Equipment sleeveless silk pocket blouse So. This was a long time coming. I’ve been adding and subtracting to my wardrobe for so many years that nothing I’ve owned has ever truly looked a little worse for wear. The whole notion of conscious or conspicuous consumption is that you re-wear your core wardrobe pieces to the point that eventually you will need to replace them. They’ll start looking a little sad; the colour will fade, stains will become permanent, fabric will stretch, and holes will appear where they shouldn’t. I’ve had it happen before.

It didn’t take me long to pull out the hard drive and start trawling through photo upon photo of my travels to Europe, old blog photos, or those small little moments which I had completely forgotten about; like a catch up drink with an old friend, or the inevitable archive of kitten photos (because lets face it, why wouldn’t you?). And…
Acne Studios ‘bliss’ t-shirt, Nobody denim shorts, Le Specs sunglasses, Celine cabas tote, Schutz fidji heels It’s not really summer yet, although you wouldn’t know it given that I’ve been down at the beach the last three weekends (and even gone beyond just dipping my feet in the water!).
