So thank you very much; that's a whole lot of style! With this award I am meant to divulge seven things about myself that you may not know. Well I hate to say it but my life is an open book and I struggled to think of seven secrets (that I would be willing to post anyway.) So I have applied some mild interpretation, I hope you don't mind...
What is style? Here are seven things about my style...
One
I like really simple, classic dressing...which at the moment makes me want to wear jeans, boots and a blazer. Come to think of it, I like grosgrain ribbons, ballet flats, navy stripes, crisp white shirts, alice bands, funnel-neck coats, LBDs and surprising quirks in an outfit like a studded belt.
Two
I have a string of pearls that my husband gave me and despite being unsure of them to start with, now I love them so much; they improve any outfit, any day.
Three
One of the most stylish and desirable things for me is healthy, glowing skin. Getting it is like chasing the elixir of life...
Four
I can't abide scuffed shoes and raggedy handbags; I am big on polishing and looking after leather ware.
...oh Olivia...the life you lead... |
I often get dressed up then take off half the accessories; I try not to have too much 'going on' in one outfit. I have to tell myself: the dress is enough.
Six
Only wear what you love. If in your heart you think it's a so-so item, ditch it.
Seven
Like so many things in life; less is more...
