Mid-season Sweater from Top Shop

I am still freakin' cold and getting fed up with looking at hosts of pretty, flimsy, light Spring fashion that I just won't be buying yet! So I went on the hunt for a great S/S sweater that I will probably end up wearing all year at this rate. I love this one from Top Shop - reminds me of one my husband wore in the '80's in terms of the pattern. His didn't have the fantastic two-tone sleeves and was in wool - and I'm sure his was from a second-hand shop so was probably a '70's one in actual fact.

Cotton/acrylic mix sweater, £40, Top Shop.

Top Shop range that is Unique

Top Shop Unique, if you haven't come across it yet, is a collection of pieces designed specifically for Top Shop and always causes quite a stir on the catwalks each season. This Autumn/Winter things went quite sophisticated which means that it can be worn by any age group really, which is always a bonus to my mind.

Fabrics are leather and wool and shapes have an almost military feel - just right now the weather is on the turn and we all look to wrap up. Colours follow the theme of so many designers this season and include rich berry's and deep khaki and you know that they really won't be either dating you or your wardrobe anytime soon.

Everything is slightly overlarge which makes it perfect for covering a multitude of sins. Here are a few of my favourites.

Padded toe cap boot by Unique, £120
