The lovely Frances had recommended this red breton from Boden on her blog - who am I to pass up on a breton?!?! Oh and I actually didn't have a red one so needs must. I like buying when somethings been tried and tested by someone, especially when it comes to classics like this. It was £18.75 when they had a sale on. It's been worn twice already and is a lovely soft cotton. It does come up large but I didn't want anything too tight.

Whilst looking at the breton I spotted this merino jumper in the sale down to £17.70 - wow! Merino is a thin wool so perfect for now and as I had returned a previous one from a different store due to shrinkage, I was on the look out for a replacement. It's very similar to the J.Crew Tippi style which I had bought in the cream and white last year but they were so see through they went back. The sleeves are three quarter length which I love, it's true to size and the perfect shade of grey (well, apart from Christian's grey of course....). It's still available in a 6, 10 and 12.
It was late, I was tired, you know I'm not one for good photos (but I over compensate with sharing good shopping buys right???!!) but honestly there is nothing wrong with my lips - just a dirty camera on my phone, oops!

Both of these are fantastic basic wardrobe purchases!! I am off to check out if Boden has anything decent left! Thanking you kindly for the tip-off! ;0) xx
ReplyDeleteHappy shopping! Defo grab that merino jumper, it's fab x
DeleteThis is a great look :) the top and shoes are gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteThank you x
DeleteThat red is a lovely shade on you! I confess to ordering these too, but they had to go back as I didn't realise how creamy the background would be. Shame, as I love Boden Bretons. The search continues for me! Oh, and I totally sympathise on the bad photo front, I was quite ashamed of some of mine this week :-D xx
ReplyDeleteOh no! Yes, it is creamy - which I love. I think I am just going to have to accept I'm not one of these clever ones with a camera (and you should see the out takes from the ones where I'm not having to take a picture myself.....) x
DeleteAs always great bargains. But most of all I absolutely adore your ballet flats - fab, fab, fab!
ReplyDeleteAh thanks Helen, they are in their second year now but I still love them just as much and they've worn so well x
DeleteI've never seen the red breton up close - it looks lovely and I love how you've picked up the red in your shoes. Gorgeous look. I'm off now to see if that merino jumper is still in stock - what a bargain! x
ReplyDeleteGood luck - it's a fab buy! x
DeleteGreat bargains as always Natalie! You look like you've been slurping a Slush Puppie! Lol! x
ReplyDeleteHe he! I may just well have been....(I wish!) x
