One That Got Away - The Christmas Jumper

Welcome to December, peeps - 🕯 🎄 🎅 !!! .

But now, let’s go dashing through the snow to One That Got Away. 
Today’s offering is .. 


The Christmas Jumper.




I succumbed to the trend for seasonal sweaters.  
This grey wool jumper was surprisingly flattering and the fun sequined reindeer wasn’t in-your-face garish.  Actually, I liked it.  A lot.  And so did The Photographer.

But I worked out that there’s a max. six week slot to wear a Christmas jumper.  And in reality they probably just get worn on Christmas Day   Something so short-lived doesn’t sync with the parsimony of a retirement wardrobe.

So the Christmas jumper was another trend that got away.





A la perchoine.

    My Christmas jumper came from our local Hospice Shop. Only worn once then donated. A bargain!

      Well I agree Dutchie, it was a nice jumper. And I don't think those jumpers took off until the film eh?

    I bought a cute Christmas sweater several years ago to wear to an Ugly Christmas Sweater themed party. But I hardly wear it now because it doesn't really get cold enough until after Christmas! Ha! I do love yours, very pretty!
    Hugs!!!

      They are wasteful, eh Vronni, but I'm picking up a great tip from Jay here, keep recycling them - and you are the charity (chazzer?) queen eh ...!!
      Hugs, x.
