Sorry for the delay in my review!
So it arrived, I opened the box and immediately thought no - it was a lot woolier than I expected, my first thought was that it was giving ‘baby blanket knitted by your gran’ kind of vibes. Also it looked like a cream colour in the photos, but a lot whiter in real life, which added to the baby blanket effect.
Thought I’d try it on anyway, because you never know. I actually loved the shorts, and was wearing some pretty substantial light coloured knickers underneath and you honestly couldn’t see them. And the top was ok, but just ok, and I decided I didn’t love the ensemble enough to keep it, so back it went. For that kind of money, I’d have to REALLY love it to keep it.
Another consideration was that it was definitely a summer outfit, but being far thicker and woolier than I expected, it’s hard to imagine the weather being just right to wear it. It would be far too warm to wear on a hot holiday, or even a hot summer’s day in the uk.
Most of my wardrobe is Mint Velvet so I was disappointed that this one wasn’t a keeper, if it had been less than £50 I’d probably have hung on to it, maybe.
