OK so here’s the rub…

I’m now back in the adult world of work and have spent the last three or four months desperately trying to build up a wardrobe of grown-up clothes for wearing to work. I had to go out to a meeting in a fifteen year old suit earlier this week because it was set up in a hurry and there wasn’t a weekend in between finding out about it and going! I now have a good core of mix and match items that can be shuffled about to look like different outfits but honesty? They’re all a bit dull really. Black, navy, grey and brown coordinates with an odd splash of colour from a scarf or cardigan.

It’s even true of my jewellery – classic pearls and other such things are great but frankly I need to light up my world a bit. I need sparkly stuff. I need colour. I need saving from a life of drab conformity.
