Thoughts of shallowness
Hey, I can be shallow. I read Marie Claire and this is what I found out about this seasons fashion:
COLOURS: This season's colours are green (all shades) and plum.
STYLE: The 1970's are the influence this season. That means bold print shirts and flaired denims. Think Margaret Thatcher: pussy bow blouses, tweed pencil skirts, round toe shoes, skinny belts, kirby grips, ribbons, bows and brooches.
FABRICS: This season mix and match fabrics for instance, silk, suede and denim. Tweed is also very big.
HAIR: Think curls.
FASHION TIPS: a) Observe people in magasines who are a similar shape and size to you. What suits them (in terms of style not colour) is likely to suit you. b) Ask Kate pickering for a colour consultation: she will be able to tell you what season you are and what colours will suit your complexion and hair colouring. c) Find a well- dressed lady to date or marry. She will (without you realising) transform your wardrobe. You will go from someone without a clue to a man with style. Think Swan or Stickland. d) Ask a friend to go through your wardrobe with you and tell you honestly what does and doesn't suit you. Chuck away the clothes that do nothing for you away even if that means starting over again and walking aroung in your underwear for a few days. e) If you are a little skint good shops are Hennes and New Look. Here, if you look hard enough you can get some good stuff.

Val, that is perceptive of you. I married a well dressed girl and she has improved my wardrobe too. But it does take away some autonomy cos you suddenly feel you can't just impulse buy anymore, incase it doesn't pass the wifely approval.

hey val, jen here, randomly perusing your blog. i like your fashion tips, but lament the fact that most women in magazines appear in the skiiny shpae only and not bigger bum shape. hennes get's my vote for cheap clothes, as do charity shops. x
