Whowhatwear Day 30: Leave the details to your shoes


These shoes have certainly earned their cost per wear value. I've probably had them over ten years, and I think they were around £10 from Primark. They've been re - heeled at least once and they're obviously not leather, but I love the colour and style. The heel is just the right height to be able to wear all day and they go with a surprising number of outfits. Sadly this was their last outing as they split at the sole and had to be binned. I went for a bit 
of a 70s vibe matching these shoes with suede and button -through denim.

Whowhatwear Day 27: Try a sleek and slouchy look


I think it's quite easy to look a bit drowned in a slouchy style, particularly when, like me, you're not blessed with great height. But by wearing these floor length wide leg suit trousers with heels, tucking in a silk vest and adding a fitted jacket it's possible to do sleek without being swamped.

Whowhatwear Day 20: Dress down your favourite little black dress.


This pic doesn't show the detail on this dress, which is a shame. It has a beautiful beaded hem which is sadly starting to unravel. I bought this dress from TK Maxx years ago as I didn't have a staple LBD in my wardrobe. It's been a  go-to piece for smarter events ever since, but it was nice to wear it as a day dress too.

Whowhatwear Day 2 - Mix at least two textures into your look

All of the fur! It was reallly cold and actually snowing when I left the house this morning, so wrapping up warm seemed like the best option. Coat, boots and headband for a furry texture, mixed up with black denim jeans, a really soft grey marl polo and a chunky suede belt.
