Stacey Solomon in green. Princess Kate in red. Put the two looks together and what does one get? Not that I’ve got anything at all against the Christmas tree look! It’s true that I’m not so keen on the long skirt and sleeves and the great big neck-tie, or the alternative all-boobs-on-display open top; apartContinue reading “Silly Style – Christmas with Kate & Stacey”

Savvy Style – Ginger Legs
Just about to order a pair of ‘Rustic Ginger’ tights to match my hair colour. I’m also guessing that they will look fab with the £6 dress I bought from Sainsbury’s autumn sale. The very friendly lady at the til joked that it might be next summer before I could wear my bargain, but I disagree.Continue reading “Savvy Style – Ginger Legs”
Savvy Style – On The Flat
If your employer insists upon you wearing high heels, … look for another job! Or, better still, go self-employed. There’s nothing as blissful as donning flats, day in and day out! And if, like me, you once aspired to be a ballerina – and now have arthritis, gout and everything else that could go wrong withContinue reading “Savvy Style – On The Flat”

Not that I wasn’t excited about another opportunity to upstage Princess Beatrice, with one of my bargain lookalikes – far from it! I was saving it for a rainy day! And, today, without aContinue reading “Savvy Style – Raining Flowers”
Savvy Style – Princess Forever …
Thought you’d seen the last of savvy-old me? No chance! Yes, I did bag myself up in no less than two Bargain Buy bin bags! But no, I didn’t stick with the bags when I upcycled them! In fact, I didn’t upcyle the bags at all – I just couldn’t bring myself to use my hand-sewnContinue reading “Savvy Style – Princess Forever …”

Savvy Style – Bag a Princess!
Update on the whole Princess-Beatrice-lookalike dress on a budget fiasco! As you saw in my previous post, Princess Budget, I did eventually achieve some success with my charity shop jaunt, with a floral wonder from Cancer Research UK – well under budget at £3! It’s true enough that it was a little short and improper, theContinue reading “Savvy Style – Bag a Princess!”
Savvy Style – Legs to Love
Having a branch out! And, no, I’m talking about an extension of my mountain-top tree look … … you can take a look at my post Dear Harry for further details about that particular campaign! Today, I branched out from writing book reviews, to enter the world of high fashion (i.e. cheap fashion). Yes, I know thatContinue reading “Savvy Style – Legs to Love”
Savvy Style – Dress to live!
“When do you think we might stop dressing the same as we did when we were twenty-something?” For a teeny bit of a moment, my much-younger (approaching forty) cousin-in-law’s question brings on a miniature wave of anxiety. Is she trying to make a statement? Is she dropping a mammoth-sized hint? I try to see myselfContinue reading “Savvy Style – Dress to live!”
