Collars and cuffs


Apparently the statement necklace is your new best friend in fashion/ the perfect way to update your outfit/the secret of ageless dressing and even better: a stylish way to jazz up an old top...hmmm, do you think I've been spending way too much time on fashion websites? As someone with a teetering pile of old tops on her shelves in desperate need of jazzing, I went in search of big jewellery. So today I've taken inspiration from Dame Judy (or more to the point my Mum who has always been a bit of a fan of a statement necklace.) 

We were out for dinner with friends tonight and I broke out my new skinnies from Primark (£13 and they fit me better than any jeans I have, I may have to get them in all colours). Embarrassingly my friend was wearing the SAME jeans (hers were from Next but seriously they are identical) so we looked like a couple of clones. I haven't done that since I was 14 and my friend Philippa and I went to town in matching knickerbockers, burgundy jumpers and pixie boots, deliberately, I wish I had a photo of that fabulous fashion moment. 

Anyway, my outfit went like this: boring classic black jumper, gorgeous new statement collar, silver cuff...and for the first time ankle boots with skinnies. Yes, ankle boots...that's definitely progress.

The first week of my style challenge is over. Just...gulp...43 outfits to go.
