Charity and Chanel

I'm doing some work with a charity and we had our first meeting a few days ago.
I had to make the right impression but wanted to look like I meant business (not just to make the best of the champagne and nibbles).
The outfit below is, as usual, wrong on so many levels. Boots (Jimmy Choo) look woefully stunted, trousers (Asprey) fit in all the wrong places and top (Coast) shows too much flesh.
 Added my pilates top, still total fail (does sportswear never really translate into normal clothes?)
 So changed into an ancient, but classic Chanel shirt, I bought it for my mother about 20 years ago, and she has passed it back to me as I am now the demographic for silk Chanel shirts (just look at my roots!)

 Added a Chanel (err Monsoon jacket) and the effect is pure school teacher c.1982.
Changed into a super fitted Coast Duchess satin skirt (I swear by these, they go with everything and the fabric is better than most designer numbers) And a slim fit Top Shop cardi with Hermes boots. It's still a little school teacher-y but better that than aging socialite.
Much more on what we are up to with the charity later.

    I think out of all the options, you went in the right direction with the last outfit. My roots are awful, my hair is growing quicker than ever, it's only 5 weeks!

    At this time it seems like Movable Type is the preferred
    blogging platform available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a
    blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% sure.
    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate
    it

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
    topic to be actually something which I think I
    would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the
    hang of it!

    Superb blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?

    I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid
    option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Kudos!

    I'm amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both educative
    and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit
    the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.

    Now i'm very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something concerning this.

    I think that what you published was very reasonable.
    However, what about this? what if you added a little information?

    I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a post title that grabbed people's attention?
    I mean "Charity and Chanel" is a little vanilla. You could
    glance at Yahoo's home page and see how they create news headlines to grab people interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab readers interested about everything've written.
    Just my opinion, it would bring your website a little bit more interesting.
