Day One - The Five Day Accessory Challenge
So it was the first day of our working week challenge,but before I report on our challenge attempts I thought I should provide a brief description of the participants:
Chrissie, my work colleague - glamorous mum of two, does not look her age, can authentically 'rock' the biker chick style (motorbike included), shoes and bags are the top of her shopping lists every time.
Clare, me, - married, no children just two Jack Russells, heading for forty and frantically reviewing my skin care regime, just found my first grey hair, desperately aiming for a classic, timeless capsule wardrobe, shoes everytime is at the top of my shopping list even if I'm shopping for groceries!
Chrissie - something old/something new collection
Now Chrissie accessorized in a mixture of recent sales purchases and items she's owned for a few years now. Showing its never to late to re-vitalise that forgotten accessory you've had for years.
Bag - present for Xmas 2010, Star by Julian MacDonald at Debenhams.
Watch - Freebie from Avon a few years ago.
Necklace - had for a while, sales purchase from Dorothy Perkins
Scarf - 2010 sales purchase £2.50 Matalan.
Shoes - from Matalan, had for a while
Clare - You can never be too blue collection
My handbag was the key point of my accessory challenge bid due to its size really!
Although it was my first challenge attempt to accessorize more, I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't do more or be a bit braver. I have a gold belt that I was half-tempted to wear but bottled out of using it. I also have lots of costume jewellery that could do with a bit of an airing so will try harder in my next attempts. I definitely have got myself into a style rut, must do better!
