It's the season... for popping out to parties. Going for totally different looks, whether it's a tie-dye loose silk top, from Paraphernalia, and a pair of vintage Jaeger pants, partied up by vintage yellow earrings, silver jewellery and my only sporran! Or enjoying a few shades of grey in a silk Stills top and chiffon floor-length skirt by Lynn Lugo, and my daughter's flirty waistcoast by River Island. Jewellery is piled on for drama: chain necklace, pearl ring, silver bangles, studded leather bracelet and trusty Angel Jackson bag. The latter is starting to look magnificently wasted... but not this party animal!
I am always comfortable in grey... does being British help? Here against marble and brick, I am wearing a MaxMara pinstripe jacket (seen previously as part of a trouser suit in 'Suited... for a Hampshire wedding'), a silk/organza floor-length skirt by Lynn Lugo, and a diaphanous Ted Baker top, with pleating which has medieval echoes. Chocolate-brown complements the greys, in the drawstring suede and fur bag, and the Ash tooled-leather boots. Even my jewellery is grey-hued,
although the quartz earrings, from Istanbul, have a flush of pink about them.
