Fashion Monday #8

I have always been saying about the challenge looking cool without too much and it is all in the combinations. Here are a few past attempts. Before you go out think of a theme or an era! Fair enough you can't do this at 7 in the morning before you go to work but you can do before you go to a wedding! A new outfit helps but sometimes it is better to reinvent something!

From my anniversary in 2010 i think. Warehouse dress from the 40s 

Trying different outfits before a wedding in France. I loved my shoes (my Gucci wedding shoes) and couldn't afford the trip and a new outfit so i wore this dress that i had before. 

That is for another wedding, my brother's. Getting the dress right is one thing the rest is in the accessories. Warehouse dress and loads of blink. 

Those that know me know i am mad about yellow. This is a fave colour combination. Yellow and red! 

Try combing different colours. Stick to opposites or complimentary. It always works.

Fashion Monday #3

Hello again!

this week we had a lot of meetings so there were a few dresses around. Here are the best!

Here is Kay in a lovely green dress and really fab boots. I like how green and brown go so well together. 

This is moi, in a two-colour outfit. It does help if you stick to two colours as it keeps the outfit looking smart without too much effort. The challenge is of course getting the colours right. But if one sticks to a few colours in their wardrobe they can get some pretty good results.

The easier way of doing "the two colour outfit" is using same colour tights. These are mine in navy blue.

Kora is doing the two-colour outfit here with a jumper and tights in exactly the same colour!

Zoe is really proud of this lovely necklace.  

Zoe is wearing a fab dress here in teal!

Like i said before a treasure is a treasure whether it costs £1000 or £10. It all depends how durable, wearable and likable an item is! 

Fashion Monday #1

A few weeks ago whilst discussing with friends we decided to start posts for fashion choices for people that don't earn much! A cause, as noble as Zoolander's school for kids that don't read good! :-)
My rationale is that it is easy to have fab fashion sense if you are loaded, the challenge is in being presentable when skint.
So from now there will be a post every Monday dedicated on fashion. Here it goes.

 Here is lovely Kora with a lovely orange top! It is a brilliant find from a charity shop she loves. The colour of the top is a perfect match to her hair! A beautiful autumnal look!

Here is poor me not knowing when the click would happen! Right, i am wearing a new aubergine dress from H&M. I find these dresses really comfy and versatile because they just take your shape as you get bigger or smaller. I needed a dress that will "shrink" with me as i keep on loosing baby weight. I am wearing my favourite black cardi i bought last year in Greece and a silk scarf mum gave me a million years ago. It was hers but she gave it to me anyway as i loved that colour!

So here it goes! Tell us what you think!! What do you wear at work? Did you find it hard after having babies to fit into your old wardrobe?
