Review - Simply Be 1
Navajo Knitted Shrug Cardigan
Simply Be very kindly offered me the chance to pick three items from the current catalogue for review, I was ridiculously excited!
I wanted to choose three completely different Items one for casual, one for daytime and one for a night out.
The first Item I am going to review for you is my casual choice, I have 2 adult dogs and 2 puppies so spend a lot of time over parks in heavy coats trudging through the mud, but get far too warm in my coats so I was looking for something that would be warm and comfortable.
This is what I ordered - The Navajo Knitted Shrug Cardigan £40
I ordered it in a 22, but I am notorious for believing I am bigger than I am, and probably could have easily got away with a 20, but I love how cosy it feels and know if I needed to be warmer I could fir a knitted jumper under for an extra layer.
This Cardigan is going to be a lifesaver when it comes to the christmas shopping as I always get hot and frustrated lugging a big coat everywhere, this is fabulous as I can leave it loos when inside shopping centres but pull it round close when on the high street!
And who can resist a swirly item of clothing!
And just one more picture as it made me laugh!
My overall verdict of this cardigan is it is lovely, the colours are gorgeous and it feels nice, it isn't itchy, this is very important to me as I can be incredibly fussy about knitwear, if it is even a little scratchy I just cant wear it!
I think for me it is a very useful item, for everyday use, popping to town walking my dogs, shopping and lounging happily at home, and would happily pay the £40, but would order it in a 20.
please excuse me looking so pale and my extremely bad hair day, sometimes I just like to be as nature intended :)

This looked so gorgeous on the model I knew I had to give it a try.

The pattern I feel, does make me look bigger than I am, but I just don't care, I popped it over my sheer blouse and a cami top and i was so warm and snuggly.

See snuggly and warm!

look out for the crazy lady in the park!
