What we wear on Mondays

It’s a dress day for Cyndy and I this Monday. However much fashion designers and pundits are trying to wean us off dresses and back to separates, a dress is just so EASY. If it works, it works; there’s no wondering about proportion or matching top half to bottom half.

I am wearing a Jaeger dress in black and blue silk. I bought it last season, but it has proved the most useful dress ever and has come out for boardroom lunches, my QVC audition, our Dragon’s Den appearance and – literally – dozens of other events. It works alone, under a jacket or under a Chanel-style cardi. The black suede shoe-boots are from Office, the black bangle is from the Victoria & Albert Museum gift shop, and the necklace is from H&M.

Cyndy is rocking a fabulous dress in gold slub linen with cross-over bodice, by Apanage. Those stunning platform sandals are from Zara and the statement glass beads are by Antica Murrina of Venice, but bought in Melbourne by her lovely husband as a gift.

With the weather having gone in one week from winter to summer barely stopping for spring (though I suspect we can expect some mixed spring weather later this week – and probably for the rest of April), I am rocking a full-on summery dress on this (still very warm) Monday.

It is a cream and brown tunic by Mimosa with – what I now see in the photograph, which I didn’t see with a naked eye – is a kind of skull print.

I am wearing skinny black jeans with little zips at the ankle to keep them sleek, they were bought at Zara only a few weeks ago. With them, I have a long, slightly 50s sloppy joe-type black sweater with a little V back and short sleeves, by Paul & Joe, cage shoes in mushroom suede from Kurt Geiger, a vintage bangle from Freedom at Topshop and a green/yellow oversized scarf from, ahem, Primark.

Cyndy is wearing dark navy jeggings from Uniqlo.

Having said that, I find it nearly impossible to wean myself off wintry neutral shades like navy, black, brown and grey, which is why you see me in spring pieces which are, yes, mostly grey.

I am wearing a skinny blazer by Theory, over a nude-pink vest top by Zara and silky, carrot-top trousers by Banana Republic.

[gallery]Don’t you just love the British climate. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and from the window it looks gorgeously spring-like, but it’s absolutely freezing cold.

For this March Monday, I am wearing a wool and cashmere coat in a ginger colour by Ann Louise Roswald, with black opaques by Falke, vintage black petit stilettos and a black bag by LK Bennett.

We have meetings today, so we are in “smart” Monday mode.

It’s WWOM time again, and today Cyndy and I are in deeply casual mode. We have a lot of work to do this morning on the final preparations for our presentation this evening at a #Dragons Den event in #Worthing, #Sussex, arranged by #Jack Symons’ #Ground Floor Ventures.

And when we have finished our preparations, we have to drive from North London to Worthing, a trip of around two hours, assuming there are no problems on the route and we don’t get lost.

It's that time of week again: Monday, and we reveal what we are wearing today - or WWOM as
