OOTD - Winter woolies

Hey everyone!

It is absolutely freezing here in the UK at the moment! I'm not very good with cold weather at all, I would much rather it be warm rather than cold. I'm sure it's going to get colder too *groan*

This is what I have been wearing the last couple of weeks to work. Not exactly the same clothes, but the same kind of idea: Jeggings or leggings, with a longline jumper and boots. It's hardly exciting either, but I thought I would show you all as most of the items are new.

I got this necklace in Asda! I love how it looks almost antique and is quite chunky. It's also quite heavy and is a really nice length. It's really pretty and I've hardly taken it off since I bought it last week!


The boots I bought in Evans summer sale. I think they must have been really old stock they just found in the warehouse and put online! They are so comfy and warm for the winter. They are wide fit, which means I can wear them with some chunky socks, and the calf width is wide too, which means I can also wear them with skinny jeans.


It's just a really basic, comfortable outfit. The leggings are made to look like bleached jeans which I really love. I think it makes a change from plain black leggings.

The jumper is from Primark. They have a really good range of knitwear in at the moment, and quite a few of the size 18s in the selection are roomy. I also bought this jumper in camel and in purple as well. If you are a larger size than me, (I am generally a 22/24 on top) I would definitely recommend trying these.

The snood is from Primark too. It is so warm! I didn't realise until I looked at the photos that it looks like I'm wearing a neck brace! I normally slouch this down a bit more than in the photos.

Oooh, before I sign off, a big HELLO to my new followers! (and old ones, obviously!) Please don't be shy and feel free to contact me and say hello, I love chit chat!

Love the snood!

I'm still wearing dresses and refusing to accept that it's winter. But I froze my bum off today so that might have to change :(

I love this outfit. I pretty much wear the sane thing to work every day. I normally wear uggs but I love those boots you have. I got a pair from primark last week which I've been loving but think I need to go back to build my jumper collection! x

Love the outfit! The boots are fantastic! I wish I could find some fantastic boots here in Australia! Think I need to save my money & order from Evans, they have an amazing selection!

I love how simple this outfit is, but without losing the glamorous edge. Great use of a Snood haha. x

Thanks for all the lovely comments!

@literal gemini The leggings are from New Look about a year or so ago. Worth checking in case they get more in!

@enigma It doesn't have pom poms on it (Though that would be so cute!) I just wear it with everything really, it's so warm!

Love the look. Simple but definitely not boring. I may have 2 look at some Primark jumpers. Always avoid, scared clothes won't fit. Have a great weekend!
