Channelling my Inner Granny


My lovely brother asked me if I'd made our Granny stand in for me in my last outfit post – apparently I was looking a little on the frumpy side! He can be about as blunt as a sledge hammer but I have to grudgingly admit he’s right – the baggy cardigan didn’t do me any favours. So here I am in another outfit I’m sure my brother would claim is channelling my inner Granny – the pattern of my dress probably wouldn’t look amiss as wallpaper and my heavy cable-knit jumper looks like it’s fresh off my Granny’s knitting needles. What can I say though, I’m a fan of ‘dated-looking’ fashion. So add a few extra inches to the hem line and I’ll probably still be dressing like this when I am an actual Granny.

In the meantime I’ll have to send my brother a link to the wonderful Advanced Style blog! 

Outfit: Jumper, New Look; dress, vintage; boots, Kurt Geiger.

  1. Haha well if this is granny, then I too love granny style. A cozy sweater over a vintage dress is my favorite! That's too funny about your brother, but sometimes its good hearing others opinions too! I wanted to buy and extra large oversize vintage coat and my boyfriend kindly pointed out, even though I like the print, it DID NOT FIT.
    Anyway, cheers to granny style, I think you look adorable!

  2. Thank you for your kind comment about my photographs. The jumper you're wearing is so nice - I love the colour. In fact, I really like your style, in general. I'm partial to a floral dress and a cardigan myself.

    Those cables and that colour just combine to make it look cozy!

    (Plus I think its a really pretty outfit, and sometimes boys just don't get it.)

  9. I freaking love granny clothes, and I don't think there is any shame in it. I absolutely love this outfit, the print on your dress is adorable and I love heavy knits. If you don't like the granny label you could always say it is stylish and functional - who wants to be outfit without some woolly at the moment?xo
