Thrifted skirt, Gap tee, French Connection necklace, TK Maxx sandals

Yes, I did wear this skirt a mere two weeks ago, but I do love it so. It’s really easy to wear – because it packs such a punch, I like to team it with a simple tee. But anyway. We’re not here to talk about the skirt. The skirt is old news compared to my NECKLACE!

I never go in French Connection, but my sis-in-law to be has more expensive tastes than I, so when shopping with her last week we popped in. And I’m so glad we did. Never have I been so enamoured with metal and plastic. So pretty! I was very impressed with FC’s collection too – next time you’re shopping, go in and have a look-see.

Which high street shops are impressing you right now? Or maybe you’ve been inspired by an independent label? Tell me all!

Okay, okay. I admit. I wore this outfit on Friday. And I made my decision on Saturday. But I can’t resist a little bit of alliteration, so decision-making Monday it is.

My amazing friend Ellie at Pretty Much Penniless recently wrote about her desire to do so many things with her life, and the feeling that she wanted to get started NOW, before life slips away. I can relate to this on so many levels, and it felt very apt to read those words at this particular point.

I’m hoping to make some big changes. To my life, to my career and to my attitude. I know I’ll share them all with you, dear followers, when the time is right. But for now, I’ll set off into unknown territory, as steady on my feet as a newborn Bambi but with just as much enthusiasm.

I hope you’ll wish me luck. And, as always, tell me if you feel the same. Are you making big changes too? Do you wish you could, but feel to scared to jump? We can do it together… I’ll even hold your hand!

Although I don’t mind too much, because the grey skies match my fab new blazer. A new summer cover up means I can retire an old favourite for a while – goodbye, blue striped blazer. You served me well.

Have you pushed aside something old and comfortable in favour of the shiny and new? And what do you think of my new hair? I’ve been told I look positively owl-like, which is obviously a huge compliment!

PS – I still need to see your far out fashion for this week’s Wardrobe Wonderings follow up. Send me a photo of you rocking a beautifully brave look and you’ll feature right here. Don’t forget to link me to your blog if you have one!
