(Vintage Cardigan/Jumper, Maurie & Eve Lace Shorts/Boots, Cotton On Scarf, Alexander Wang Bag) It's hard to do these adorable lace shorts justice in this winter weather. I can't seem to stop wearing them despite how chilly it is. As you can see the sun was out this day though so It made it easier to justify. Plus I was a little top heavy and was wearing four layers (a top and three long sleeved pieces) so really that evens out my body warmth. Maybe that's why I decided to actually wear a scarf for once too? Not really my thing but felt like adding some colour, plus they're practical and actually serve a purpose. Can't wait until it's warm and I don't have to cover these little lace shorts in hundreds of layers. They're so pretty and feminine and there's no doubt in my mind I'll be buying these in cream too. So perfect for Spring and already planning on skipping through a meadow with camera in hand as soon as I get some colour on my legs again. Available here.

You can't really go wrong with long sleeved jumpers. They're perfect for layering with a button up shirt for a cute preppy look or worn with long maxi skirts for a laid back chic vibe. I really love the look of a fitted top with a free flowing bottom, loungewear at it's best. They seem to have the perfect amount of thickness to act as the in between layer of your top and your jacket without making you look bulky and always seem to go with everything. Plus If you find the right kind they're extremely flattering and hug all the right places, whilst being comfortable at the same time. Wow. Did I just write an entire paragraph on long sleeved jumpers? This is one of the few purchases I managed to pick up during my visit to Zara. Can you believe that place is still as hectic as ever? I actually have a minor heart attack every time I see how many people are in there, no matter what time of day. Then again this little jumper was only $24.95 so I can't really complain. Actually, I did the complete opposite and wrote an entire blog post about how much I love it. Zara will do that to you.
