Recently got this “original Aran co” cardigan second hand and I am in love with it. 100% merino wool and I am so unbelievably cosy. none of that polyester-wool blend nonsense. only £25 cos I got it from Vinted.
This blue silk and cotton cardigan I got for £4 at a charity shop, is one of two in different colours I got recently from the same shop! Really been mastering my charity shopping art recently. Natural fibre cardigans in my size, under £10 are a must buy every time.
it was only two dollars at a local thrift store. 100% wool so it's helped keep me warm this winter lol. I've always been drawn to Burberry's check print so I was really happy when I found this
In an effort to sweater up for winter, I recently copped the Wythe donegal wool raglan sweater in “seashell”. It’s perfectly warm and cozy, fits exactly as I want it to - not tight or pulling at the waist but not oversized - and just hits that vibe — that it factor I can’t really specifically name. Buy it! Wear it! Be happy! You deserve it!
My whole job requires my voice to be in good heath so when I notice even the slightest cold I go full herbal remedy mode. I‘m not even hippie dippy about that stuff I just can’t justify using really medicine when I’m not even properly ill. so I stock up on tangerines, ginger, garlic, orange juice, echinacea tablets and rest like a victorian child if I happen to have the day off. Today I have nothing on and there’s a storm out so I am resting with a hot waterbottle with some vaporub on my chest. Gonna kick the cold before it even properly starts.
Something I used to do when I was studying English Literature was go on a reading walk. I would walk half an hour whilst listening to the audio book version, read from that point onwards with the physical copy ( sat on a bench or in a cafe), and then listen to more audiobook on the way back. It works great for big classic books like Jane Eyre. Thoroughly recommend.
I’ve realised that recently I’ve been wearing the same thing again and again. 501 levis and a plain long sleeve top with a big wooly jumper. I got massively tired of thinking of something cool and original to wear everyday. I feel comfy in my jeans and jumper. It’s boring. But I’m not boring. I’ve been doing more creative things and having more ideas and interesting conversations. I think it’s because I’ve freed up some creative energy I used to spend on looking nice. I guess the tech bros and Obama were on to something.
