I bought rather more than I intended to this month, but, because I'm taking part in Slow Fashion Season, it's all secondhand. THIS YEAR Stripe crop top £2.00 I bought this to wear under my navy jumpsuit which I hadn't worn much due to the weather not being as consistently scorching as last year. It's perfect for it's intended use and will hopefully...
I return home, plug in my phone so that I can tell my husband that I’m back, I put the kettle on and say hello to the cats. I eat two Chunky Kit Kats in the time it takes Andy to get home. He’s pleased to see me, as I am him. He laughs when he asks to see my photos and I...
Photo An Hour fell on the Saturday I attended Latitude Festival in Henham Park, Suffolk. It's the 5th year I've been, the 3rd year of camping for the whole weekend, and this was possibly the best one yet! We opted for Pink Moon camping, which whilst expensive, offered a spacious pre-pitched tent, non-communal showers, vanity stations with hairdryers, nice(ish) portaloos, and it's own...
For this set of outfits I decided to wear items that I still owned from 2011, when I did the Wearing It All challenge the first time around. We'd just moved, everything was chaos, and as I unpacked my clothes I wondered if I really needed so many, that's when the Wearing It All challenge was born. Below are the first three items,...
Having full rein of my wardrobe after a few years of utilising capsule wardrobes is actually really rather nice. After the first few days of the Slow Fashion Season I decided to put together a series of outfits containing at least one item of clothing that rarely gets worn. Everything below, with the exception of the skinny jeans, has either never been worn,...
A few days ago I convinced my husband to spend £160 on toilet paper. "Has this got something to do with reducing plastic?" he asked. "Yes" "Gimme numbers" he said "don't come at me with a half baked idea" "Well, the one we have now costs 17p per 100 sheets, if we buy in bulk this one is 13.5p per 100 sheets, it's...
So summer arrived a few weeks ago, but with one thing and another I didn't get around to posting this. Here are a few things I'd like to do over the summer... 1. Tucking in I want to eat in a restaurant every day for seven days, be it for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. This is something I tried to do during...
I signed up to Slow Fashion Season last month, it's a pledge to avoid purchasing any new items for the summer, to encourage shopping your wardrobe, shopping secondhand, and making do and mending. I knew it'd be easy for me to do as I buy brand new items so infrequently these days. It's for this reason that I decided to make it more...
You've seen this skirt many times before. It's appearing on the blog today because it's earned it's #30Wears Badge of Honour. Given that I purchased this in January 2018 I'm surprised at how long it's taken me to reach #30Wears (40 at the time of writing), especially as I wear it all year round. One of the reasons for keeping a tally was...
