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
Well, THIS has come around a little sooner than I anticipated. One moment I was eating sausage rolls for breakfast, downing quince gin liquer (found myself with three bottles of the stuff, don’t ask) and indiscriminately scoffing chocolates at any time of day or night, and the next I was awoken at 6am by a cuckoo (that’s… Continue reading Twenty Twenty: a look ahead
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
August started with a hair cut; not an overly dramatic hair cut, but one that feels like it has some significance all the same. It was quite an impromptu decision, made on the way to the salon, but sometimes I find that just an act of change is enough for a much-needed boost – a… Continue reading A mid month catch up: August
Why hello there pals, and how wonderful of you to be here. How are we all? I’m currently in bed, two crumpets with marmite down and hoping that the spider I can see in the corner doesn’t scuttle into my mouth while I’m asleep later. It’s a nice position to be in for tapping out… Continue reading A mid month catch up: July
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 appear to have missed the middle of the month again, but if we say that the days between 5th and 25th are the middle of the month in that they’re not strictly the start or end, then this is is fair game and I’m not late, right? June for me so far has been… Continue reading A mid month catch up: June
