Neon beaded cardigan - H&M Trend

Hi guys,

Today, I'm posting an outfit which I wore last week. This picture was taken at the exclusive Jigsaw press day, which I will be blogging about this week, so stay tuned.

It was a showery day with grey skies, so I decided to brighten up a bit with this neon beaded cardigan. A piece which I am truly in love with. I had already seen this cardigan on the net before and I soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted one. It looks like a designer piece and to be honest  I was shocked when I found out that it was from H&M, you wouldn't think this comes from a high street brand whatsoever, would you?
Thirsty for some cool neon clothing, I searched high and low for it and came to the conclusion that it was an old stock and I had no hope of finding it at all. Then, just after the Marni X HM craze, one night  briefly browsing through their website, I found the cardigan! You can imagine how eager I was to click 'add to basket' straightaway but there was a problem, the only colour available was green. Yes, a green cardigan with neon green dots, it was just horrible. I was so angry about it and I remember sitting here in front of the computer moaning for ages.
Needless to say, I was over the moon when some days later, in a quick shopping trip to HM, still looking for any Marni left overs, I came across it! Just the way I wanted, in beige with green neon beads. I really couldn't believe my luck, I even had to phone a few friends to share the news!


I was wearing: Knit: Gap, Trousers: Muubaa, Necklace: Jigsaw, Bag+ Scarf: Alexander McQueen, Shoes: Ash.

See you soon.
