My Slouchy Knitwear And Jeans Go-To

 Jeans - GAP, Jumper - homemade, Burberry trench - vintage (SIMILAR), Hat - vintage (SIMILAR), Trainers - CONVERSE
Location: Outremont, Montreal

As the first snow falls over Montreal, I think it is safe to say that this is one of the last times that I can get away with comfortably wearing Converse and a trench coat. As I have been working in a vintage shop that requires a lot of "getting stuck in", I have got used to wearing lots of slouchy jeans and jumper combos with comfy shoes on my feet and this seems to have crept into my weekend wardrobe too.

For a final autumnal walk through Outremont on Saturday, I went for my favourite new Gap jeans - which you have already seen in last MONDAY'S POST - and this unique denim jumper that my grandma knitted for me and I love oh so much. I find that it can be tricky to find the right balance of tight and slouchy in a knitwear and jeans look but I think this outfit gets it just right thanks to the straight (and not boyfriend) shape of the jeans and the long length of the knit. I love the androgynous vibe of this outfit, which is finished off perfectly with my beloved oversized vintage Burberry trench coat, falling apart Converse and a baker boy hat.  

I hope you like this slouchy look as much as I do. If I am honest, I have been feeling quite uninspired recently, not knowing what to buy or invest in for my first Canadian winter and this has certainly affected my content - so I am sorry. And November is a bit sucky anyway but I am super excited for December, the festive season and all the Christmassy content I have planned that is coming your way very soon! As much as I love a good knitwear and jeans combo, I can't wait to start getting a bit more dolled up in the next month or so.

Alors que la première neige tombe sur Montréal, c'est sûr que cette tenue est une des dernières fois que je peux porter des Converses et un trench confortablement avant le vrai hiver. Vu que je travaille dans une friperie où il faut s'atteler à tous, je m'habitue à porter une combinaison de jean/pull avec des chaussures confortables et il semble qu'on voit ce type de look aussi dans mon placard de weekend.

Pour une dernière balade d'automne samedi à Outremont, j'ai mis mon nouveau jean préféré de Gap - ce que vous avez déjà vu dans la poste de LUNDI DERNIER - et ce pull unique que ma grand-mère a tricoté pour moi et je l'aime trop. Je pense qu'il est parfois difficile de trouver le bon équilibre entre serré et oversized dans un look de tricots et de jean, cependant, pour moi cette tenue est parfaite grâce à la forme droite (et pas boyfriend) du jean et la longueur du pull. J'aime trop comment cet outfit est tellement androgyne, surtout avec ce trench oversized, ces Converses qui tombe en morceaux et cette casquette marine. 

J'espère que vous aimez cette tenue oversized autant que moi! Je vous avoue que je ne suis pas super inspirée en ce moment - je ne sais pas quoi acheter ou en quoi investir pour mon premier hiver en Canada et je pense que ces sentiments ont affecté mon contenu. Et novembre craint quand même mais j'ai hâte de faire tout le contenu que j'ai prévu pour décembre, Noël et la saison des fêtes très bientôt! Même si j'aime bien une combinaison jean/pull, j'ai hâte de me retrouver dans des tenues plus festives et spéciaux dans le mois qui vient.
