Tessa is always a little self-deprecating, unsure if she’s a worthy style subject. She shouldn’t be, but we love her all the more for it…
“I have to admit that I didn’t actually wear these shoes to work today. I just can’t wear heels, as I’m on my feet all day and I walk everywhere. It is a bit of a shame, as I really love them! The under-top I am wearing is because I really feel the cold. It is Paula Ryan, and from the Karen Jordan outlet store. The jumper? Yes, I loved the knit pattern when I saw it in a Christchurch shop, so that’s where that’s from. I do most of my shopping locally though, like these pants that are from Sassy’s, the ring from Shine and glasses from Stacey’s. My necklace is a bit sentimental, I suppose you could say. It is actually a single pendant chain that I have added to with bracelet charms. You probably won’t be able to see it in the photos, but one of the charms is from a bracelet I got for my 50th. It kept getting caught on things so I took it off the bracelet and now wear it on my neck”.
