Went out last night in Hereford for a friends 21st celebratory drinks, which was pretty good as far as Hereford nights out go. My friend Jess was wearing a lovely pink dress from Dixi (use "llydixi" to get 15% off there!). Lots of shots were had and dancing to cheesy music! There was a ~ foam party ~ in one of the rooms which I swiftly avoided. I really dont get the point of foam parties in clubs unless your like on holiday. Who really wants to look like a damp rat on a night out?
Got this jumper from H&M after some of the worst customer service I've ever had in any shop. The woman didnt say hi or bye to me or tell me how much the total items were. She even left the security tag on the jumper which I had to get off with pliers and luckily didnt damage the jumper. Im not one to complain about bad service, because to be honest it doesnt matter that much in the long run. But I think the fact she didnt even tell me how much everything came to annoyed me the most.
Anyway, outfit related! Just simple, I know people always comment my outfits saying "so simple" but I really don't think you need to over complicate or over style something to look good. I've been at home most of the day and yeah it is simple but its still pretty ~stylish~ in its own right. I love the browny, taupey grey colour of the knit sweater, really different and I love the little bit shorter than normal sleeves. Cant wait for winter, "summer" sucks!
love the jumper, looks cosy :) Shame about the bad service though xx
ReplyDeleteIm excited for winter too - I love swathing myself in warm snuggly jumpers, and layering up in thick knitwear! (Your hair has curled realy lovely here!)
ReplyDeleteLove the colour from the jumper! And your hair looks so healthy! How do you keep them so healthy? xx
ReplyDeleteLoving your curls Lily and I bought a really similar jumper recently, love that colour.
ReplyDeleteH&M are always pretty bad I find, I had some rubbish service yesterday in Boots so feel your pain! x
I work in a shop and when I'm serving people I get awkward that I am being rude, but I just try to smile! pahaha
ReplyDeletexoxo
it is simple but there's something about it that still made me go "wow, i really really like this!"
ReplyDeleteIt's shocking about the bad customer service - there's no excuse for it. I know we all have bad days but not saying the price is just really wierd! Some people are sooo strange! x
ReplyDeleteHaha. Foam parties are awesome fun, but I agree, only on Holidays! And call me strange, but I love your simple outfits. Simple doesn't mean boring! Keep doing what you're doing. You're amazing. :) x
ReplyDeleteI got the same jumper, but in bright orange-- my favorite, definitely! It's so warm and snuggly, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI really love this! And I agree, you don't need to over complicate outfits to look nice. Being smiple is very understated! X
ReplyDeleteOmg! I am always appalled at H&M customer service, but maybe that's because I am from London and customer service here normally is not good!
ReplyDeleteYour hair is looking lovely and wavy! x
perfect outfit!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit, love the jumper and rings x
ReplyDeleteFoam parties are so much fun! You look super comfy and lovely. ;)) That service was so bad. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit! I can't wait for winter also, autumn/winter fashion is the best xx
ReplyDeleteThe jumper looks lovely! However, it's making me crave Winter so badly! ;) Lovely outfit though! XXX
ReplyDeletei love this jumper! poor customer service really irritates me. i also had someone serve me and not tell me how much it cost. i stood there until they spoke to me with my card in my hand ha! xx

Lovely jumper, so much nice knitwear around for autumn/winter! I know what you mean about customer service, they should at least say hi and tell you the price! x
ReplyDeleteLove the jumper!

There is always such beauty in the simplicity of your outfits, which I will always adore! Complexity is overrated. And so sorry to hear about your H&M experience, but I'm glad you got a darling jumper nonetheless.

simple yet amazing, you suit that colour of jumper so well. I think i need it! i can imagine it being a staple piece in me A/W wardrobe. H&Ms so good for cosy jumpers at a cheap price! I've seen that in black but never seen it in that colour so I'm going to go on a hunt for it haha.
ReplyDeleteOoo thanks for mentioning Dixi! I completely forgot about them and i love the clothes they have. May have to do some more online shopping!

I adore the necklace and all the rings!
ReplyDeleteIs this the jumper in which the H&M lady left the tag? ahah/
YOu're so beautiful :)
Gorgeous sweater! Good thing you got the tag off without damaging it! (:

Oh god, when I was about 17-18 we always went to those awful foam parties at clubs. Makeup down face, clothes soaking and hair stuck to skull. Not a wonderful look!

I think this is a lovely winter outfit and I think the jumper matches perfectly with the jewelry. :)
ReplyDeleteThe jumper looks...ooooh sooo cooosy:) Gotta get my hands on it as soon as some money come in. Also I´m a big fan of simple outfits, no need to overcomplicate things every day x
ReplyDeleteYour rings and cross are super cute
ReplyDeletelovely jumper!
ReplyDeleteI agree about summer clothes, I don't like them much. I just love layering up in the winter. It's just so cozy and a bit sloppy-looking, I suppose, but I love it.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in your photos & I'm especially loving the curls in your hair! Very pretty.

Love your rings!x
ReplyDeleteUgh, I hate bad customer service... When I was unemployed and desperate for any shop job going, I encountered so many rude sales assistants in places like Topshop and New Look and it really annoyed me how they could still be employed and I - who would treat everyone politely and as equals to myself - was unable to find work :( Sorry, rant over! x x
ReplyDeleteThe jumper looks so comfy.. love the rings!
ReplyDeletei agree summer sucks:(
ReplyDeletebring on winter!

The fact that your blog is so popular I think shows that people think simple outfits are stylish! I'd rather constantly look great than always hit and miss I think...

Totally agree with you, outfit can still be simple and stylish, sometimes too much is just too much
ReplyDeleteceeharvey.blogspot.com
Can't believe somebody actually served you like that! Why work in a shop if you are going to behave like that. Lovely outfit. I'm all for simple styling. There's no point in over styling things and looking like you spent 4 hours getting ready :)
ReplyDeleteGreat look! love all your jewelry and your hair is amazing!

Abosolutely adore this outfit! the tone of that jumper is beautiful and will go with so many colours and different styles and is easily dressed up if needs be. And your so right, winter is deffinately better than summer, i love nothing more than knitwear and layers :)
ReplyDeletewww.letmebeyourlight-house.blogspot.com
I like most of your looks especially because they're simple. I'm more into simple than into super fancy, so yeah. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yup, can't wait for winter either, already checking out boots etc. whenever I'm downtown, haha!

Love this jumper!! Will definitely be on the look out for this on my next trawl of H&M! I had similar customer service in there too-not exactly great publicity! Simple yet great outfit as ever. I love that nail polish! X
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love your jewelry ♥
ReplyDeletei don't agree actually about the fact that service doesn't matter that much in the long run! it does, i go to a lot of stores because of the fabulous service and the warm welcomes we get! if the store cares about their customer, than i definitely will go back! i don't like stores with bad service and attitudes! i will never ever go back to those stores!
ReplyDeletePS fabulous jumper, love oversized knitted sweaters! gorgeous color
I'm loving the jewelry in this outfit, it all goes together perfectly. The nail polish is lovely too.I was just in H&M yesterday and the service was horrible. I swear there were only two people working, I couldn't get assistance with anything, and it was very disorganized. Their stylish scarves sucked me in though.

ReplyDeleteGreat outfit as always :)
ReplyDeleteOn the customer service front - that's not acceptable, but I work for H&M and we're not all bad.
Eee I have this jumper, thanks for giving me an idea of how to wear it ;) x
ReplyDeletelove your necklace xo
ReplyDeletestilettosandcigarettes
LOVE this jumper! It's exactly what I've been looking to buy for fall, too bad I didn't see it when I went shopping at h&m the other day!
ReplyDeleteI've had the same bad experience in a lot of stores lately; even my coworkers at forever 21 either flat out ignore or behave rudely towards clients. I think customer service is still important though, as it could mean the difference between someone buying a bag full of clothes or walking out of the store angry!
