Only really liked this outfit, like the pink colours together.
The actress has styled it really well.
The beads work really well with the pink polo neck.
She has pulled the waist in with a really nice belt.
The beige shoes go really well and have added height to the look and balanced out the dress.
Love her hair and makeup. very simple. Her eyebrows work well with her face shape.

Actually found some clothes.
The roll neck jumper
Found a selection of pink jumpers at two shops:
dorothy perkins
These are in various prices to suit your budget or what you are looking for today:
I never spend a lot on jumpers, because they are not my favourite item of clothing. They are essential in British wintertime though.
I opted for the cheaper jumpers so if they don’t fit because of post covid unregulated sizes and false advertising, you can wear them round the house or under a winter coat if you don’t like them.
DOROTHY PERKINS
Longline Roll Neck Chunky Jumper
£28.00 £35.00
dorothyperkins.com/product/dorothy-perkins-longline-roll-neck-chunky-jumper
This is really small fitting in the size guide, but it looks oversized? ordered it in small, this is just guesswork from the photograph. It needs to be tight to fit under the dress, so if it is smaller than it looks will fit under the dress.
If it doesn”t go under the dress and is actually oversized, quite like the cowel neck anyway and can style it one of the other ways in shopping on pinterest.
The length is fairly long.
For £28.00, you could go for a walk in it or wear it round the house if you didn’t like it. (I’m struggling to get clothes for round the house and walking, still waiting for truckloads of orders).
Guessing it might work over the dress rather than under it. You would need to get this and play around with it.
If you are not doing this project exactly I would say the black one is a better investment as pink is a tricky colour to get right. Am purchasing the black one as well.
If you like walking in winter, this jumper will keep you lovely and warm. It might work under a gillet, (depending on how baggy the sleeve is). The gillet would pull in the body and the jumper would keep you warm, saw that idea in another film, can’t remember which one, but you get the idea anyway.

This is more like the one in the thriller episode, this may work well with the necklace and fit under the dress. Not keen on the colour, would of gone for beige before but to be honest this is actually winter. Prefer the models pink jumper but think that is summer. This doesn’t look tight?, but you never know these days. It really needs to be tight to work. Then again the beads might pull the neck in and make it work better?
‘Ingrid’ Jumper
£25.00 £60.00 Save 58%
Quite a big reduction, probably because of the colour, great exercise on purchasing sale items and getting them to work. Sale items do tend to be the unpopular colours.
PRODUCT CARE
36% Acrylic, 36% Viscose, 24% Polyester, 4% Elastane. Machine washable. Gentle cycle – 30.
Not sure why it was so expensive originally as it is not cashmere?
Will send for this you never know.
If you are like me you are probably hoping post covid clothes will go away and Dorothy Perkins will go back to normal. Hopefully I can finish this blog off properly then.
This idea will hopefully help you get through till then.
You may have something like the original jumper in your wardrobe which you could restyle with the beads to give it a new look.
TURTLE NECK JUMPER
£24.00
Quite like this, it is the closest one to winter colours, comes in a few shades. It isn’t pink, but you are better going for your seasonal colouring anyway.
There is a possibility of it being too big at the back for me, but it could be tight?
Since I have made a study of clothes during covid, thought of a few solutions for this problem.
Again for £24 if it turns out to be miss advertised you could wear it to go for a walk or around the house. That is all we do at the minute anyway. Hopefully the shops and culture will go back to being good so there is something worth purchasing clothes for.
shop description of garment:
This turtle neck cable knit jumper by Isle is a perfect addition to your wardrobe. Knitted in a classic fit, this style is perfect for layering. Designed with a flattering scallop trim and a cable knit pattern which adds to the contemporary look.
Care Instruction: Machine washable at 30°
Fabric Composition: 100% Acrylic
Also available in these shades, cream is probably the most practical if it is your colouring. I would of gone for lilac, but not my shade. It is summer like the model, she would suit lilac as well. The reds are quite bright so would suit Autumn.
BLUE JUMPER
£26.00 £13.00
Just found this in the sale, really like the neck. It is a variation of the original polo neck idea.
Said at the beginning I don’t copy things exactly anyway.
This would look lovely under the belted dress, or with a little skirt or trousers and some flapper girl heels, New Look used to sell those pre – covid. Had some really nice brown ones, would go for winter colours now, really pleased with this. Not sure which season it is, but winter has a lighter tone of this colour.
Lovely feminine knitted jumper with smart decorative tie detail at the side turtle neck. Flattering and comfortable in a soft touch modern stretch yarn. Team with Honor Millburn Collection Trousers and Skirts for a great new season look.
Not sure what size it will come up as?
Not bad for £13. Again if I don’t like it will do for keeping my neck warm when walking.
The choker necklace
Found some beads to make a necklace yourself:
Found these beads if you feel like making the necklace yourself. You could stay with the pink idea or re – cordinate the look with your favourite or seasonal colours.
- Package Size:1 Strand per package
Not sure how many beads you would need to make the necklace?
£1.83 per strand
pandahall.com/p-1064059-natural-gemstone-agate-round-bead-strands-dyed-deep-pink
One strand may be enough?
I’ve opted for pink and blue
If there isn’t enough was working on a similar project before covid.
Will try two strands and see what I get.
It isn’t rocket science how to make the necklace yourself. We used to re thread old necklaces when we were little. Panda Hall sells fastenings and thread also, have a browse if you are inspired by this.
Also found this one

FOUND A CHEAP PLASTIC ONE AT AMAZON

Caprilite 18mm Large Big Giant Faux Pearl Bead Statement Necklace Choker Vintage – Fuchsia Pink
This will go with the blue jumper
£6.99
Really like the cheap one. Wouldn’t wear this on it’s own to be honest, but it looks good over a polo neck.
The nylon stretchy dress belt
Ro Rox Florence Vintage Belt
£5.75
Ro Rox Florence Vintage Belt
Elasticated Belt For Women | Retro Wide Belt | Nurse 50’s Style Belt | Belt With Stretch | Ladies Belts For Dresses With Silver Buckle
Had a Jane Norman jacket with a belt like this, worked well on me, I haven’t got a small waist, which is one of the current trends. So this style of belt makes a waist for you.
It comes in different colours so worth a browse.
Women’s Dress Belts, Adjustable PU Leather Waistband Wide Waist Belts for Dresses
KYEYGWO Women’s Dress Belts
Adjustable PU Leather Waistband Wide Waist Belts for Dresses Ladies with Double D Rings Buckles
£17.29
This one is more expensive, but looks quite similar to the original one.
Purchasing the blue one also. The red and brown ones are really nice too.
KYEYGWO Women’s Dress Belts, Adjustable Wide Waist belts for Dresses Ladies with Round Buckle
£15.19
Not exactly the same, but similar.
I have a high waist, so I need to create a waist. Hopefully this idea will help us if you have a high waist or no waist like me.
Hopefully the acrylic belts pull in more than the leather ones. Especially on the oversized clothing.
Purchasing all the products I advertise, will play around with them and hopefully create some looks
Quite happy so far.
Purchasing the shoes:
Decided to get them from XY
As always not copying it exactly.
I have to get round toes, (don’t want to bore you with why)
Also get my seasonal colours now.
Put in a search for round toes and heels these are the selection to match this look for winter colours.
If you want to copy the look exactly – just put in beige round toe shoes with small heel.
If you want to opt for seasonal colours – just put in your colours where it asks for colours.
These are higher, but the model is tall so these will work if your small.

ARIES

IN BLUE
xylondon.com/aries-slip-on-low-block-heel-sandals-square-toe-woven-mules-in-blue
These aren’t a variation on this look at all, but couldn’t help notice how they look like a similar colour to the edinburgh mill shop jumper
These look really stylish together, but also ridicoulsy comfortable. Really pleased with these two, also really cheap but hopefully don’t look it.
also come in white to match the belt – will match the navy belt also

Forever NewJojo Twist Midi Dress
£100.00 £51.75
fenwick.co.uk/women/clothing/dresses/day/jojo-twist-midi-dress
This is similar – just needs a hem
wow would never of thought of this – love it and ridiculously good value, solves the gap problem, you could even take off the sleeves and wear the jumper over the top.
French Connection
Cilla Broderie Anglaise Dress
£99.00 £50.00
fenwick.co.uk/women/clothing/dresses/day/cilla-broderie-anglaise-dress
You would need to take the ribbon belt off, The jumper would fit under with the sleeves of the dress creating a designer effect
The length is possibly the same, but could be longer depending on your height compared to the model. May need hemming. Quite a nice winter colour variation.
This is similar in style, just the sleeves are shorter, think this could work, you just need to take the ribbon off and put a belt on instead
This is nice for summer
Whistles
Nina Diagonal Fleck Midi Dress
£69.00 £55.20
fenwick.co.uk/women/clothing/dresses/day/nina-diagonal-fleck-midi-dress
Like the print, can alter length, matches this jumper.
Need the tights next. Will update if I find them. Hopefully now covid is over the shops might restock with ones that fit properly.
Description of tv fashion look:
The model in the film has layered tight fitting clothes with oversized clothes, then pulled it all in with jewellery and a belt. The shoes have given the look height.
Would never of thought of doing this before.
Hopefully the shops will come back while I’m waiting for my order. Our blogging would be a lot easier if they did, mind you wouldn’t of had to struggle like this and discover film fashion.
As always can’t really recommend any of this unless I actually receive it. The idea is there though. It might inspire you to mix some of the clothes you already have with the current mis-shaped clothes and get them to work.
Must admit, really enjoying film blogging, think I will keep doing this whatever happens with the highstreet.
