While things may be heating up for my Northern hemisphere
pinup counterparts, winter has definitely snapped into full swing down under
here in Australia. The mornings are getting colder, the days shorter and the
wind like ice. So knitwear is definitely back on the agenda and staying warm is
the priority. But lets be honest, we want to look stylish as well as warm and
for the perfect winter combo I’m loving the Jenny Cardigan from Vivien ofHolloway.

While I don’t often share photos of myself wearing a
cardigan (I take my OOTD before I leave for work and living in a unit that
holds a lot of heat, I don’t rug up til I’m literally about to leave) I do wear
one pretty much throughout my day at work. My office is quite heavily air
conditioned and I sit right under an air con vent (talk about drawing the unlucky
desk straw) and that means I like my cardigans to be comfortable and warm. TheJenny Cardigan from Vivien of Holloway for me definitely ticked all the boxes.
Made of 100% Acrylic, the Jenny Cardigan is not only comfortable but warm.
The Jenny cardigan features a cropped waist, which makes it
great for swing style looks and helping to flatter the hips. Its shawl collar
is great for helping to stylishly keep warmth around the back of your neck and
the cardigan overall has a nice degree of stretch. I’ve worn my Jenny both
buttoned and unbuttoned without any hiccups and the buttons stay done up which
is always a huge bonus (nothing more annoying that buttons slipping undone on
you!)
I’ve been wearing this cardigan for a couple of weeks now to
really get a feel for it and I can honestly say I’m in love with it. Its super
comfortable (for size reference I'm wearing a large). Its easy to style. Its hardy and well wearing (I’ve hand washed it
a few times without any issues) and overall I’m in love with it! I’m also super
excited that Vivien of Holloway have just released the Jenny in an array ofpastel colours and I need to add them to my wardrobe as soon as I can,
especially pink and blue!
The Jenny cardigan in red and black retail at a special price of £38.00/$65.85AU + postage depending on the exchange rate. It may seem a bit pricer to Aussie gals but this cardigan is much thicker and warmer than my Mak cropped cardigan, which I'll probably keep packed away til mid to late spring. The new pastel colourways retail for £45.00/$78AU + postage.
I hope you've all enjoyed this review lovelies! I've got some super glam looks coming to the blog this week!
Til next time darlings

ReplyDeleteI live in the NorthEastern United States and have to admit I dread both the heat of Summer and the cold of Winter. My favourite season is Spring, though I like early autumn as well.
