My youngest daughter has a big problem- She wants to be taller! It’s really funny as she’s tall as she is but because I am so tall and she is smaller than my eldest daughter she feels she isn’t tall enough!
When I was at school I was head and shoulders above everybody else, hence walking with a stoop to try and disguise my tall frame. Even now both my daughters make the odd joke if I slip on a pair of heels (Which isn’t very often) because I tower above everyone!
I like the whole gothic trend that is around this winter. It takes me back to when I was a teenager and I went through a whole goth phase! I would wear only black, black eyeliner was a staple and I even went as far as wearing black lipstick which sent my mother into dismay! However, I do feel because winter is so dark and miserable black can often get a bit dark and heavy. Although it can be a very comfortable colour to wear and let’s me slip back into my comfort zone.
I love the layered look and would not be without my silk thermal vest which sounds terribly boring but keeps me snug. I love the Oxford shift dress it’s so Audrey Hepburn and just one of those dresses you can wear for any occasion. In the LTS catalogue, it’s shot with a big brooch and oversize bag but you could tone down the accessories and wear it to the office. Just team it with a pair of heels, big chandelier earrings and some gloves for an extra luxurious look.
I can’t imagine myself wearing the Circus themed trend, I don’t like the bowler hat look, I think you have to be careful as it doesn’t suit everyone. I will be sticking to my cashmere scarf, gloves and Ugg boots which I can’t leave home without!
