Dressing is an adventure not a chore.
Coat (Jumble sale), Hat and boots (Charity shop), Blouse (TopShop), Suede shorts (Clothes Show Live, Vintage Village)
I only own clothes I love, if I don't feel wonderful in something it goes.
I never buy for practicality or to match something I already own. I shop like a magpie, grabbing beautiful colours and fabulous fabrics from church halls and charity shops with no thought as to whether they will fit into my wardrobe. The only criteria I have for buying something is that I have to love it.
Crochet shawl (Jumble sale)
As long as I feel fabulous I don't care if other people think I look ridiculous.
You look fab!!! i think this is your best outfit yet ;) You don't look ridiculous at all! you look like you know yr stuff....i'm in love with he topshop top and crochet shawl.. and the jewel like colours look great together, who would have thought that lovely top is from Topshop!

The hat! It's the hat that makes it. What brilliant use of colour. Love it
ReplyDeleteif you was to describe this outfit without pics it might sound a bit odd, having seen it yet again you look stunning :)
ReplyDeleteYou're a huge inspiration xx
love this look!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for those lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteI was stopped by some fashion students earlier today and asked if it was okay if they took some photos as they thought I was "supremely stylish".
G: The TopShop blouse was picked up in their sale a couple of weeks ago for £5 - I'd had my eye on it for a while and so was delighted as it started off at £32!
