Aussie Curves | Knits

This week's challenge for Aussie Curves, is knits. Now, this could be anything from your traditional knitted cardie, through to jersey knit fabric...

I love cardigans, and thanks to working in a cold office environment, I wear them all year round. They are the perfect addition to any outfit, and are available in a plethora of colours and designs. This week I thought I'd spare you my favourite teal cardie, and wear something different...

My friend Rachael is currently on a mission to lose weight, and recently handed down (up?) this Autograph tunic to me because it no longer fits her. Score! I love the paisley pattern, and there's quite a few colours you can pull from it for accessories.

This cardie is a bold chartreuse yellow, and being short-sleeved, it's perfect for those cooler spring days. I love the hip skimming length of this one. The overall look is casual and comfortable. I cannot recommend those Autograph leggings highly enough! They have a tummy control panel (which doesn't cut you in half) and I could seriously wear them every day. I really must invest in a couple more pairs.

The black stretch belt at my waist draws attention to my midriff, and ties in the black leggings. To change it up even more, I threw on a royal blue scarf, further highlighting the blues in the paisley print, and to bring the colour from my grandpa shoes right through my entire outfit.
