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


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


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.


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.


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!


See snuggly and warm! 


And who can resist a swirly item of clothing!


look out for the crazy lady in the park!

And just one more picture as it made me laugh!
yes I am mildly insane! 


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 :)
