Embellished Snuggly Goodness

Another day, another Oasis purchase. I blame House of Fraser for being within a 5 minute walk from my room. Sometimes I wish I lived in the middle of nowhere, my bank account would be less vacant.

But I bought this for my ski trip. A trip in which I always envisage myself looking all healthy & snuggled & chic, when in fact reality forces me to look like a burnt panda & be bloated from way too much booze, bread & cheese. But yes this jumper (which is in the sale) seemed perfection for me.

It is a round necked cream jumper with 3/4 length sleeves and it is embellished with little studs across the front. The back of the jumper however is plain, this is obviously a cut-costing strategy and it always irks me slightly, but oh well I don't have to look at my back!

It is lovely on, very soft (100% cotton) and I love that I can make it casual or smart, by pairing it with boots or killer heels. I of course also plan on pairing it with my leather shorts, as I love the contrast of slutty leather with comfy jumper. 

The only downside I have found is that it reports to be hand wash only. But fear not my little chickadees, I have risked it for a chocolate biscuit & washed it successfully in the machine. I put it on the cool wool cycle with bio detergent and dried it flat & it came out perfectly (though don't sue me if this doesn't work for you!).

As I said it is in the sale for £38 (still on the expensive side, though it's way better quality than any Topshop jumpers I have tried which are in the same price bracket). And it also comes in red (which I also am coveting, but alas it is no longer stocked in my size). Ooh, speaking of; sizing wise I am a 10/12 on top, though I find Oasis runs on the larger side so I opted for a Small which fits perfectly.

So what do you think of my pointless buy just before spring/summer? Have you been buying anything in the sales?
