a look back

A self-indulgent look back at a few sartorial high points of the past year. This year my style resolutions are:

- Find a good cobbler and take better care of my shoes--no more walking on shredded heels and cracked leather
- Avoid any style that makes me look 20 lbs. heavier or 6 inches shorter than I actually am. I'm too old for that ish
- Try paring down my style (not comfortable with the word "minimalism yet") while still keeping it luxe and interesting
- Avoid fast fashion. It's the clothing equivalent of McDonalds: easy to get, terrible waste of resources
- Stock up on well-made, timeless basics (white button-downs, wool trousers) and don't be afraid to pay a little more for them

What are yours?

  3. Ahhh amazingggg! I don't think there's anything that could make you look chunky or short - and if there is you definitely aren't too old. Actually I'm only 21 so that does make you pretty ancient I suppose..!

    Just kidding :) I'd love a gilet like that but instead of looking all hippy chic I actually look like an oversized/obese sheep so sadly I have to steer clear.

    And your wish is my command! I only managed to get my camera back on NYE from when I abandoned it in a bar before Christmas and haven't had a second to post since. Being back at work is NOT FUN but I was actually in for three days (full working hours!!!) between Christmas and New Year so I am still sulking over that never mind just being back in today! :) x
