Hey Chunky Monkey.

Autumn and chunky knits...they go together like fish and chips, Easter and chocolate,Christmas and turkey. I love this time of year when its starting to get colder, but its not too cold either. Its just right for getting your jumpers and scarves out of the back of your wardrobe. Or checking out what new colours and styles are popular this year on the high street.

I'm proud to say I have only made two purchases to add to my chunky knit collection this year. (So far)
First off is this snood from Topshop. I was instantly drawn to the colour of this.... i'm quite a fan of anything khaki or olive, so this was right up my street. Very grunge.  I like to think I can pull off the grunge look, even though secretly I know deep down that I can't... but shall continue to try anyway! Plus it looks great with a biker jacket.
My next purchase was a jumper from Primark. I first saw it when Zoella wore it in one of her videos (p.s. if you haven't already, check them out... they are fab). So not knowing where it was from I thought I was just going to have to admire it from afar...until I went into Primark. There it was just hanging on the wall, calling my name. It was fate, it had to be.... I couldn't just stumble upon the jumper and then not do anything about it. So it did what I have to do and bought it. It is now living very happily in my wardrobe.
This jumper is perfect for layering up, its not too thick so is still comfy to wear under a big coat. The black and white means it can be worn with any other colours. Perfect to mix and match with other chunky knits.
