Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{Fashion Monday} Stylish Cold Shoulder Jumper

Whenever winter comes round, I am always on a hunt for Jumpers that will keep me warm. Rarely do I shop for cute jumpers especially a cold shoulder jumper as I am after warmth not the breeze. It wasn’t until I had an opportunity to do some winter shopping with LOTD that I stumbled upon this one. Since then I have received countless compliments from people including my mother who made me buy her one too. Stylish cold shoulder jumpers are now the thing and lotd.com is packing a whole bunch of them which are very cute, colourful and affordable.

cold shoulder jumper

When I was thinking about how I would style the cold shoulder jumper, I kept thinking; keep it simple. I have always been a big believer in simplicity is the best way forward even in Fashion. During my recent trip to Toulouse, I played around with the stylish cold shoulder jumper. I paired it with skinny ripped jeans and knee-high boots – that definitely worked its magic. Then I tried pairing with shorts and definitely feel it will be a must during spring as the weather starts to warm up.

How-to style a cold shoulder jumper

The majority of the outfit ideas I put together I don’t really prepare in advance I just throw them together. Some of the work and others definitely don’t but it’s all down to practice and more practice. Only you know your body and know what clothes you’re most comfortable in. But I think sometimes just because you’re comfortable in something does not mean it looks good on you.

As I said earlier, I tried playing around with items that would go well with the cold shoulder jumper. One of them being with skinny jeans and knee-high boots, this definitely worked as I added an over coat. But coming back from holiday and still wanting to wear this jumper, I decided to keep it simple.

Valentine’s Day OR Galentine’s Day? What will you be celebrating in the month of love? I love it’s definitely #galentinesday for me hence why I am keen to share this awesome #giveaway for one of you to #win an incredible #woodenwatch from #jordwatch .. .. .. ..

Normally during winter, most of us gravitate towards darker colours but for me I wanted to be bright. This pink colder should jumper definitely stands out in the crowd, it is so simple yet so pretty. Here is how I recommend to style this cold should jumper.

  • For winter – keep it simple! Pair the jumper with plain trouser as you want the focus on the jumper and it’s detail. Knee high boots work but do does ankle boots over skinny jeans.
  • For spring – pair with a cute floral skirt or shorts, whilst the top will be dominant the floral pattern will bounce off it.
  • And for Autumn – I would pair this with shorts and knee-high boots then add a mac jacket for warmth.

As I have said, you can style this however way you like and it would look gorgeous. Definitely wear a strapless bra but if you have none, then wear a black bra instead.

What are your thoughts on how I style this cold shoulder jumper?

    I’m sorry but I like the wrist watch more than a sweater 🙂 I prefer pastel shades of clothes.

    The pink on the watch is lovely. I like the tie detail on the jumper too. I don’t have any cold should clothes simply because whenever I look I never find anything as nice as this.

    I’ve never heard the term “cold shoulder jumper” before and when scrolling down, I wasn’t sure what to expect (although thought it was probably extra thick around the shoulders! haha). Got it a little wrong! This is so pretty – really love the colour, which looks so good on you!
