I was recently contacted to see if I would like to stye some pieces by One Boutique. Their clothes are ethically made in the UK using the opposite of a mass production model with each piece being overseen by one person ensuring a high quality piece of clothing. The pieces are made to last for years with creative cutting and a clean aesthetic.

I can’t help loving the style of this brand so couldn’t wait to pick out some pieces to style. I chose this black crop top to layer with the black mesh top. It is definitely much more edgy than the clothes I usually wear and at very nearly forty, I was a little doubtful that I could pull off a crop top but the mesh layer makes it feel slightly less daring so I am going to give it a try (midlife crisis here I come!). It’s also a great incentive to keep up the effort in my gym classes. I decided to wear it with some printed trousers by Nancy Dee but would just as happily wear them with a pair of skinny jeans or black trousers. The mesh top could also be layered over a simple little black dress giving it a new look, so definitely gets top marks for versatility.  I resisted the urge to add jewellery to keep the look quite simple, I will have to admit this was quite difficult as I am something of an accessories addict.

In other news, I haven’t been blogging much so far in 2016, mainly because I am in the final stages of exam for a CIM Diploma in digital marketing. We have also been having building work on our house so things have been a bit disorganised. Thankfully with both nearly complete, I will be able to get back to it soon.

I hope that you are having a fab February, What have you been up to?

With warmest wishes
