Faux gold, you either love it or you hate it. Until fairly recently
I was a member of the later club and so was of the opinion that unless you could afford
the real thing, you should keep away from the material and the colour gold completely.
Think chavs wearing gold hoop earrings and gold velour tracksuits - so not stylish. For me, that’s how it stayed for years, until I
started to almost embrace the tacky nature of fake gold. It’s got a very 80’s
feel about it and, honestly, I think I like it. So over the past year or so my wardrobe
has gained a fair few gold pieces, from a foil top to a chunky gold chain.
Obviously I style them right so that they don’t leak through the line that separates
oh-so-stylish from oh-so-cheap. My next gold endeavour is this amazing Casio
watch:
Here are a few more gold items that I’m loving at the
moment:
Oriental floral cigarette trousers - Topshop- £45
Nail art pen in fools gold - Topshop - £6.50
Metallic clean leather jacket - Topshop - £160
Rose mix spike bracelet - Dorothy Perkins - £10
Gold look bead tube necklace - Dorothy Perkins - £8.50
Pearl and spike bracelt - Dorothy Perkins- £7.50
Thanks for reading guys,
