Thank goodness the weather is starting to improve. We all need some good news and things to help us feel a bit more positive this year, so the easing of lockdown and the sun are definitely positives. My twin girls ordered some new clothes from Femme Luxe ready for this warmer weather and are looking forward to being able to get out more and wearing them.
They both opted for a shacket (a cross of a shirt and a jacket) as they are the perfect item for layering. In the warmer weather, they can be worn open over a long or crop top as a jacket and in the colder weather, they are still thin enough to be worn under a thick coat. Femme Luxe has a range of shackets. in checks and plain colours, as well as regular length, longline or even a hoodie version.
The girls went for the oversized button front shackets, Miss E chose the lilac colourway and Miss M wanted the sage colour. These are currently £21.99, although there is a 15% sitewide discount at the moment, which takes the price down to £18.69 which is great. They are styled with breast pockets, slant pockets at each side and metal buttons down the front. As you'd expect with fast fashion you do get some hanging threads etc, but I think the quality is commensurate with the price and we've found that our items from Femme Luxe wash up fine.
Geometric prints and houndstooth are very current and make a bold statement when you wear them. Miss E loves the brown and black cropped jumper and I think it looks great on her. This jumper retails for £16.99 or £14.44 with the current 15% discount.
It's available in S/M (8/10) and M/L (12/14) and it has batwing sleeves. She teamed it with jeans but high waisted leggings would look great too.
Ooh they look great, I really liked the cropped jumper, although I don't think I'll ever be wearing anything cropped again! haha. Your girls look fab in the shackets too!
ReplyDeleteLol, cropped? No nor, me either!
DeleteGreat post. I'll share it with my teenage niece. I'd never heard of shackets before, but they look both smart and practical. I wouldn't mind one myself!
ReplyDeleteShackets were new to me as well but apparetly are all the rage.
