nicsammx: OOTD: Comfy knits!

Back with a "what I wore today to brave the typical English weather" in the form of a good ol' fitting room selfie. Having lived in a tropical climate all my life, I still haven't quite acclimatized to the English (single-digit) weather even after being here for over 2 years. Even when the weather seems to permit other people merely to don a light-weight sweater, I'm THAT person all bundled up in a full on winter jacket & my trusty Uggs - sticking out like a ~~sore thumb~~ big fluffy marshmallow in a cup of tea..

Surprisingly, even with no sign of the English weather being any kinder, I managed to step out of the house with just this cardigan instead of my usual winter jacket (but I just couldn't lose the uggs..). I must say, I didn't expect it to keep me quite as warm as it did!

This knit cardy is from Topshop. I do like my (faux) fur so naturally, I found myself gravitating towards it when I spotted this patch of furriness hanging on the rack. Got my blue sweater from Asos to add a hint of color to break up the black on black on black theme, paired with disco pants from American Apparel. People have told me they resemble leggings/tights. Being an advocate of the "anti leggings-as-pants" cause, I take great offense to this.. Anyways, its called disco PANTS for a reason so don't argue with the name. Adding to the comfort level of this ensemble are my go-to shoes this season - my trusty bailey bow UGGs! I'm sure even the UGG haters will have to agree that the cute little satin bows do much to tone down the UGGly level.
