Tarnish-proof?

I want to make my jewellery tarnish-proof.

My friend told me that if you coat your jewellery in transparent nail varnish it won't loose it's colour. I couldn't believe. My (fake) gold would stay gold? My rose gold would no longer turn into a weird bronzey green? I was sold. My friend hadn't even tried it yet - she got the tip for another friend. But I did it. And so far, no regrets.

For those of you who aren't fans of spending hundreds on a piece of jewellery for work, this is for you and I. Accessories are subtle ways of making a work outfit feel more 'you'. So you need to protect to make sure they last as long as possible. The bracelet I'm using here has already suffered a bit so I want to keep it from getting worse. Like anti-wrinkle cream for jewellery.

What Dora did:

I got my favourite piece of fake gold and my Chanel top coat. I said a little prayer and went crazy with the nail varnish! I tried to put thin layers on each side of the bracelet. Them I let it dry. Honestly, the bracelet looked shinier but you can't tell that I put my top coat on it. I'm happy with the results.

HAPPY TUESDAY!

Winter Midi Skirt

 Jumper - United Colors of Bennetton // Skirt - Karen Millen

It's time for jumpers but I still want to go bare legged and wear my summer midi! Instead of tucking my jumper into my skirt for a highwaisted look,  I threw it ontop. Et voilà.  Smart casual.  And you get to stay warm, on top anyway.

I have had my wool jumper for about 5 years and it still look brand new.  United Colors of Benetton just know how to make a great durable knit. 

I got my job back so they'll be more smart casual clothing to come! 

Happy Thursday!

I wore the skirt in a different way here

Wanted This November

 

 

It's time to accept winter and all the wonderful things it brings to your office wardrobe: an excuse for a new coat. Like each year, I have fallen in love with a coat from Sandro. They keep you so warm, you wouldn't need to wear a blazer underneath during your commute. How do I know? Do I own one? Of course not. Not yet! (I'm saving up). But I've tried on enough Sandro coats to give you advice! 

I also want a new bag. Orange now has a special place in my heart, and all over my accessories. I just can't get enough of it! It brightens up any outfit while the sun is away.
