It’s been a while since I did an outfit post. I’m in the middle of organising something at home so I don’t have to resort to random corridors. This sweater is the same one from my last Friday Five post. It was sold out in my size so I sized up.. unfortunately it looks a bit massive on me (considering I’m about 5’8″ in flats). I still really like it though, and wonder if anyone has any tips for shrinking it.. in the dryer? Is that a crazy notion?

Ah loving Zara’s knits atm :) Lovely simple look.

PS. I’ve got a giveaway happening to win a House of Harlow ring! I’d love for you to enter!
Me too. They have so many amazing ones, I find it hard to not overspend!
Love the long back sweater, even sized up it looks extra cozy and chic! Love your purple Marc Jacobs bag too, I haven’t seen that deep purple color anywhere around here in awhile.
Thanks Cara. This is quite an old colour, it took me a while to find it on eBay but I’ve had it for 2 years now.
I quite like oversized jumpers & I think it looks nice like this, but if you do wanna shrink it putting it in the dryer will work, if it’s damp/wet it’ll shrink more than if it’s dry, just keep taking it out & trying it on often, so it doesn’t go too small, they tend to be fine & then all of a sudden go tiny! You can also put it in a bath of very hot water (or just on a hot wash, but then you won’t be able to keep checking it) careful not to leave it in too long though or it will start to felt :)
Ooh thanks so much! I’m going to try shrink it a bit :) It looks kind of OK here but I did pull it ‘back’ a bit for the picture and the sleeves are not fitted enough to stay up on their own.
I like it how it is. I would not shrink it, at least not yet ;)
I don’t find it oversized on you but you know better…I wouldn’t put it in the dryer. It may shrink more than you want it too.
It looks OK here, but stretches during the day. Fingers crossed!! x
I normally wear a size UK8 but will always order a L or XL just because I like oversized jumpers. I think it looks great. *sigh* What I’d give to be 5’8 instead of my current midget height.
I’m a UK10-12, and love oversized jumpers too. This is an L, but I find that most knits tend to stretch during the day so I wish I’d gotten the M that was sold out. Oh M, I’m sure you’re exaggerating :) You would have the advantage of being able to shop in the girl’s department though!
You look so cute in white, and the long back zara knit is a must pick up. :) xx Bella
Thank you. I had to try a different colour, though :)
