I’m about to turn 40 and I’ve decided that I need to invest more in quality items of clothing that I can wear for years as opposed to ‘fast fashion’. As a birthday gift, my husband has offered to treat me to a couple of items of clothing. I’ve always fancied a Barbour quilted jacket and some green Hunter wellies (I am frequently out walking the dog) but are these too chavvy? (Please excuse the expression, I’m using it as shorthand so as not to write a long post!) Essentially, I want to buy quality items but am loathed to spend money if I’m going to look ‘cheap’ (again, I’m using this expression as shorthand) Please help me decide which items to treat myself to! I’m not naturally stylish so am hoping a couple of well chosen items will help me look a bit more put together.
