Another warm day today!
Unfortunately, not warm enough for the amount I was wearing (especially while waiting for the train for 14 minutes on my way home from uni)… Luckily, I was indoors most of the time, so the warm-to-cold ratio is okay.
So, just a normal uni day today.

I love how warm it has become this week, after a gloomy and rainy week the last!
All that sun has sent me into smiley mode!
Anyway, I decided to have a go at my tan skirt, a colour I didn’t think I’d wear a few years back, but now loving (though I do feel that the nude/brown/tan colours look strange on me, especially if they’re tops)! Plus, this is my effort to wear more than just blacks, red, whites, and purples.

In my first Glassons Merino Wool Tops post, I mentioned that I ordered 4 items. I have now received and worn them (shipping from NZ was only a couple of days), and I am pretty happy with them, especially for the price!
I usually wear a couple of singlets, followed by a couple of tops. Now I replace the singlets with the merino wool top and I’m good to go. They are quite thin, and some a bit see through (i.e. the cream freeze top definitely needed a singlet underneath), but that’s what I liked about them; they are good for layering. It is comfortable, only slightly scratchy but very wearable on bare skin.
With the size, I think they run a bit big. I got 3 tops in size 8 tops and they were good. The tunic I wanted to be on the looser side, so I got a size 10, but I was swimming in that one. In the end, I decided not to keep it.

Seeing that I liked them, I hopped online and bought 2 more items; a tunic in a size 8, and a gathered sleeve cardigan in a size 10… hopefully it works out!

I’ve been wanting some merino wool tops for ages since I’m never warm enough and heard that merino wool is the way to go… I’ve visited some stores but they were a bit pricey and I just left it at that…
But tonight, finally got some!
I bought 4 different merino wool basics/tops in different colours via the Glassons website for a pretty good price at just under NZD100 (plus I’m really sick at the moment and always feeling cold, so the purchase is quite easily justified)!
So, hopefully these will arrive sooner than later, and will help me through the cold, lonely days (hehe).
