Zara Cropped Jumper

Just a quicky from me - I recently got a car and it has not been healthy for my bank (I can drive and go shopping when it pleases me rather than having to beg my mum to take me)
Put it this way; the local shopping centre has been my second home for the past 2 weeks!

Anyyyyway, I recently set myself a goal of buying clothes that I wouldn't normally buy due to them being 'too adventurous/colourful', I normally stick to monochrome clothing.

So what item did I buy? 

Zara, £19.99, Size S

HOW CUTE?! This piece isn't particularly adventurous but it is a piece that I definitely would not in a million years have thought I would buy, let alone wear. It is cropped, however my photo doesn't show that. It crops just above my belly button; raw hem. I love the quote/written on it as positivity about reaching your dreams has always motivated me, especially due to my anxiety holding me back.

blah blah blah let's not get into this

It is a raw piece and does make you look like a box up until your belly button, the writing has a faint hint of white glitter over the writing, which after one wash I can happily say has not faded or washed off - well done Zara, you have achieved the impossible. The sleeves are slightly short, but I just tell myself they're meant to be like that, as if I bought a size bigger the jumper itself would be too wide and box like at the bottom - I will state that it does not increase in length (except the sleeves) the bigger the size is, it merely grows outwards.

Overall, I love it. Although it isn't as warm as I hoped it would be - perhaps I was expecting too much from a cropped jumper that gapes open at the bottom? -  it is still very comfortable and as far as I can tell, doesn't fade/shrink/crumple or anything along the negative lines. Thumbs up from me!
