an english summer ...

Summer, in my wardrobe, is unfortunately less easy, breezy, languid days and more a tornado of destructive events. Each year i despair that the bringing of scorching days and warmer, fuzzy nights (ok maybe only some of the time, but still getting the mind set here) seems to bring a total lack of style for me. Don't get me wrong, my winter wardrobe is distinctly lacking in the comprehensive style front, but it does not create a total melt-down of the style spirit, as summer does. For this reason i declare each year that this summer will be different, that i will attempt to construct attractive and stylish outfits - even if this does mean buying a whole new wardrobe of clothes. Yet each year i open the wardrobe and, faced with the same problems, dissolve into a fit of tears, try on and throw around each item of clothing and despair that my only gorgeous outfit (a vintage Laura Ashley summer dress) makes me look like a shot-putter due to the 1 stone weight gain i seem unable to prevent over winter!

This year, then, will be different. Well, only to a certain extent seeing as i have already gone through the first stages of anguish - clothes throwing, tears, fear of weight gain - so the difference is confined to affirmative action. Plans to; lose a stone, effectively wear the clothes i already have by careful accessorising and the purchase of three, sure fire summer looks are now underway.
