I can not quite believe that I can't wear this top again for a while now. I love it and genuinely believe that it can be worn anywhere, no matter what the occasion, which is exactly what makes it such a classic piece. Stripes are super versatile but one of my favourite ways to wear them is with florals, they go together like...

A much shorter post for you today - just a quick look at today's outfit. It's a little more exciting than yesterday's effort and not just because I'm wearing new sandals (purchased within the the boundaries of all three rules). Thanks for your comments so far, I've still got a long way to go... I tried sorting all of my clothes into piles...

Day 2 and I'm really missing my favourite jeans… I went for something simple today - Levi jeans and a slouchy jumper. I popped a scarf into my bag in case it turned chilly and kept accessories simple, just a silver necklace and ring. As promised yesterday, here are a few of the items that received a second chance. This dress was a...

I started the day with a bit of a Monday morning frenzy. Having got up a little later than I should have, I was all set to pull on my go-to jeans and then I remembered. My favourite jeans came a cropper at the weekend. I think I've killed them. Unless superglue washes out (anyone that has any tips on superglue removal will...

doing the Math... Bunnipunch pointed me the direction of MATH, I've done the numbers and I love it. My fav pieces? This jacket and these draped shorts. A joy to behold. Images from MATH Spending far to much time perusing the new Next Directory... I should be painting, unpacking boxes and plumbing in my washing machine, but...  Images from Next Bidding on eBay... ...

For my next wardrobe challenge I am going to be wearing all of my clothes. My objective? To identify what works, what doesn't and what just takes up space in my wardrobe. The rules are simple - I have to wear every item of clothing I own before wearing something for a second time. If it doesn't fit, doesn't go with anything else...

After painting a kitchen, a lounge, a dining room and a bedroom I am officially bored with wearing decorating clothes. They will be worn again soon and with alarming frequency thereafter... ... but for now it feels so nice to be wearing something else! It felt a little monochrome so I added a hint of colour in the form of Rimmel's Coral in...

...Versatile. It took me ages to decide on my third and final word and Thank You for all your helpful suggestions.  Style(ish) was a strong contender but I realised that these three words should describe my style. I chose versatile because I don't have work clothes or best clothes or weekend clothes (that said I DO have decorating clothes). I don't compartmentalise my...

I'm finding some time to catch up on my blog reading. When I say time, I mean my lunch hour. It's been nice to switch off from my life for a while and catch up with others. I swiped this from Danni the Girl, who swiped it from Sophie at A Country Girl Does Norfolk, who swiped it from The Brunette Diaries... I...

Moving... Hence the lack of posts or any blog reading and commenting. I love my new home but there is so much to do! Things should calm down soon but normality is some way off just yet. Has anything exciting been happening? With paint in my hair and my clothes still in boxes, I bid you goodnight. ...

Hello, in the midst of moving madness I found my only item of clothing that has a touch of yellow for the Everybody, Everywear challenge... I can't wear yellow. It really doesn't suit me, which is such a shame as I love the colour. My mustard yellow bag came from Very last year (Socks is clearly intrigued) and the t-shirt is H&M. Right,...

You'd think that with moving into a new house, renovating a flat and working full time I'd have no time to ponder my own personal style... However, packing up my wardrobe made me realise how many clothes I have that I do not wear and how few really complement each other. Also, I have read numerous blog posts on the subject of ethical...

It has arrived. Finally delivery date? 27th June, one month and four days from the time of order. Two days later I received a letter telling me the dress would be delivered at the beginning of July and the necklace at the end of July. Eh?? But... oh never mind. The sad thing is that the dress looks ridiculous on me. So, if...
