Denim: let’s go to workwear #4
I thought I was going to fail at today’s outfit but actually I feel like I did OK. I couldn’t work out which combination of jackets and coats to go for so I’ve plumped for the ubiquitous boxy Gap blazer with a gingham shirt underneath.
It’s becoming clear that I could do with a new pair of blue jeans (that knee tear is less rip, more ravine) but regular readers will know my problems with jeans shopping. Shuddery shuddery shudder.
Trusty
Crusty
Conclusions:
- A good pair of jeans will find me soon, I’m sure of it.
- The outfit would be better balanced with a baggy hat like the one the model’s wearing, but I don’t have one, so there we go.
I've always found it funny when people write letters to the Guardian's Weekend magazine complaining that the recipe ingredients are too middle class and the fashion only looks good on thin people. After all, it's just a magazine. Or is it? I decided to follow its recipes, fashion and lifestyle advice as closely as possible, to see if the aspirations promoted therein can really be achieved by the average reader who is not especially wealthy, not necessarily model thin and is obliged to work regular office hours. This blog has no affiliation whatsoever with the Guardian but I link to the Weekend magazine website for the purposes of illustration.
