A couple of weeks ago, whilst rummaging through my wardrobe, I stumbled upon this jumper from Topshop that I hadn't worn for years. It was my absolute favourite item of knitwear whilst I was at school and sixth form, I was rarely seen without it, and usually my outfit of choice was pairing it with my vintage Levi's and a pair of creepers. So when I found it again, I was overwhelmed with a sense of nostalgia, and I was reminded of how much joy this jumper used to bring me. Cheesy, I know, but it was a staple item for me. So I decided to take it out for a spin one day when the weather was still a little warmer and I didn't need a coat. A pair of straight leg jeans and some colourful ankle boots (another rediscovery from the Mistress store that used to be in central London, RIP) and that's all I needed!

What I love most about this jumper is the sailor vibes it gives. The oversized gold buttons on the shoulders and the wide horizontal stripes are super nostalgic, and paired with the oversized, thick weaving, it's a great piece to wear on it's own during the transitional months. On this particular day, I wore it on a trip to Kew Gardens when I went to see the installation 'Life in Death' by Rebecca Louise Law (I thoroughly recommend seeing this while it's still on - a stunning collection of dried flora hung on copper wires throughout an exhibition space, which took the artist years to curate) .

If you want to find a jumper similar to this one, & Other Stories have an almost identical one in store at the moment - find it online here
