what I wore | river island x take ten



cardigan | river island (c/o)
tee | primark
jeans | topshop
 handbag | pauls boutique (c/o)
shoes | topshop

my second project with take ten took the form of a cosy river island knitwear challenge with asos ff.. HOLA! (nothing appeals more to me at the moment than snugly attire..) 

I would usually opt for a cute cropped sweater/novelty jumper but on a whim I went in a different direction. I picked something I could throw on for hassle free daily wear, a more practical choice for once- is this a new more sensible me? I figured this cocoon cardigan would be a great layering option for those days when even a big coat isn't enough (which is every day of late!)

it's also great for slobbing out at home when you want to feel comfy but not look like a hot mess, I think I've found my perfect in between knitwear essential... all hail the cardigan.

you can see how the other take ten ladies have styled up their river island knitwear picks below & catch our asos feature here
