Branching out a little bit, I wanted to share this with you all. (Especially my Australian followers!)
With winter fast approaching, I've noticed a lovely new trend in fashion - knit sweater cardigans! I'm a huge fan of jumpers and sweaters, a huge fan of knit, and an even huger fan of cardigans! I love items you can actually button up, so this new trend hitting the stores is a God-send for me!
This particular sweater is a very gorgeous red cable-knit sweater with simple brass buttons.

A close up of the material.
It's fairly thick, so it's nice and warm for winter time! I'm not ashamed to admit this, but I purchased this particular sweater from K-Mart, for only $19.00! That's an absolutely amazing price for a knit sweater, so thick and warm! A sweater like this from any other store, such as Dotti (even though I LOVE Dotti, some things can be a tad overpriced) would be about $59.95, so that's a huge saving.
This is what the sweater looks like on.
I really love it! It's something very easy to wear, it's so comfortable and warm, and not scratchy at all.
When I told my boyfriend where I got it, he was disgusted by this. I scolded him though. Would he prefer me spend $19 at K-Mart for the same sweater I could buy elsewhere for over $40? He would never know the difference if I never mentioned it, and neither will anybody else!
I feel K-Mart is really stepping up their game when it comes to clothing, they used to be kind of tacky, but now they're actually bringing out some really fashion forward clothing! So head down to your local K-Mart, where your money will go a long way with some gorgeous pieces! (As long as you're not too fussy with brands and labels!)
Have you found any amazing clothing at stores you never thought possible? Or, what do you think of the knit sweater cardigan trend?

Haha I know right! So many compliments, and nobody has any idea ;) hehe! Even when I'm not trying to budget, it's still a good feeling knowing you've paid WAY less for something... means I can buy more makeup instead hehe :)

Haha that is so true, something I dislike about Australia! You try to wear something different and everyone looks at you like you're crazy lol!
DeleteBut at least this has finally hit Australia :P haha.
And thanks hun :)

I'm totally into knitwear as its still pretty cold in the UK haha.
ReplyDeleteBut the colour of the cardigan is sooo gorgeous, I'd love one that colour. It looks so warm and cosy :)
Totally agree, I love finding great pieces in places you wouldn't expect. Being able to spend less than you would is always great :)
Love, Elizabeth xx

Haha yay! It's nice to see my followers aren't too snobby to love K-Mart hehe ;)
DeleteYes! I saw the mustard too, and I'm pretty sure my local K-Mart had green.. I plan on heading back in soon so if they have it, I'll share :)

They are so easy to wear :) xx
DeleteAwesome deal, I too love getting bargains and I totally agree when you say that 'daggy' shops now carry some great pieces! I am loving the knit jumpers at the moment...I'm actually writing a post now for later this week!

Oh awesome! Yeah, I love those "daggy" shops ;) hehe!
DeleteCan't wait to read your post! :) xx
Omg Kmart is beating big w soooo much now in terms of what's in style. Recently the clothing, shoe wear and accessories are absolutely lovely! Especially good for all the basics!
ReplyDeleteHaha I haven't been into Big W in ages, but K-Mart is really getting better! :D
DeleteI agree! Now I often opt for K-Mart since their prices are much reasonable than Big W in most cases.
DeleteThe sweater is a great find dear. I love the deep red and the contrasting gold buttons. ^^
Definitely, I find Big W can sometimes be a big expensive for what it is :( but I love this sweater! I ended up getting it in a forest green too.. and I love it :)
