Have you heard of "top dressing?" This is the new name for the lock down solution to Zoom meetings - wearing a nice top for video calls with leggings, jeans or PJs on the bottom.
One of the summer 2020 trends is for fancy collars - and boy, do I love a fancy collar. I used to adore Peter Pan collars and had many tops and dresses with those. I loved the look of this top by Monki (just £18) when I saw it because not only does it have an impressive collar, but it's one of my favourite colors, pink.
Pink is a great color for most of us to wear - it comes in many hues, some with a blue undertone, some with a more golden tone (such as peach). When you find the right pink, it casts a flattering light on your face.
This top is made of organic cotton - which is a must these days, as cotton and denim are both very bad for the environment.
I'm wearing it with a pair of new off-white jeans by Whistles at John Lewis and my silver backless loafers from Vionic (gifted 2018).
Hair Raising
On another note, I should have had my hair done on Saturday so it will start looking tatty very soon. I gave myself a trim (!), namely the fringe and side bits, which are longer than the back and get on my nerves when they get too wispy. I'll be interested to see what the roots look like in a few weeks time! There's no point attempting any DIY because if I used a box product to dye the roots they would be a browny colour and still look very visible! But I refuse to get stressed about it. I find that if I wash it every day (which is a bit of a pain) it has a bit of lift which hides the roots. Making the parting a bit zig-zaggy also works and is supposed to be quite trendy.

Last week's most popular (highest clicks) post was a celebration of National Tea Day where Michelle from Fifty & Fab reminisced about her visit to a tea plantation while on holiday in Sri Lanka in 2018. Read the post here. I also had an unforgettable holiday in Sri Lanka back in 2004, and still have a wooden canister of tea from visiting one of the plantations. I wonder if it improves with age, like wine?
I also have trimmed my hair at the front. We must have had the same style. We probably have again now weve trimmed them. Yes i am top dressing
