Vogue’s More Dash Than Cash by Kate Hogg was first published in 1982. Despite a vintage of almost 30 years, it’s an incredibly relevant and straightforward guide to looking good on a budget.
“Making the effort to look striking costs very little – a fresh attitude and energy are more vital than money”.
After a chipper and suitably stirring introduction, the book covers the following areas:
- An Individual Style
- Wardrobe Tactics
- The Classics
- Outside Inspirations
- The Alternatives
- Reading Fashion Pictures
- Inside Style
- Characters In Fashion
Here’s some of my favourite spreads:
Intriguingly, a lot of the looks feel like they could have been shot yesterday – think bloggers in high waisted denim cut offs and Doc Martins; or the latest Stolen Girlfriends-esque Prairie girl look. And oh! Are those some moccasins I spy? (Above in the last shot). New York was going mad for those when I was there last month. Ah, isn’t it funny how the wheels of fashion turn.
