Green with denim is a great combination because there are so many shades of green and blue to choose from.

This time of year, as it starts to get warmer, and we start think about holidays and warmer times. I start to thinking about spring cleaning, and part of that process is also some decluttering. As you move the furniture around you find things lurking, magazines to re-cycle, papers to file and general tiding up. Looking out at the garden you can see all the shrubs that need cutting back, roses to prune and the lawn to cut. For me this is a great time of year as I know I have the whole of Spring and Summer to look forward too. It could be time to start thinking about de-cluttering your wardrobe. I am a great hoarder and find it difficult to let go of things, and yet I also love to buy new things. The aim for me is to work on a one in, one out policy, but I still have…

However, if you are wearing something that you know that you look good in that will give you confidence and we all want to feel confident at a business event.
