          Nothing to Wear

          October 30, 2018

          You’re rushing out and want to wear something special but have ‘nothing’ in your wardrobe. Well, nothing that you love anyhow…going-out clothes can be tricky.

          So buy the one thing that will always work, look and feel amazing. A fail safe item, a fall back classic that rarely, if ever goes out of fashion. A silk shirt. Done up, tucked in or layered over a cami, there is something about the luxurious fabric and a subtle sheen that will be your forever friend.

          Go simple with a block colour and lift the look with a fun clutch, easily paired with jeans or classic trousers and sleek court shoes or ankle boots.

          I love this khaki version from Zara, oversized and slinky, just add a girlie pink beaded bag.

          Zara silk shirt, £69.99

          Aspiga pink glitter clutch, £75

          Or this burnt orange Autumn hue, adding a sparkle clutch.

          Pure Collection silk satin blouse, £120

          Mango flower sequin clutch, £49.99

          A berry shade of purple with a little bit of animal power.

          & Other Stories silk shirt, £69

          & Other Stories leopard circle bag, £89

          Or a fiery red with a printed bag worth talking about.

          Kitri red silk shirt, £105

          & Other Stories flying crane bag, £69

          I would always prefer to choose pure silk but there are viscose (and poly!) blends out there that feel pretty good if the shape is better for you.  Just make sure it has the silky luxury to make you feel wonderful when going out or even ‘Out out’.

          Moving through my forties I've gained confidence to believe in 'style over trends' - quality wins (most of the time) and not to take it all too seriously. A great jacket is always my motto, and I like to play about with old and new and mix in some craft ideas too. I work with lovely clients who want a concise wardrobe or a unique outfit for a special occasion. I hope to inspire you.
