This week Elizabeth challenged me, Beth, Nicole and Valerie to wear an outfit with a nautical theme. My new eBay purchase could not have arrived at a better time!
Cardigan – New Look via eBay
Vest – Joe Browns @ Simply Be
Leather jacket – Simply Be
Jeans – Evans
Trainers – Simply Be
Firstly I think we need to take a moment and note that I’m actually laughing in a post picture! The reason? Our friends were doing this over on the other grassy knoll we were standing on;
Anyway back to the outfit! Ever since I saw Georgina wearing this anchor print cardigan I have been on the hunt for it. Last week I saw it on eBay and I bid aggressively for it…maybe paid a bit more than I wanted to but I love it and it was SO worth it.
The anchor print was perfect for the nautical themed challenge and I pair it with my Joe Browns nautical vest and a pair of jeans. We spent the day walking around the market and art galleries in Deptford and being very silly!
The perfect out to wear when relaxing after a very stressful couple of weeks!
Don’t forget to check out what the other fabulous four are wearing.
Oh wow – the cardigan is absolutely fabulous! What a find!

Its taken months of random hunting!! So glad my patience won out!
That cardi is cute! How come I never spot cardi like this one when browsing on eBay?
I’ve been looking for it for nearly a year after seeing it on Georgina’s post! So keep looking is my advice!
i have lots of love for this cardi i team it with my asos anchor top all the time
JO! Hello! Where have you been? I did think about doing that but thought it may be anchor overkill!
The white and blue colour scheme complete with adorable prints and gold buttons make it an object of desire! I would have been sorry if you lost the bid!
So would I! I managed to pick up an ASOS dress as well. Pretty good buy from eBay!
great cardi, new look does some lovely things once in a while… seems to returning to better form than I have found it for a while now.
I totally agree Gee! I have got a couple of really good bits from New Look recently – a brilliant bird print blouse and some floral wide legged trousers.
I have also been known to stalk ebay for something I missed out on in the shops!!
Its lovely to see you smile in the pictures – its really lovely and how I imagine you in real life (as opposed to blog life!).
xx
I’m pleased I’m not the only one who does that!
As for what I’m like in real life – I do know much about the smiling. I’m a pretty miserable bugger
Adorable cardigan!
Thanks! I love it too!
