My Style 25 July: Brown and Black and Fashion Trends

July 30, 2010

I don’t follow fashion trends.  I wear what I like and what suits me.  If I like what’s ‘in’ then I guess I’m in. If not, then I’ll just be a out-of-date me. Black and Brown? It’s so 2009 apparently.  My husband and I had three children while we students (not sure how we survived, but we did), so I know all [...]

My Style 23.10.09: Planning a Special Outfit

July 20, 2010

In October 2009 I was 30. So technically, I’m still 30. Do I sound paranoid?  Maybe I AM paranoid. I’d hate to be paranoid.  Am I sounding paranoid?  No, I’m not paranoid about it — well maybe just a little. I surprised myself when I realised how afraid I was to be 30.  I still like to skip, jump over [...]

July 7, 2010

My Style 20.6.10: Class

July 2, 2010

Today I dressed in a jersey jumpsut (am I too old for a jumpsuit?).  I threw on my red coat, gold flats and handmade scarf and then, the mail came… In the mail came my gorgeous Kellie Christie button brooch. It would have looked fine with the outfit I was wearing, but fine is never a good word is [...]

My Style 26.6.10: Casual Elegance

June 26, 2010

Every Mum needs an outfit like this.  Firstly, and most importantly, the jersey material doesn’t need ironing.  Secondly, it’s so comfortable, you could sleep in it (minus the belt).  Thirdly, it’s an outfit that carries you from day-time shopping to a night-time outing.    Jersey Dress: Harris Scarfe $20 Belt: Fashion Fair Long Cardigan: Fashion Fair [...]
