Soft Focus

I feel as if recently I've been making lots of empty promises in terms of this blog but its all about to change! I'm back on track as of now fingers crossed as I've had some news to spur me into action... As of two days ago I've been offered an interview for Westminster Fashion Buying. I know its only a small step forward but i'm very excited. If its good enough for Christopher Bailey (Burberry) its good enough for me!

Ive chosen pink as the theme for my first true new years post. Pink to make the boys wink, and pink because i want to see life through rose tinted glasses for the moment!

Blazer- eBay (ASOS), T-shirt- Zoe Karssen, Ring- Primark, Chain- Accessorize.

I was so excited for this blazer to arrive in the post that i put it on straight away, i snapped it up for £12.75 a fraction of its original £70 and its Silk too. I find it really hard to get a well fitting jacket as having a long body and very narrow shoulders, most styles just tend to make look like I'm a child playing dress up. This one i think is pretty good. Ive been wanting something pink for a while now too, at first i was looking for something a little brighter but this is much more wearable. For work now i'll pair it with slouchy white Tees and my leather trousers and as it gets into spring wear it as a suit with pink cigarette pants. My T-shirt is Zoe Karssen, a dutch label I've been championing for a while now. Its all quirky kitsch slogan Tees made of the softest jersey you can imagine. This Bat T-shirt is one of the original collections but i treated myself to a grey 'No Love Lost' motto one at New Year. My Jewellery is all cheap and cheerful high street, the chain is going brassy now but i can't bring myself to replace it, the Ring reminds me of House of Harlow a lot.

The Roses in the top picture i bought whilst passing through M&S on the way home for work, they're beautiful. Palest pink and huge blooms, they were also possibly the greatest bargain I've ever had. 10p reduced from £15 because it was the end of the day i felt so smug walking home with my gorgeous bouquet.

For the next few weeks I'm really going to get my head down, get posting some more and prepare for my interview. No doubt ill have endless wardrobe dilemmas in the run up, so i'll keep you posted!
