Weekly Wardrobe 10

Hi all! First and foremost I feel I ought to apologise for being a terrible blogger of late. Have been coping with the Great British Exodus, which includes several of my favourite UK-dwellers coming to stay with me on consecutive LONG weekends (i.e. Thursday to Monday) for the last three weeks. It has been utterly lovely having them all here, but I feel my blogging abilities have suffered somewhat. 

To make up for my neglectful ways, I'm giving you another thing that has been neglected of late: the Weekly Wardrobe Feature. I wore this to work last Friday as the weather was beginning to turn summery and I felt so kick-ass in it I can't tell you. There's something incredibly empowering about blazers. (Name of Fran's next novel: "The Empowerment of the Blazer") Casual but smart, the blazer's androgynous charm works for me every time.

Dress - Uniqlo
Blazer- H&M
Shoes - Marks&Spencer
Choker - Monki
Belt - Vintage (belonged to my Ma)

I have to say - and you may be surprised to hear this - but the glorious blazer actually got less attention than the space-age silver choker I was wearing. (I know right, what's with that?!) Below you will find some of the reactions my dear colleagues had to the item in question:

"It's a bit Daft Punk, innit?"

"Have you tried wearing it backwards? I think it would look prettier."

"Your necklace is 'hyper-beau'/tres jolie/super/wonderful/fab"

"Where's your leash?"

And, what has to be my personal favourite...

"You look like the submissive in a 50-Shades-Of-Grey type relationship"

Sigh. Some people just don't get fashion... Anyway, I hope you'll accept this tiny blog-nugget (blugget?) as a peace offering and that you'll all tune in tomorrow when this week's proper post WILL be up and ready to read. In the meantime, get in touch, leave a comment, follow me on Twitter - don't be a stranger! Would love to hear from you and all feedback/suggestions would be hugely appreciated. 

Happy Tuesday all!
