The 'Look What I Just Bought!' Thread.

I'm almost sold on getting this cable knit jumper, but the thing is that it's mainly made out of acrylic, and not actual wool. Is it still worth a buy? Also, I usually wear size S, but they only have M available...is knitwear supposed to be fitted or can one get away with a slightly oversized jumper?

It's really nice, but I don't rock knitwear that is more than 50% man made, as a rule. It might feel good in the flesh though - if the price is right, just grab it I guess. Can always send it back.

Slightly oversized should be fine imo

Theres a cable knit on ASOS I want but it's 100% acrylic. Should I avoid or go for it? does look nice and I really need a new jumper or two.

acrylic wool substitutes generally aren't the worst in the world, they will still be relatively soft, I have more of a problem with cotton substitutes, they tend to make the fibres really stiff and rough. If it's from Asos you can always send it back free.

Yeah it's almost like €50 (Don't know if the price actually justifies the quality of it tho), my stipend just came in so I'd thought about updating my winter wardrobe a bit...I'll buy it once they restock S or M sizes.

I bought a red alligator shoe pair and matching purse with alligator knob(opener). I just love it.. Now I am looking forward for a suit for my dad.

From here, one of those timed sale places, they've also got some Nigel Cabourn and Common Projects at the moment.

Also some orange cashmere knitted gloves to match from eBay.

Just bought this ASOS | ASOS Mac at ASOS, I needed another casual jacket, hope it looks as it does on the picture, bought it in a size xs but from ASOS sizes fit me nicely, would of like one in black but they don't seem to do it in my size

Jumped on the green bandwagon with these trousers from H&M. They're not as dark as the picture, and lean towards the teal side of green.


In regards to the ASOS swim-shorts I posted several days back, they fit very well, the material is better than any I've tried in high-street stores (I guess the cotton blend makes the difference), and even though I don't have a lot in the way of thighs, the legs are nicely shaped so they don't look like something a clown would wear. I'd say a steal for the £8 sale price.
