling out of the settings, two of mine have fallen off and the spiky bits have snagged the material. Gutted :(
ReplyDeleteJumper is pretty
ReplyDeleteI have this jumper in grey, although mine didn't smell strange after the wash aha! Might just be a one off? x
ReplyDeletelove the jumper, looks warm.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous hair! Just watched your Ombre video on youtube. Would love to try it myself by my hair's so dark I'm not sure it'd look as good!

ReplyDeletewant that jumper :( x

I loved your photos on lookbook and i've just found your blog! what a great blog it is, im following some lovely outfits :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.gingerrsnap.blogspot.com/
Love this jumper! Like others have said, it looks really cosy and comfy. The rusty metal smell however - not good. Just doesn't sound right. Maybe contact them about it?
ReplyDeleteOnce I had a jumper that lost all of its colour when it was washed. And I washed it correctly according to the guide lines and everything. Something major was up. Contacted the company and they were rubbish. No help at all. They asked me to send it to them (at my own expense) so they could "investigate". I was so sure that I wouldn't see the jumper or my money again so I didn't. Hope Topshop treats you better than this! x x
love love love this outfit (:
ReplyDeletei really liked the jumper with the pearls but they dont have it anymore :( so i got one with the same fit but crystal bits instead of pearls, yay!
cute outfit!!
ReplyDeleteSad times about the jumper! My flatmate has it as well so i'll give her a word of warning :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, your hair looks fine, not to worry x
