metal

by Karen Blanchard
7 December 2010
Metallic silver jumper & mittens: H&M. Leggings: Topshop. Kitten heels: Zara (I was driving around but next time I wear socks). Crucifix earring: Fashionology. Wool scarf: (unseen) Love Quotes. Bag: Thrift DIY studded.
***
I popped out on the weekend to grab some things.
***
There’s a lot of high shine/metallic going on here. I found the silver metallic jumper randomly strewn across a hanger rail at H&M a couple of weeks ago. I bought it without even trying it on. Up close it looks like the fabric was painted with silver.
***
The parka is back out. It’s made an appearance before here which sums up how I like wearing it: to dress down anything glitzy. The above falls into that category.

    So much love right here!! Those mittens are beast, I need them! I love how the jumper isn’t throwing the metallic in your face, it’s a nice change from the constant blindness from other fashion blogs. Also, those leggings would be great for new years eve!

    Ahh, I have that sweater and I love it! Love the way it looks with those sequined leggings.

  68. Karen says:

    diana t – yes i do intend to. I know i’ve put it off long enough and need to get it done. I will. sorry it’s taken this long.

    Anon – holy crap Norway is fkg cold!!

    Li – H&M

    Kaye – I’ve seen the painted technique elsewhere too and it worked but this is softer to the touch. It comes in black too but I haven’t seen it in real life.
