The Hush Military Jacket

This gets a whole post of its own as it's just such a brilliant buy. It was a long time arriving because of a sell-out of the first drop but it was really worth the wait. It's now back in stock on the Hush site and selling fast - the 10 and 12 has already sold out again! I'm awaiting info from the company as to when these sizes might come in again and will update this post when I know.

Based on the comments from readers who ordered it first time round, it seems like it's going to be a real spring staple. It goes with everything and isn't too dressy so it ticks two large boxes for me. The fact that it's so casual means I can add smarter boots or shoes and it keeps things feminine but not OTT dressy for the school run. Which is how I worked it today. It was nice to get a smarter top, necklace and heels on after too many days of stripes and trainers.

Military Jacket - ℅ Hush
Skinny Jeans (turned up) - Lidl ...yes, you read that right..instore for £7!
Black Ankle Boots - Clarks (old but similar here & here)
Cream Top - Primark (survived the curry incident but now has chocolate on it...)
Pastel Necklace - SGS Shop (new stock coming soon)
Cross Body Bag - Gap

Size-wise, I got a 12 and it's true to size. A little bigger on top with me but perfect on the hips when zipped. As with most of my Hush stuff, the 10 would probably have fit but neatly. I'm a 10 on top and 12 on the bottom...veering ever closer to a proper 12 all over. It's got some stretch and the sleeves have adjustable poppers on them for a loose or tight fit. Personally, I think they're best turned up or pushed up.

Now I'm on the hunt for a few great scarves with khaki green in them...will report back when I find them. In the meantime, I won't apologise for wearing this endlessly.
