When it comes to new items of clothing, I have about as much confidence as I do before I speak publicly in front of a big crowd (i.e none). Most of the time (in the wonderful words of a certain Gok), it’s ‘all about the confidence’- but when it comes to braving trends I’ve seen others sail through and look cool as f doing, it’s a little intimidating, isn’t it? Especially when you walk around like an anxious extra Oliver Twist cast member too…

But hey ho! I feel like with this look I’ve definitely aired on the side of Birds Eye opposed to Birkin or Dylan-esque cool, but there’s nothing wrong with that, right, RIGHT? Although braving the baker boy seemed a little bit Kiera Knightly circa Love Actually for me (or even, as I mentioned on Twitter, Anastasia), sometimes it’s fun to step out of your comfort zone a little, and if I managed to do it during the ‘beehive’ phase of last year, a little hat won’t hurt will it…
