Sometimes you find an item of clothing that you know does absolutely nothing for you and you just don't care.
Meet the porridge jumper:
I was actually looking for something entirely different in Primark at the weekend. Well, perhaps not that different, seeing as it was a grey, oversized jumper, but as I was doing that can't-find-what-I'm-looking-for-so-must-stomp-around-the-entire-section-mocking-the-vile-clothes-instead thing, I found this lurking at the back of a rail of size 6 and 8 versions. The Liverpool Primark is terrible for doing this: either they think everyone is really skinny and order accordingly or no-one is skinny and so they end up with loads of tiny clothes. Either way, there's hardly ever anything in my size.
And this isn't. It's about 3 sizes too big but I like it even more for that. I made Char try it on for comedy value and it drowned her so much it was longer than her actual dress - quite amusing! It's amazing though. So warm and so comforting that it's like sitting in a big bowl of brown sugar porridge. Who cares if it's not that flattering? Not everything in my wardrobe needs to be.
Skirt - Tesco
Shoes - Dorothy Perkins sale
Belt - Dubrovnik market
The only bad thing about this beauty is that it's so big and so snuggly that I'm likely to fall asleep whilst wearing it...
I have so many jumpers like this that I know make me look like a frumpy aunt, but they're just so comfy!

The contrast of comfy/frumpy and those hot shoes is A1. You look fabulous!
ReplyDeletewith those gorgeous shoes you can get away with anything!!
ReplyDeleteI have a similar baggy porridge-y cardigan, love it. Anyway this looks fab with your snazzy red heels x
ReplyDeleteAlex it's fab, sometimes comfort is a priority, this is the unlikely winnning combination. I loathe Primark sizing, always makes me feel incredibly bad for not being a size 6 or 8, where do they hide all the other sizes? xxx
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like an oversized snuggly jumper. I agree with you about Liverpool Primark. So many 6's and 8's and about 1 in each other size if you're lucky!
ReplyDeleteooh I think it is lovely, there is nothing like wearing a cosy jumper on a cold day! x
ReplyDeleteit looks surpremely comfortable! I've actually been wearing Dave (hubs)'s jumpers recently, I go through phases of doing that.
ReplyDeleteLove it. I have a couple of jumpers that fit into this category, comfy and cosy are sometimes the most important factor when getting dressed on cold mornings.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fab with those shoes x
I agree i'd say about 30% of my wardrobe is very unflattering :] I love it. Blackpool and Manc primark are goo dbut Preston seems to only have small sizes too.! x
ReplyDeleteI acutally like the contrast between the smart slick red skirt and this big comfy oversized jumper all cinched together with a beautiful belt, who cares if it isnt flattering it looks bloody fabulous xxxxx
ReplyDeleteI love this post! I have a cardigan that is almost the same, and it's one of my favourite things! xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks so cosy! Now I really need to have brown sugar porridge for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteOooh oooh want! How great would that be on a cold night on top of my jammies x
ReplyDeleteWell I really rather like it, picture 2 especially. The contrast between the jumper and the red skirt and shoes is very fun. x
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is great!
ReplyDeleteAshleigh has this jumper too and it is uber soft. So cozy.
ReplyDeleteX x
Sod it. We all have those kind of clothes. I have a jumper that looks like a sack on me, and have been told it makes me look pregnant. Do you know what? It's amazingly comfy.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that snuggly jumper.

I love this jumper, I have one that is very similar from good old Primark and it is the toastiest thing, even if I look like a sack of potatoes!
