Fifty shades of khaki: a colour that features strongly in my wardrobe

Fifty Shades of Khaki

I’m sure most readers will be fully aware of my obsession love for all things khaki (see here, here and here, for example). I just can’t get enough of it. When I find a colour I love, one of my favourite ways of wearing it, is to wear several different shades of it – hence the fifty shades of khaki 😉

Fifty Shades of Khaki

If I’d owned a pair of khaki jeans, I would most definitely have worn them with this fifty shades of khaki outfit. The khaki shirt I bought from Primark a couple of years ago; the khaki sweater I bought from H&M last week and I got my khaki boots about five years ago from Seaside (not to mention the khaki undies and vest top lol!).

Oh and my khaki handbag too lol. A very cheap cotton bag I found in a Chinese shop over a decade ago but it’s one I absolutely love. It’s a very comfortable handbag, if you know what I mean.

Khaki sweater palaver

But back to the khaki sweater. In November I bought the same sweater in a light grey (my other favourite staple which I have tonnes of in my wardrobe) and then a few weeks ago I spotted the same jumper in the most gorgeous shade of pink. I didn’t buy it immediately but I new I had to have it. So I toddled back to Aqua a few days later and discovered they didn’t have my size. I checked online and I couldn’t even find it on the H&M website.

So, I drove down to Algarve Shopping (another shopping centre about half an hour away) and bought the last one in XS. I was delighted! That evening we were going out to our friends place for dinner so I put it on with my wide-legged wool trousers, only to find the jumper had a very visible pull in it. Major bummer 🙁

So the next day, off I went back to H&M in Aqua to swap it for something else. What I chose was the very same jumper in khaki lol (I’m so predictable sometimes!). Actually, when I got it home and put it on, Michael and I decided it suits me better than the pink anyway!
