“How long is it going to hang in my wardrobe unworn and unloved before I admit it was an error of judgement?”

 

 

When it comes to spending money on clothing I always tend to go with the cost per wear factor for justification

“How much wear will I get out of this?”

“How diverse is this item?”

“How long is it going to hang in my wardrobe unworn and unloved before I admit it was an error of judgement?”

 

 

So with that in mind accessories, shoes and outerwear generally tend to be where I spend the most of my wardrobe budget and party outfits tend to go up on the back burner. In reality though, our party wear is the one thing that we generally really want to really stand out, make a statement and push comfort zones with but there so many events a festivities in the pipe line, for me it isn’t viable to wear a different expensive outfit each time.

15Utilise the Premium High Street

The Premium High street changes the game when it comes to finding those special items without spending a fortune. Aside from the Premium high stores there are a number of collections launching. Missguided, whose current Campaign Star is none other than Badie Winkle,  currently have a stunning Premium collection inspired by designers such as Balmain and Herve Leger. Meaning you are able to hone iconic styles and details for a fraction of the price, so all is not lost if you do only wear it for that one event.

 

 

Multi Way

But if wearing an item once simply isn’t in your wardrobe vocabulary, you can do some real savvy shopping and opt for items that can be worn a multitude of ways taking this Oh-so-Balmain Blazer dress from Missguided’s current Premium Collection. It can be worn as a statement dress with strappy gladiator heels for a real dressy event, or dressed down slightly and worn as a blazer over leather trousers. Two very wearable outfits in one.

 

 

Shop The Sales

A great way to get more for your money is to shop the sales, discounts and outlets of online and highstreet stores regularly to pick up the best items because, I mean, who doesn’t want to get more for their money? Many stores, especially online, have Outlet sections built in to their shopping experience or have regular discount codes for you to utilise for example, Missguided currently have 30% off full price clothing with the code “NAUGHTY30” making this Balmain inspired number a little more appealing.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
