I've been on the hunt for knitswear in the last few weeks. I've searched online and offline to no avail. It has taken so long because I'm a bit fussy. I want something that looks a bit different (I have enough striped knits already), I prefer natural fabrics, and I don't want to spend more than $150 each.
I decided to hit the shops at lunchtime today, I was determined to fulfil the gap in my wardrobe.
First stop was Marcs - this colour block jumper looked promising online and it's on sale for $89.
I tried it on and it looks nice, but on second thoughts it looked a bit "mumsy".
Gorman was my next stop, out of all the shops I browsed online they had the most interesting patterned knits. And eureka!
The inka jumper (on sale, $120) has a fun print, it was made with 100% merino wool and it has a nice fit. I can't wait to wear it with jeans in the weekend.
Then I went to an old favourite, Alannah Hill. I wasn't particularly hopeful because they're more well known for their cardigans and I was looking for pullovers, but I was in luck and found TWO 100% wool knit tops!
The You Like The Dark top (on sale, $112) is going to be a versatile addition to my wardrobe - I can dress it up with a pretty skirt or dress it down with black slacks.
And the She Kissed Everyone jumper (on sale, $89) is a signature AH design which I'll pair with black skinny jeans.
Feeling the high of instant gratification, I hopped into Seed and bought this cute knit for TLP (on sale, $40).
So bring it on, winter! I'm now ready to face the cold ;-)
