A guide to style and good tailoring

Hi welcome to my own unique perspective on what constitutes style and individualism. The vast majority of the photos are taken using a mobile phone camera and I have no make up on.......

I'm in my late 30's and I'm also a widow which probably explains why I look so god damn hot in black, well that and being an ivory skinned pale red head! It also documents my wardrobe, so many people seem fascinated by my clothes and compliment me for how I look wearing them.

It is one woman's campaign against Jeans, Tracksuits and Ugg Boots!

More importantly it's about altering your view on life and trying to do the right thing even though it isn't always the easiest.

This blog is a story in taking pride in yourself and not letting yourself go, or settling for second best because you know what girls? No one really is better than someone if they don't treat you like a Queen................

Merv V Madam Undersecretary Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge

Marv says it's the Battle for Hogwart's dress where the dogs and I take on the Crazy pink cat lady AKA Dolores Umbridge. The truly unpleasant thing about her is that she actually seems to believe that she is doing the right thing, despite her actions being abusive and morally wrong. 
 
She is the epitome of the "Do Gooder" and if there is one thing I have little tolerance for it is the self righteous who hide behind laws, god or institutions to bully and degrade and abuse people in the name of what they deem is "right". I wouldn't be me if I wasn't taking on the world (+ their cats) looking fabulous whilst I am winning.  
Beverley is made from beautiful material, it  has a wonderful vibrant mint green backing and then in a cross hatched or waffle design, there are flecks of coloured wool giving it a boucle look. It has lots of texture and dimension. The dress didn't come with a belt so I originally teamed it with the green one from Joannie but Marv was on the ball and came up with the idea of layering belts! I think it looks fantastic.

First They Came - Pastor Martin Niemoller

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out 
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out 
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out 
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out 
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
