What I wore to an October wedding
I have literally had four weddings and a funeral this year so I had to really test the boundaries of my wardrobe. Out of these events I bought one new dress and re-wore others that I already I know I love - one from when I was 17! The only new one was my bridesmaidβs dress for obvious reasons. I really believe in buying beautiful formal dresses when you come across them - not loads, just 2 or 3 - that really fit you and your style so that when an event comes around you donβt panic buy, and its a dress you know and love.
Should you dress like your celebrity look-a-like?
I have been obsessed with videos on my feed encouraging you to dress like your celebrity look-a-like. It's an intriguing premise, but does it actually work?

Itβs true that itβs this kind of thinking that I am on a mission to contradict; itβs this mindset which leads to simply copying an outfit and feeling awful when you see it on yourself, because your features are completely different from the original wearer of the outfit.
