So I have been wanting to update my jumper drawers since all my jumpers seem to be bobbling like mad. It’s since having my baby and holding him – with all his wriggling it’s such a bobblefest. At least with the warmer weather I can forgo the wools and cashmere which has kept me snuggly this winter but is a big culprit.
I went around the shops and had a look for more robust fibres and came up with a few gems in the sale. What’s great about jumpers is that they are easier to get to fit and if they’re a little big – it doesn’t really matter. Although I often find that the sleeves are slightly too long and can therefore dirty easily but extra sleeve can also be a warming pleasure (in lieu of gloves) when it’s nippy outside.
First up is this sweatshirt number which harks back to the 80s somewhat, with the added volume, so it doesn’t matter that this isn’t a petite fit. I love the colour which is just perfect for spring-summer. And I figure that sweatshirts don’t bobble! It’s ideal with jeans – silver/grey, white, classic; any black trousers. Plus I like to throw this on on top of work-out leggings if I don’t have time to change to glam myself up a bit!

Next up is this simple yet classic little navy option with the little twist of the pretty ruffle sleeves peeping out. Again I think it is perfect with white jeans for a chic preppy look but cute with plain jeans and leather too. I’m really hoping that this survives the bobbles!

Lastly this stripy one is slightly less me but it’s nice to have something a little different and out of the ordinary. We’ll see how I get on with the flared sleeves and cuffs! I like to tie them in bows to keep them from trailing in food or the sink! Being mainly man-made fibres I’m holding out hope!
