Fashion on a budget – 20 party pieces under £20
I read an interesting article this Summer about a woman who had been invited to a great deal of weddings. She had spent a fortune on different outfits, so much in fact that the total bill had run into thousands. The reason for this was the need to look brilliant, but also different at every wedding, especially as some of the same people would be attending each ceremony.

Whatever it is, my thoughts and shopping lists just seem to be full of jumpers. Thick ones, fluffy ones, oversized ones, pretty ones that look like you could add a string of pearls to them, jumpers are most definitely having a moment. Dorothy Perkins currently have some really amazing jumpers that transcend the idea that a sweater is just something you throw on at the weekend with jeans.
