Good evening folks!  Today I present: two very different coats, two very different outfits (which both are representations of a style-war I fight in each day - crazy and bright vs. vintagey and slightly more classic). I hope these outfits give you a little bit of inspiration as to how to put together a faux-fur-coat-based outfit! If not, I hope I will at least entertain you a little.  This outfit is honestly one of my favourite I've ever put together, sorry to brag. It's out-there enough to satisfy my thirst for eccentricity but also put-together enough for me to pass as sort-of-fashion-forward. This jacket is absolutely beautiful (but I am allergic to it, haha) and I can't stop wearing it. My apologies if you're an instagram follower of mine and are so darn sick of seeing it.  I teamed *the coat* (insert jazz-hands here, it deserves it!) with a Miss Selfridge dress, which I will always praise to the high-heavens (and not just because I work there). ...

Evening folks! If you follow my instagram, these pictures will be nothing new, but for those of you who might stumble across me via the actual interwebs, then this is for you!

Jumper: charity shop Jeans: Miss Selfridge  Shoes: Dr Martens  This outfit was the one I wore to my family's Christmas party and seemed to spark many (albeit back-handed) compliments, which went as follows.  Person-who-is-not-Louise: 'Ah...

Hi everyone!  So, this is my very first post (of many, I hope) on this particular blog, Jumper Dweller. I'm no stranger to blogging, I must say, having made many different ones since 2012ish. However, in the past I have found it difficult to remain consistent, an issue I hope to override with this blog.  I suppose some of you lot might be wondering about me (maybe?), and so I'll say my little blurb and get on with today's outfit, which I'm sure is why you're all here.  My name is Louise and I'm pretty much the title of this blog: I live in jumpers, dwell in them even. I'm a 22 year old autistic vegan, recovering from a serious mental illness with a huge interest in clothing and personal style, living in Guernsey in the Channel Islands. People watching is my passion, though I never notice what the people I watch actually look like, but rather what they're wearing. I have an obsession with the colour yellow and can't get enough of rai...
