I was once outside Forever 21 on Oxford Street and overheard two older women discussing whether they could go in or not! I was like, yes! Go in! Although the store clearly targets a youth market there are some brilliant finds that are age irrelevant. I’ve just bought this little crochet jacket – we’ve had enough sun in London today for me to remember that I don’t like showing the tops of my arms (let’s just say the definition isn’t quite how I’d like it to be!) but also that I don’t want to be stuck in a jacket or cardie when it’s searing hot. The Floral Paisley Crochet Jacket basically does the job of covering up, but because it’s loose lace, it’s very cool as well, with 3/4 sleeves. The only place it has a panel is at the front, but otherwise, the breeze flows through! I’m totally thrilled with this, especially as it’s a snip for £26 HERE and goes with absolutely anything from strappy tops to maxi dresses.
I’m a size 10/12 at the moment and I have the medium which is quite loose – size large, I think would be about a 14-16. Best of all, it’s really an any-age thing – snap it up while you can!
