It's my birthday! It's not a big one, although personally I think every birthday is colossal and should be treated like King Kong scaling The Empire State Building. In other words carefully and respectfully, but with the full acceptance that disaster could occur at any moment. I'm trying to dress more grown up because I am a grown up now, or at least I think other people would consider me a grown up. In my head I'm still 17. This outfit is all from Next, I'm so into their clothes at the moment, these
loafers go with everything, even pajamas. And the skirt and
blouse make me feel like Margaret Thatcher at Studio 54. Actually they make me feel nothing like that, but it's my birthday so back off! I've been looking for a
peacoat for ages, trying to do that '60s thing (pretend you know what I mean, nod along), and I love any
bag that's big enough to fit in a book and a bar of chocolate. Or an entire chocolate cake - let's be honest.
