Birthday Goodies

As I mentioned in my first post, it was my birthday last weekend and I was fortunate to get some lovely goodies from family and friends. Having a wintery birthday means it is a good time to get some new cold weather gear and I was lucky enough to get a selection this year.
First up was a H&M jumper that Mr. Owl got me as a little extra. I  had been looking for something in this colour for a while and he saw this and thought of me. It is a baggy fit style with a longer hanging back and is nice and warm. I love the scooped neck, as having eczema I find anything 'wooly' hard to wear, whereas the low cut on this means it is well away from my more sensitive face and neck. This was worn on a home work day so apologies for my total lack of any glamour in the photos.

Next up is this  pale blue cable knit jumper from Topshop. It is an angora mix which makes it lovely and soft. I had tried wearing it with a shirt underneath but it didn't seem to work, I will need to experiment with that more. I think it would also work well with a chunky necklace to dress it up a little.

Jumper: Topshop, Jeans: H&M

To go over all this,  a new coat from Fatface and fabulously warm hat from Topshop. The coat has a nice warm sheepskin style lining and is just long enough to cover your bottom. I have a thinner Barbour wax jacket and also a big thick North Face parka for when it is really cold, so this new coat sits perfectly between the two.

Finally it wouldn't be a birthday without some bling, and my love of owls is well known to my friends and family, resulting in this lovely long pendant and a bracelet.

So there we are, a little birthday roundup. Any tips and suggestions on how to style my new knitwear, how would you wear it?
