The art of dressing well is not complicated. Whatever your budget, just invest in the best you can afford. It does however take a little time, and a few well chosen pieces, so that you always have the right things in your wardrobe.
I'm always excited at the start of a new season, and sometimes there is something so, fresh and new that it literally makes me swoon, I have that (can't live without moment) and will throw it lovingly into the mix.
Something tells me that may just happen........But, I guess that's allowed, isn't it?
Loving the monochrome Helen and also the stripes, you cant go wrong with a stripe or two :) xx
ReplyDeleteOh Helen where to start some gorgeous inspiration here! Loving all the monochrome, stripes & khaki. Isn't it just lovely how as soon as the sun starts shining we can start thinking lazy sunny days & new wardrobes :-)
