Having chosen my 10 pieces now it's time to style them into outfits.
Accessories work overtime in this challenge.

What to wear with

Magic Roundabout in Plum by Helen Ruth

Excitement Plus!

The marvellously clever Janice over at the Vivienne Files has

styled a scarf that I saw on the internet. I just loved the colours not to mention the pattern.

I asked nicely of course and she has styled some fabulous outfits.

See them here. Thank you ever so much Janice.

The Queen's Baubles

I have spent the weekend sitting up until the wee small hours watching the various broadcasts of HM's jubilee events. A most remarkable lady indeed.

Must admit that I didn't really like this mint green number but how many gals can pin on a couple of baubles that size?

Nothing says Diamond Jubilee quite like Cullinan III and IV.

Tote Bag Inspiration

The Vivienne Files has done it again.

See her post about styling a patterned tote here.

This is my version. The bag is a Longchamp Le Pliage
designed by Mary Katrantzou

Working with a Neutral Scarf

Working with Vests

After reading the Vivienne Files post about

Visualising French Chic: 7 in Black  I got to thinking

about the vest option. When I searched

the wardrobe I realised that I had

three similar to those above and they are worn often.

They are terrific trans-seasonal pieces.

Not quite French Chic but it works for me

Working with Colour

Ideas for Autumn/Winter Neutrals

Given that a Sydney autumn can punch out the odd

a neutral scarf I just have to find one

School Uniform Revamp

In response to Bourbon & Pearls comment on my post

the other day and my reply, I thought about what I would

have liked my school uniform to be.

Perhaps an Emilio Pucci scarf would have been OTT but then again...

Does anyone really need to own three pairs of red shoes?
