Keeping things simple...


With all the glitz and glam of the festive season it's easy to get carried away with all the shimmer and sequins but chalk and cheese are suckers for a super basic top and jeans! Do not fear though...a super festive glittery wishlist will follow!

Rockin' Red

Red is always great for adding a bit of punch to an outfit and chalk and cheese show you how to brighten up when either dressing up...or dressing down!

I love the simplicity of this outfit and the diversity of the items of which any of them could be worn with pretty much anything! You could definitely get your money's worth out of each item...simplicity shopping at its best!

Denim, Tee and Me.

I must admit jeans and tee is my default outfit so this post is my fave yet. I can't help but reach for jeans every morning and the high-waisted salute to our mom's is right up my retro street. And even though my better blogger half is less inclined to rely on her denim friends for comfort she, like me, loves this duo. Then when you feel like I often do, that you've got no excuse to wear the same jeans again, a pair of dungaree's will satisfy your 'cool and casual' criteria without compromising comfort.

This Old Snazzy Vintage Thing!!!

Vintage clothing has our full attention and our wonderfully inspiring local vintage store in Stourbridge Town; Mesh & Lace has our full support. We each came by these jazzy oversized shirts and found they have a million and one purposes; tucked into high-waisted stuff, as a reeeeeeeally short dress, draped over any outfit instead of a jacket, as a bikini cover up paired with your fave sunglasses.....I could go on!

Back to Black

Black still has it's just place in our wardrobes (regardless of the season) and continues to be the age old 'life saver' on those not so body confident days! Avoid feeling like your pal's shadow by adding a dramatic lippy, right on trend.

Check this Floral!

Chalk and cheese style task: 
Choose a print to liven up a basic outfit

Results: 
Casual check shirt versus pretty floral tee.

Conclusion: 
Borrowing her stuff offers a cheap wardrobe alternative when stuck for outfit options.

Warning: 
It feels slightly hypocritical ;-p
