ChicWish Yellow

I love a chunky knit but have never really allowed myself to wear one because it makes me look chunkier but I'm currently at that beautiful stage in my adulthood where I just don't give a shit anymore. Comfort, happiness, practicality and self-contentment are the priorities when it comes to dressing so a body-expanding knit is now fine by me.

This deliciously yellow knit is from ChicWish and features flecks of multicoloured specks throughout to jazz things up a level, making it suit this water coloured scarf I picked up in Egypt to a tee. It's lovely and warm which is perfect for the last week's rainy coolish weather we are having right now in Perth. I love the rain and miss it incredibly when it seems to be desert appropriate summer here all year long but the whole never being able to dry any washed clothes outside on the clothes line does my head in! I'm travelling to Malaysia tomorrow still haven't packed or washed the clothes I'm taking so no idea of how I'm going to get them dry since my dryer is on the blink. Dilemma.

The knit is soft (not that awful scratchy material you can get on some jumpers) and is made from synthetic material, not wool - hence the cheap price of $47 (not including the 30% off you can get from your first order!). If you want proper wool be prepared to pay a heavy price - in the meantime this cheaply priced piece does a good job - keeps me warm in winter while being bright and happy and at least looking like a vintage handmade wonder. It comes in various colours (ivory,black and navy) but the brightness of the mustard drew me in more than anything.
