Dressing for Wimbledon

Well, Wimbledon has finally come and what a wonderful start it has been with the weather! I think it is officially time to take the skinny jeans off and change into floaty dresses and pretty skirts. Enjoy the summer months ahead and treat yourelf to something colourful this season.
Lots of internet sites including Look, Marie Claire et al all offer great advice on how to dress for occassions. Wimbledon is no exception, ladies! I would suggest wearing something comfortable as you will be sitting enjoying the tennis for a long time. However, Wimbledon is a large venue so there will be a chance to walk around and admire the grounds and outdoor courts. What to wear? Go for cotton as it is breathable, wear wedges as they are comfortable and elongate your legs fabulously! As for accessories? Either wear chunky jewellery with a handbag such as BoBelle's handmade eel skin leather Hemera Handbag, see http://www.bobelle.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=100004 (left)
Or alternatively accessorize with our hand made Theia Clutch Bag http://www.bobelle.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=76&Itemid=100005 - the Theia Clutch is so feminine with the bow, yet has that exceptional 'vintage-feel' as the eel skin leather is so unique. Remember that the leather used is a by-product of the food industry in Korea where eels are extensively farmed for their meat and the skin is discarded. (see Theia Clutch Bag below)



Fortunately, lots of shops are now embracing fair trade and eco-fashion. Why not pop to your local charity shop and see what is on offer? I was in Kensington yesterday and the beauties in the charity shops there were fantastic! At least there is no chance of bumping into someone who is wearing the same outfit as you!

Enjoy the tennis, I certainly will on Monday! Let's just pray for warm weather - though don't forget the sunscreen!
