Style is such a personal thing and everyone expresses their style in totally different ways, which I absolutely love! Since falling in love with Instagram and seeing how people dress the same item in a handful of different ways is just amazing, how certain clothing can just boost your confidence no matter what budget you may have.
Not everyone follows the rules or even whats in or out of fashion but here are my three key fashion rules ( to my self) or who else wants to take them on board.
I never really was a primark fan and by no means am I bashing you lovely girls that are big fans, I rarely find anything in there, the fit just isn't great or on par with other high street shops, I do see so many lovely items on social media from primark but how well do these items last or stand the test of time? I was chatting to my lovely friend and she agreed too that she would prefer to buy one or two decent quality items over 10 other things.
This Saturday I'm going up to my dressing room and I'm being ruthless with everything I just feel meh about. This year I'd love to invest in a good pair of boots, coat and a few lovely knitwear pieces, really the sale should of been the time to buy all these things but you know me, not the most organised.

Quality over quantity

Accessories
Accessories are my thing, I spend the most of my time saving for a new handbag or the next designer scarf that catches my eye, you dont always have to spend the earth on clothing but if you have the odd designer piece, it can really make your outfit, barring in mind I love zara bags, I think every season they come out with some real beauties and to be honest I never thought I'd buy a high street bag again.
I wouldn't be the biggest fan of loads of jewellery on my self but seeing it on others I do? maybe a confidence thing, I did fall in love with the Zara Simon collaboration with accessorize though, and may have to get a few pieces.
Comfort
You see those shoes you just bought and you still cant wear after a month because they cut the feet off you? either give them to a loved one or charity, note to self..I need to take this advice! life is far to short to be walking around in absolute agony, been there far too many times and it just isn't worth it any more. If you have wide feet like me Clarks do the best footwear ever!
When you were younger and your Mum used to say don't go out with out your coat you'll be freezing? who actually ever listened? not me thats who! now I'm happed up to the max with a million layers on thats what you call comfort.
Feeling comfortable in your own skin is the most important, if you feel that maybe you aren't as confident in the latest trend..you don't have to wear it/buy it just be your self and shine the way you are.
What are your key rules for 2017?
