My First Collared Jumper

11/13/20 | Amazon Fashion, Asos, Essie, Fall Style, Fashion Friday, Kate Spade

River Island collared balloon sleeve jumper in black - Asos Collared Jumper

Happy Friday and welcome to one of my favorite Fashoin Fridays of the year!  Mark and I just shot this look on Sunday (five days ago) and while I had something else planned for today, I could just not wait to share this look! I recently ordered this sweater and the formal name of the packaging made me laugh “collared balloon sleeve jumper”.  First of all, let’s start with balloon sleeve – I guess that is what you can call this style where this is more fabric on the arms and then a tapered wrist, but still a funny name. And I am not sure I would go so far as to say balloon, to me that implies I am drowning in it.  And then jumper, that term just makes me smile.  It is what the Brits call as sweater and while I would never say the word out aloud when describing a piece of clothing I have been getting used to it as you need to type that in when online shopping if you are looking for sweaters. 

Despite the funny description I fell in love with the floral collar and the bow detail plus I love just how feminine the ribbed trims are!  I paired the top with white jeans and black boots and realized it needed a pop of color.  I added the red lip and then kept going, also grabbing a red handbag. It was actually this bag’s first time out as it was a birthday present from Mark and bought it for me at a small boutique in Italy.  The bag does not have a brand name or a style number and I can not link it but I but found the closest alternative and have also linked it below!   If you are looking for more of a save option I found this dark red option on Etsy or for a splurge this Givenchy Mini Antigona Croc-Embossed Leather Satchel is similar.  And now for the look:

    Cute top. Perfect for cooler weather. I love the red bag too. Can’t wait to go to Florida with my boyfriend to see my family next week for Thanksgiving. I have my dress ready for Thanksgiving Dinner.

    I like it and how you made the whole outfit… very cute and a different look for you.

    Nice pairing of lip color and purse, a real winner Kelly

    I love that the British people call it a jumper, it sounds so much more polished but it also sounds like an athletic event, no?

    The first time I heard it I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what they were talking about. I didn’t want to seem stupid and ask but really???

    Forget the shirt, that red bag is to die for! I see you only linked a similar one though, maybe I will just have to go to Italy and bring back my very own!
