This is what I wore to go and watch the fireworks last night, is it me or are firework displays always a bit of an anti-climax? Plus we didn't have any sparklers to play with which I really wanted after seeing other people play with them!
This jumper was sent to me as part of the Voucher Codes Cashmere challenge, I was so excited to be offered a cashmere jumper, it's such a luxury I would probably not treat myself to one. I chose this camel jumper from m&s in a size 8. I chose an 8 because I know from experience that m&s sizes can be quite generous, and this fits me perfectly. Just enough room to wear a vest underneath on chilly evenings too but not look too bulky. The sleeves are slightly long but that is probably more due to me being short and thus having short arms. I haven't washed it yet, but luckily it can be machine washed with other jumpers despite it's delicate nature. I love the combination of camel with red, I think it's a great combo for winter. It has a really British heritage feel to it. I think I'll get lots of wear out of this, I can throw it on over dresses as an extra layer, wear it over shirts for work or just wear it with jeans like this for a casual look. It kept me lovely & warm last night to watch the fireworks.
Thanks to voucher codes for sending me this to review! I have already used one of their m&s codes to get £5 off lingerie to stock up on thermals for winter (ordering them early this year so they don't sell out once it snows like last year, organisation ftw!), there are also loads more codes on their website to save money just in time for Christmas.
Did you do anything for bonfire night or did you have to stay in with scared dogs like my Mum & Dad did? Poor Pepe & Nina :(


That jumper is so beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteCute blog, love the jumper and wellies. You should check out mine x
ReplyDeleteI'm going to miss your polaroid door in your outfit posts! It doesn't look right!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet jumper.
ReplyDeleteI do love a bonfire display but as usual I was too busy drinking and gossiping with my friends that I'd missed the sparklers. x
I love your coat!
ReplyDeleteyour coat is beautiful same as the scarf
ReplyDeleteI love the fact you've jazzed up the jumper with the bow. It looks great!

Love your sweater and scarf and wellies! You are too cute.
ReplyDeleteFab wellies.
ReplyDeleteOur current dog doesn't like the fireworks, but our last one used to love watching them out of the window!
I had a few people round then we went and watched the local display from the top of a hill near my house, it was great but like you I wish I had bought some sparklers!
ReplyDeleteI really wish they did a big display in town like they used too! I didn't do anything as I was at the ballet, but managed to glimpse a few fireworks going off around town as we had a quiet drink in a pub afterwards. Hope you had a good weekend! :)

That jumper is lovely. Definitely not something I would normally pick up but seeing it on, I might go and have a look and pick one up!
ReplyDeleteBonfire night, my family and I went round to our friend's house for a bit of a party - fireworks in the garden, hot dogs, burgers and drinks. We didn't stay too late but it was nice to get out for a while.
You look lovely as always. I love the little bow on your sweater
ReplyDeleteOoh I would love a cashmere jumper! I love the bow detail, it's really sweet. I didn't do anything for fireworks night, it completely passed me by, sadly! I love fireworks, although displays never last as long as they should . x
ReplyDeletei love your jumper! and wellies, feel like i've been waiting all year to break 'em out again, haha! although i agree, poor doggies, they hate bonfire night so much:(

Love this look, tres chic and sophisticated :) x
ReplyDeleteI went to my most local display, which I've never been to before. It felt proper English - hot dogs & weak hot chocolates for £1, sold by the local Cubs & Scouts. The bonfire was HUGE, apparently it was still smouldering the next day. I went with a gang of friends, it was a laugh. Really love your wellies!
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit- love the wellies :) We have 'cracker night' here in Australia but I rarely ever participate... probably something to do with living in the country!
ReplyDeleteAha i know what you mean! I went to one andthe fireworks lasted for about five minutes then everyone kind of packed up and left O_O! I was most disappointed.
ReplyDeleteYour wellies are adorable! xxx
