16yr old GCSE student Jemima Homer, has a style that makes an empty room look like an Hawaiian paradise. Her adamant attitude to your regular LBD is inspiring, when I asked her what encouraged her to dress in such a way - she replied - "Definitely art, certain shops, fashion and generally people in the street, if I ever see anyone wearing something I like, I'll always tell them". It seems to me this outlook on life - always searching for colours and patterns - insures constant happiness. Proven by psychologists colour can effect the mood and I suppose staying away from dull shades such as grey and black  enlightens the world around you.
Whilst discussing her outfit she explained to me that she felt compelled to wear her pink shirt as it was new and then thought it was plain so she added the rest. I guess this style of dressing is a sign of confidence and not caring about what other people have to say, giving her the ability to clash of colours and patterns with elegance and poise. When I'm with Jemima - I feel like having fun. Like a lemon pencil skirt does to a white shirt Jemima adds a burst of colour to our mundane world. Absolutely exquisite!
