Whilst the mice are away...

...Well not strictly mice but Mr MDS. He's hot footed it off to Wales for the Ryder cup and in honour of his disappearance I'm posting a street style photo I made him do! It is taken by the wonderful Fashionistable - who is currently snapping only the best! Poor Mr MDS he only nipped out of the office at lunchtime to say hello.

It is part of a style project for a forthcoming 'thing' and lets just say instead of the fash pack being snapped the everyday workers are getting a bit of centre stage by adding a little twist to their outfits.

Project Top 50

Inspired by the little project of white shirt and jeans by Square Old Soul, I returned to my favourite pastime the perfect wardrobe.

My pet hate has to be those must have top 10 items -almost impossible. However my favourite event would be to have the courage and fortidude to have a wardrobe of only fifty easy pieces. So my challenge to you, is to give me at least your top 10,(agh!) and examine my list that is currently standing at 38 out of 50.

Tell me what to take out or what to add. All you need to think about is what to wear items for i.e. day, work, evening etc. Give me your views on how to function with just 50 items (doesn't include underwear or gym kit thank goodness). Once compiled it can become the 'blogger's top 50 clothes to own'!

White shirt & jeans project

Square Old Soul has undertaken a white shirt (tee or button) and jeans project. Go and look at the wonderful images she's posted and send you own submission - here's mine!

I'd actually been wearing this all day so the white t is quite grubby. Also my little boy got in the way - wouldn't pose but had to hang around!

White t shirt - Dorothy Perkins (A/W06), Jeans -Uniqlo, Scarf - Toast, Belt- Jigasw, Sunglasses - RayBan aviators (quite a few years old), Moccasins - Kurt Geiger (2 summers ago!)
