The fashion industry operates on an outdated manufacturing system that is ripe for disruption. With many practices remaining unchanged for more than 50 years, fashion’s supply chains are neither responsive nor sustainable enough. With brands hunting for the lowest prices, manufacturing practices have become fragmented as brands outsource more and more of their production to sprawling networks of suppliers in developing countries. The number of factories has mushroomed, along with unauthorised subcontracting.

At the same time, logistics gridlocks and macroeconomic pressures continue to weigh on global supply. The war in Ukraine forced the re-routing of trade and triggered an energy crisis, while ageing port systems across the globe are creating transport bottlenecks. Global inflation has pushed up input costs — cotton and cashmere prices have increased 45 percent and 30 percent year on year in 2021 respectively — and extreme weather is hitting developing economies like Pakistan where, alongside the

This is likely the most personal thing I’ve shared in all my years talking to you. And maybe I’m nuts, I’m sure I am, but this is on my heart and I think someone might benefit from it. 

My husband jokingly refers to 2022 as “the year Meg burnt it to the ground.”

I like to think of it as the year I let go, but, he’s right. I set things on fire this year to reset and reclaim my life.  

So, as you start to think about the New Year, if you’re feeling a pull to make a radical change, let this note be the thing that moves you forward.

Consider this your sign.

Because this time last year, I was in a spiral, and today I can say with all sincerity that I have never been happier or more at peace.

And, listen, I’m no expert.

I’m just

A new blazer?

Maybe pinstripe, maybe grey, or maybe colour – please, just not black.

What about cream? Or a light shade to work with darker pants? I feel like a classic but not necessarily a full-on tailored twist.

I’m definitely going cream.

Add a pair of black pants and a floaty blouse or a button up and I’m set.

I have a Christening coming up and I think this is where I am headed. I don’t need a brand new head-to-toe outfit, just a touch up. The cream blazer and a pretty blouse should be just about right. Think old school gamour meets feminine plus a little masculine on the side.

Think I’m sorted. xv

I want to thank Talbots for sponsoring this post. 

As you know, we are highly selective with who we partner with, but Talbots is a no-brainer. 

We’ve long recommended the brand in dozens of unsponsored articles, so I was delighted to work with them to share some stand-out pieces from their new arrivals. 

I’ve said it a million times, but it bears repeating, Talbots is an incredible resource.

From their classic style to their size-inclusive selection (which should be an industry standard), it’s no wonder they are a reader-favorite brand.

So let’s make some outfits because they do festive holiday pieces well, and if you’re like me, you might need a couple of new things to get you through the season. 

Some of these pieces were gifted, and some I bought myself. ?

Right now, you can get 50% off markdowns and 40% off full-priced items.

I dare not admit this.

I want some platforms.

It’s not my first rodeo in these ankle breakers and heaven help me trying to navigate them 20 years on. I will though. I need a shake-up – too many sweats and hoodies since lockdown and fashion malaise has set in. It’s time I stood taller and tackled a heel.

Except for one thing.

I need to modify the look slightly or I will end up in A & E. I’ll wear a platform but not the 10-inch designer skyscrapers I’m seeing. While I think they are very “of the moment” and will update the older wardrobe pieces I am not sure they are a large investment essential.

Along with these uplifters, I think we need some bright cashmere – think the pinks, the purples and the citrus.

If you have seen the latest Valentino campaign, you get where my head
