7 Stylish ways to incorporate stationery into your outfits

Want to be the pioneer of a new style?  Why not try to incorporate stationery into your outfits.  From putting pencils into your bun at the back of your hair (in different colours for interest) to glueing a brooch back to a pencil sharpener or rubber or wearing a pencil behind your ear, look no further than this post for THE way to shine in the pencil case crew.

 Ok, so I am jesting with you somewhat!
 When I saw my Dad recently, we exchanged Christmas presents (I know, it's terrible!!) My little sister bought me the most perfect presents!!This scarf is so much fun.
 It seemed maybe a bit too much with the stripy Bunny jumper and the patterned skirt, but hey-ho, a bit of OTT clashing is always good fun!
 I've had a really beautiful day today. Last night, I went to CBC's school to watch a production of Hairspray which was amazing.  WKWTTG came to watch and came to stay at ours afterwards.
We had a lazy start today and then went out for breakfast at a really nice cafe in a little village near by. I had the full English breakfast which was 2 tasty sausages, scrambled egg, 2 rashers of bacon, beans and I substituted the mushrooms (urgh) for avocado! After that, we drove to a garden centre to look at some rattan furniture for WKWTTG and then after going back home for tea, cream cakes and some reading, we headed off on a 6 mile walk from Great Waltham to Felstead on the Saffron trail which was idyllic. I have some beautiful photos to share soon so stay tuned for that!!
 What do you think about this outfit?  Too much?? It was what I wore for a casual day of flute quartets, charity-shopping and lunch with my flute pals!!

Hope all is well with you!!

  3. I love the outfit - the bunnies are cute and the skirt has a great pattern. What a brilliant scarf too! I think you should definitely make some of those stationary ideas. Thanks for the comment - sorry but the lentil bake recipe isn't online yet, probably as the book only came out recently - wouldn't be surprised if it gets published eventually though. X

    Thanks for all the comments you've left me this week. Sorry I've been rubbish at commenting lately... I've been reading but I've been a bit brain dead it seems and just not had anything to say!
