I love your new sweaters! You suit that soft ballerina look so much. I know that handwashing can sometimes feel like a chore, but I choose to look at it as a slow-living, meditative practice. A drop of lavender essential oil added to the wash water adds to the experience!

Omg I thought those were baby clothes and thought how adorable they looked! 😂

Handwash or use specific wool machine programs with a gentle detergent. But first you dont need to wash wool sweaters that often if they are good quality. Use a steamer instead and only wash once per season! ❤😊

Omg I cried 🤭 I only wash wool and cashmere with shampoo or hair mask (tons of it) . Just let for some hours in the water, always in cold water and never never rub it. this happens (felt) by washing in hot water and rubbing. So sorry 🥰

Hi ! I do not know if you still have your jumpers but one trick I learned is you can stretch them back by adding conditioner. Since it’s natural fibres the conditioner helps to relax the fibres. Hope this helps ❤

Awww bless you. X very pretty the ones you have bought and they suit you so much.... sometimes buying second hand....vintage has man advantages....as long. Your comfortable with it...I have bought many items for my granddaughter. 21 months. Knowing how much she is growing...I bring them home and wash immediately... Then it makes me feel better .. 😊I hope you are having a wonderful time...💐

Is it bad I was watching these sweaters and thinking of my 2 year old in them and how sweet they’d be 😂😂 so glad you laughed though we have all been there I’m sure! Loving your Paris vlogs ❤

SO happy to another vlog - and a long one! I feel the same way about finding good vintage pieces. Never feel like I have luck. Please share any great places. 💕💐

I had an experience with one of my favorite wool, sweaters, shrinking after accidentally making it into the washer. Thankfully, I caught it before I went to the dryer, but it was washed on warm… I know have my own laundry basket because I have many wall, cashmere, silk, and other natural fiber, clothing items that need some special care. When they do need washing. So sorry, this happened to your lovely sweaters! These vintage shops are really incredible! I really wish I had some thing like that here where I live. I have to dig around through many thrift stores to find something decent, maybe. But over the years I have created quite a wardrobe sorting through many of the shops. What I am even more impressed by is the people in the videos, walking the streets, and in the shops. Their style is classically and casually elevated compared to what I see here in the panhandle north west of America. Maybe it’s the difference of being a city compared to a more rural setting, but still, much more practical for weather than the people, I see here where we can get four seasons in one day. It’s really common to see people here in the dead of winter wearing jeans and a T-shirt and freezing as they tried to snow. People who lived here a long time. I just don’t understand it. But things like fur and trenchcoats and wool are so practical for balmy weather!

I am happy to see that you succeeded at finding what you needed and wanted 💚. As you said, it can be so very difficult to find what you want and which fits as well. You'll certainly remember that shrinking episode 😄

Hi Jess, Paris suits you, you are glowing ✨. Enjoy every minute there and thank you for taking us with you 🙃. P.S. the new Maje jacket is a great fit for you and looks so cozy. Take care.

We all have been there : shrinking sweaters 😢. Wool can be so delicate. Love the two new sweaters too! You look fabulous! Gorgeous shop too. 💖

I love how you turned a bad situation around. You have found some really beautiful sweaters to replace the old ones! And in relation to shopping vintage clothes? To me, it is rather different to shopping new clothes. It is like using a different muscle. I shop almost entirely vintage or secondhand and have done so for quite a few years now. For me, it takes such a long time to find the good pieces. I usually have an idea of what I need in my wardrobe, and then I kind of use that analysis as my guide when shopping. I am very picky and particular, am over 6 feet and can rarely fit a size 14 or 16 well either, and I simply refuse buying something that does not feel right anymore. But! Being picky and particular means that i have some great pieces in my wardrobe! I just bought a beautiful tailor made men's dress vest with a black wool front and a silk back and lining. It has taken me maybe six months to find it, I think? It has to feel right. It has to fit right. I have to feel like me in it. For me, vintage / second hand shopping is even slower because you and the pieces have to find your way to each other :)

Loved this vlog Jess!💕 you look beautiful!

I loved the pink sweater. It looked so good on you. But the new ones are nice too🤩.

Eucalan is amazing for handwashing wool. It doesn’t need rinsing and cares for the wool fibres. You have to be very careful with usual detergents. They often contain enzymes that break down proteins to remove, for example, blood stains. Wool, being made of protein, can literally be broken down over a number of washes. (From a knitter - once you’ve spent eleventy billion hours making a jumper, you don’t take any chances!)

You are glowing ✨️

Oh no poor you I was just thinking how lovely that sweater looked watching a video a few days ago. However the replacements are gorgeous, really enjoying your Paris videos. 😊

I always hand wash the wool jumpers.

You look amazing in your new coat! I'm so sorry for the sweaters, new ones look good though I would still rebuy a pink one if its available online, that color was perfect on you.

I've seen pay-by-weight vintage stores in Shoreditch; it was awhile back now so hard to say if they're still there. Pretty cool :D

I'm sorry about the ruined sweaters but you got some cute new sweaters there! It looks like you're having some gorgeous weather in Paris. Enjoy it

Johnson's Baby shampoo for washing cashmere and silk is perfect.

Maybe you could turn your sweaters into cushion covers.

Omgosh, sorry to laugh😂🤣I thought "Oh! Why is Jessica looking at little girls clothes?" "They look like her clothes"Its good you laughed about it but I no doubt that hurt.

I love Sezane wool jumpers, and have only ever hand washed - which is a pain - but am always so worried about shrinking them (as they are expensive) Hugs for your lost jumpers! I think it's a good job I don't live near Sezane and wonder how you only bought 2 🤣😳

So sorry for your sweaters 🥺 My advice is to send a picture to Sezane and ask if they can do something. They probably won’t give you a refund but sometimes you can have a promo code for your next purchase. That’s what happened to me once, and it was a sweater from a smaller brand, so I’d definitely give it a try ♥️

Hi Jessica, I know you live in Derbyshire like me. I’ve been to Sheffield this week and there is a Preloved Kilo shop on Division Street x

What are the jeans your wearing? I loved that pink sweater you had. So sad of their ending.

Oh man, I feel your dismay over the sweaters! Last summer, I washed on delicate a beautiful viscose dress and it shrank dramatically. I learned that viscose is not all the same...if it says dry clean only, they mean it 😪

Oh no I'm so sorry! the same thing happened to my sezane sweater - it was such a pain in the bummm so don't feel so bad about it :) May can I ask you which size you chose for your new sweaters & your lovely jacket?

I love that I discover new places with you 🤍 so sad for the sweaters 😢 at least you find great replacement 😍😍 love the first one !

They have felted. No way back from that I think. Shame but felted wool is great for craft projects.

hELLO from Montreal. Dear Jessica. I felt bad for you and your beautiful sweaters but I couldn't resist smiling. You handled the situation perfectly! Your new ones are beautiful on you. You truly are my hero. I admire your courage. Yes, beautiful to be in Paris but it is not easy to do what you decided to do. Bravo!!! I love your videos. One small suggestion: It would be great to add a french song to your beautiful videos. Enjoy the rest of your adventure. Amuse-toi bien et à bientôt. Bises xxx

I am so sorry, but it did make me laugh about the jumpers. I am always doing things like this. It nice that I am not just the only one. I washed my boyfriend's new rugby shirt. It was white. Not for long. It went pink. It was nice as a PJ's top. 🙈

Too bad about the jumpers. I have done the same thing and resorted to when travelling always taking long sleeve or short sleeve t-shirts and a blazer, keeps me warm when cool and looks dressy and same time casual. Is there a Zara in Paris that may have a sale? Or an H&M, I have bought a few blazers and not expensive. I gave up on heavy jumpers, I just buy from Zara dressy cotton blend jumpers. They all wash great and I hang them to dry. Love that cream jacket you are wearing, very stylish. Loved this shopping video and loved the ones you choice, even the carrier bag from the store was neat.

What size did you get in the Sezane sweaters?

I'm very sorry for your jumpers. I do wash all of my cashmere/wool jumpers by hand and dry them flat. Wish you a wonderful Tuesday evening in París. Greetings from Spain!

Oh I’m so sorry to see what happened to your Sezane sweaters. I wanted to see you window shop in Paris, I certainly wasn’t wishing you a mishap which would cause you to have to buy anything. Despite sweater-gate you look well ❤

Where is your basic white T-shirt from? I love the fit of it. So sad for your sweaters😭

Oh your poor sweaters...but love the new additions especially the scalloped, criss cross one. Absolutely gorgeous! Love a good vintage shop but agreed sometimes fit is an issue.

I hope you're enjoying Paris Jessica? I know you mentioned having your nose altered a few weeks ago but have you also had lip fillers and teeth whitened? I mention this only because you seem to be "looking in mirrors and camera lenses a lot more." I thought that you were less worried about things like that and you were always such a refreshing change from other Bloggers. Stay safe x

I also accidentally shrunk and felted my handmade sweater the other day 🥲

Oh my your new coat 😍😍. How do I spell the brand its from, Jess? 🙃

Yes Jess just replace them, there’s bound to be a sezane near you.

That’s the difference between cashmere and wool. Doesn’t wash well and isn’t as soft on the skin.

Oh my god,I feel your pain, do you have any friends with baby girls!
