This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Nordgreen I’ve always been a fan of the old ‘one item worn several ways’ thing, and in a world where using what we have over endlessly chasing ‘new in’ is becoming increasingly important, showing that off has become a way – albeit a small one – to encourage loving what you already own. In fact, if you… Continue reading One piece, two ways – but not as you might expect | Nordgreen’s The Philosopher
This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Nordgreen. It’s strange to think that I once thought nothing of spending whole lunchtimes on the high street, returning to my desk with armfuls of fast fashion, some of which I would wear once and then resign to the back of the wardrobe. And it’s also a very strange… Continue reading How my approach to fashion has changed – and the Danish watch brand I love
This was supposed to be just another one of my week in work outfits posts, the twist being that I’m working from home right now, which given the current situation is not really a twist at all. I’ll tell you what happened: I really wanted to get dressed a bit more *properly* after my first full WFH week saw me in… Continue reading A week in (unsuccessful) work outfits: WFH edition
There are three weeks left of my three month ban on buying new clothes, shoes and accessories. You can read about Slow Fashion Season and why I decided to do it here, and I will be doing a more comprehensive post about what I’ve learnt and how I move forward when it’s officially over. For… Continue reading Three things that have happened since I stopped shopping
Rob was *delighted* when I announced that we would be taking a photo of my outfit every single morning on the way to work for a whole week, truly. And he’ll be even more delighted when I tell him that in a couple of months we’re going to do it again, because I thought I… Continue reading A week in work outfits: summer
It feels impossible to believe (and really quite embarrassing to admit) now, but as recently as a year ago the environmental impact of our collective fast fashion habit hadn’t even crossed my mind. I picked up new things regularly and with little thought; a lunchtime Primark trip here, a ‘pop in’ to H&M on the… Continue reading I’ve pledged to buy nothing new for three months and this is why
I have an embarrassing (because people insist on walking in on me) habit of documenting my daily outfits on Instagram with a lovingly shot mirror selfie in the office toilets. They’re truly terrible photos, but of the handful of things I do post regularly on stories these are one of those that get the most… Continue reading A week in work outfits
Forgive me this predictable introduction, please, but I have to say it: how are we so close to Christmas already? There’s barely a week of this year that didn’t feel like it happened extremely quickly, and certainly the past few weeks seem to have mystically disappeared. Now it’s 19th December, and I’m pushing it with the… Continue reading A mid-month catch up: December
I returned from my holiday at the end of September finally excited about dressing for Autumn. I bought two things within days of returning – a suit and some boots – and then, in a move that is unheard of for me, bought nothing at all for over a month. To confirm, I'm fully aware… Continue reading The things I’ve added to my wardrobe this Autumn/Winter
For more years than I care to remember, there was a common key factor in my clothes shopping decisions and outfit selection process. Under the sort of harsh changing room lights that make you feel particularly shiny and toad-like anyway, or in my own bedroom, I have looked in the mirror at my prospective outfit… Continue reading I finally took ‘looking slimmer’ off my dressing agenda
