Day 11 fashion forward choices on a budget

I found my self strangely drawn to the dungarees in the High Street pages of the Weekend Guardian. Is this a look I can pull off I asked myself? Would my friends snigger behind my back, laugh in my face, wished they could be so brave and fashion forward, or the worst in my book pass no comment - verbal or thought wise.

It might just be me but the thought of someone saying nothing usually gives them the upper hand. I begin to wonder what they are thinking. This only applies to my fellow fashion savvy mates. In all other areas of my life I lack a competitive edge but give me an occasion and I put a general to shame with my tactics and battle planning. I love my friends but I have to be top dog in the fashion stakes. Dreadful but true. I wish I could be at ease and care free. Have you any idea how hard it is to not compare yourself? I know it is a most pointless and useless thing to be hooked into and I need to transfer this ability to bloody spreadsheets or something practical otherwise I'll find myself with a child mainly to dress up and play dolls with.

Back to the dungarees. The best thing about them is they represent great value for money. I could adopt tomboy chic and rework every t-shirt, shirt and top I've got with the dungarees. Or I can just make do with my wide legs jeans by taking 2 inches off the hem and wear as above but inject occasional riviera chic. After two evenings in with Kate Battrick's book, I've got £40 to spend on my spring/summer wardrobe. Yes the budget is done.

Dungarees or altering my wide leg jeans?
