Predicaments of a Fashion Lover: A BIT IN BETWEEN

Everything in December is a bit in between. My hair is no longer short but it’s not long, it’s getting Christmassy but we’re still two weeks away, life isn’t exactly great but it isn’t terrible either.

Similar to a nicotine puffing friend you have, December gets me filled with a rush, quick bursts of romantic frustration and an itch of something I can’t put my finger on.

Love Actually plays around the world, the tweets for Christmas excitement become more frequent and I flit through the days reading, running and rushing between plans. Easy, soft trousers are the best for this time of year – comfortable, free moving with a winter trend pattern friend we can fall back on to (that’s houndstooth fyi. Works every year). These jogger style trousers are ideal and make crop tops workable without a frozen stomach or undefined abs. We will get there by summer, if we want to.

With work parties, family gatherings and reuniting friends we all like to get a bit more smart and dressy. I’ve not quite got to the stage of everyday glitter, but smart black shoes never go a miss. These dolls came in the Topshop sale at a cool £15 and have lasted me not only all year, but two trips to London and back. Now that’s a quality shoe.

But dressed up in black and white gets a girl thinking about her life between the lines. What will be my 2016 goals? What have I even achieved in the last year? Will I get the dreaded boyfriend question at the family Christmas dinner? *shudder* The horror of it all.

I guess I’ll just have to slip on some joggers-disguised-as-smart-trousers and pretend I have my life together in between glasses of wine. Fake it ‘til you make it right?

Oh and remember reader, smoking doesn’t make you cool. Even if all the cool kids are doing it. We started this year with quinoa and green juice and by God, we’re finishing it that way.
