We’d like to introduce a new feature here on PPP, which is all about you. If you’ll allow us to misquote Chicago for a minute – “you’re the meaning in our lives, you’re our inspiration”. So we want to know what you’re wearing. We get blasted by too many pictures of too many models wearing unrealistic clothing every day, so we’d like to keep it real. Who you are, and what you wear is what we care about. Therefore we’d love you to email us – jo@prettyprettypretty.com with a picture or a link to you wearing your favourite outfit, and a bit about what you’re wearing and why you like it. Okay? Awesome. I’ll start.

So in this picture, I am wearing:

• Sequinned shrug from Ezibuy: I like that this makes me into a human discoball – it’s fun riding in a cab in the sunshine in this, but because it’s not lined, it does irritate my arms. If I’m smart I will wear a barrier cream under it, but if I’m not, then I end up with red itchiness. So that’s not ideal.
• The bronze-coloured belt is also from Ezibuy. I like wearing it to bring out my waist – even if I make my waist very high up in it. I also like how thick and chunky it is – to me it’s like strapping on superhero armour. It makes me tough and hot.
• What you think is a dress is actually a dress from Farmers that is a size too small for me and therefore way too short, with a skirt from Farmers that is too big and stupid-mid calf length over the top of it, pulled up to right under the boobs. That way it’s a perfect length!
• My red bra is from Lane Bryant in New York. It’s padded (although I have taken out the airbags), deeply plunged, and very hot. It is my party bra, and I don’t care if it looks tacky that it shows. I’m tacky.
• My necklace is amber beads that I stole from my mother’s jewellary box, which I think she stole from her mother. Sometimes I wear more over-the-top jewellary with this outfit, but apparently that night I was trying to be more subtle.
• My makeup and hair in this photo were done by Amy in a Mad Men inspired style. I’m not normally this glam-looking. And if I look grumpy in the photo, well it was Election Night and we lost to the Dark Side.
