Outfit Quickie — Bobbles for Autumn
Only a few days left now before we leave for the USA, and the weather here in Sydney has finally started to shift into Autumn – its about 22c/72F, crisp but still humid unfortunately.
As soon as it starts to cool down, I’m looking for good transitional knits to get me through and I spotted this cute cropped jumper at Dangerfield. It’s called ‘Popcorn’ but it makes me think of a 1940’s novelty knit!
I know I should be saving money for Viva, but it was on sale… and it teams up really well with my favourite beige trousers from HeyDay Vintage.
While I love the cropped knits that are in fashion over here, I wonder how ‘contemporary’ people wear them. I feel like they only look best with high waisted clothing, but the same stores only sell low waisted pants? Bizarre. Glad I don’t need to look ‘on trend’!
Side Note – the bobbles were just knitted from an 8-ply cotton yarn, something really easy to do and sew onto another jumper. This would be really easy to add to some plain knitwear.

I hope you and Jakk have a great time on your trip. Maybe next year I finally get to meet you two.

That's a very good point. I too feel that they typically work best with high waisted pants and skirts and am rarely a fan or exposed midriffs or cropped tops/sweaters that when worn in a modern context end up looking like someone accidentally shrunk their standard sized garment in the drier. I've seen a few layers over longer shirts, with mixed results, but there really is no topping (in my books) the kind of ways we vintage gals style them (and I love how you've done just that here with your great Heyday trousers).
