Jessica's Style: Winter Woolies



Jumper from Paper Bag Princess on K'rd, Boots from Recycle Boutique, jeans from Jeans West, Glasses D&G

It's raining and cold and this jumper has camels on, which I think it hilarious. There is nothing nice than a pair of comfy jeans and a cozy jumper on a miserable Sunday.

I love checking out second hand stores such as Paper Bag Princess, Vixen or the Recycle Boutique for knits, here are some of my tips:

  • Look out for natural fibres, these will keep their colours and be really comfy to wear. Cashmere blends are my favourites
  • Avoid nylons and acrylics, these are scratchy and hold smells (eew)
  • Always try stuff on! A good fit is really important, if it doesn't fit, put it back
  • Wash everything with wool wash and lay flat to dry before you wear it
  • Invest in one of those lint shaver thingies, they bring knitwear back to life again
Auckland has a treasure trove of second hand stores, I find if you want to hit a whole lot in one go, head to K'rd, it feels like 1 in 5 stores there is an op shop *heaven*
