My eldest daughter is a Girl Guide and they marched in the parade, too, with their
neckerchiefs tied and their sashes filled with merit badges for
things like «Camping» and «Photography.»
For me these alternatives are
things like switching jeans for cigarette trousers, swapping my standard knitted jumper for a silk blouse and sophisticated
neckerchief (which also doubles up as a super cosy scarf too), mixing a chic skirt and thick tights into the mix every now and then (I love this one), throwing in a jumper dress for good measure (almost as good as PJ's I assure you) and finally, mixing and matching my outerwear to keep it fresh.
