You may have seen a few pics on instagram of my latest Gap finds. But funnily enough, it was before this project that I actually started going into Gap again. This jacket was the best find of the winter for me – oversized and slouchy, it has also been surprisingly useful in our rather mild UK temperatures.

So when Gap asked me to be part of their ‘Styld By’ campaign, I knew I’d wear my trusty jacket with some other bits I found in store. I’m a ‘preppy’ girl by nature, always have been – I’m a sucker for a classic shirt and a crew-neck jumper – so it seemed an easy transition.

First: a cashmere jumper. I have 2 now (light and dark grey) and their cashmere is one of the best. It doesn’t bobble even after years – I always size up so it’s a bit slouchy. And these jeans are the perfect flares (I must admit I mainly went for these as I was thrilled that I managed to squeeze into a size 25 but they are also a great fit) – and look surprisingly good with my pointy boots – I’ve always been a bit worried about a witchy pointy shoe under flares but it seems to work.

I feel like Gap is really having a moment again, not that it ever went away (there will be another post with some other outfits – there is a boilersuit which I am on the waiting list for, and you’ll want to be on it, too).
