Finding my style!

I haven't been able to express myself through clothes in a long time, only now I can. Heehee!!

I thought I would start to put together looks that I love, so that I can find some sort of personal style that I'm happy with. Don't worry if you hate it. Blame me.

There have been many years in which I haven't even crossed the threshold of a normal clothing store. I don't know simple things like what shopping at Next, Monsoon or H&M says about a person. These are points of reference that are entirely blank for me. On the other hand, I could comment on the precise socio-demographics of other types of stores - but that is an intrusion of day-job geekery on my happy blog. No, no, no.

This is simply me exploring. Playing in the dressing up box, if you like. So this is my look for the first sunny, not too windy and definitely not with ominous rain clouds, type of day - really, the first true day of spring.

You can click for links to the gorgeous Dutchie bike, the silk Boden dress, the Brora cashmere cardigan, my Cambridge Satchel Co. batchel would be embossed in gold (initials or Polly...Hmmm?), the Michael Kors white ceramic watch, the River Island red sandals and the super cute fox ring. (I think I irrationally love this because it looks just like our old dog, Twinks, who passed away a few years ago. He was a pomeranian but with the same attributes as Lyra's daemon from His Dark Materials. I still miss him daily.)

 

The only thing I'd add is that my Dutchie would have the big basket on it, like this.

Can't you just see the wind whipping through my hair as I ride down to Musselburgh for a Nutella icecream from Luca's?
