It's Bank Holiday weekend (in Blighty). It's bound to rain. What outfit can possibly beat the elements and look perfectly polished, no matter what?
When in doubt, I always turn to a fail-safe classic combination. Some may say boring, but I say 'pah!' to that. Invest in classic pieces like these and nothing will work harder in your entire clothing collection. Inject a little personality with your own take on an otherwise traditional look: a sequin skirt; colour-popping tights or a huge bow a-top your head.
In my book, these pieces are The Holy Grail of outfit-building - not forgetting the all-important slash of pillar-box red lippy to sex it all up a bit:
Dita bag, £35 Oasis
Aviator Sunglasses, £12 ASOS.com
Breton stripe top, £45 Whistles
Quilted patent pumps, £88 French Sole
Linda Trench, £78 GAP
Ruby-Woo lipstick, £12.50 MAC
French Sole pumps are so good - my mumsy used to work for a designer shoe shop and get me them super cheap. However, they are certainly not built for rain so if it is gonna rain and you choose to wear them, prepare to see £80+ washed down the dirty british drain!!!
