Ashamedly, I didn’t know about the blog I’m about to write about until I found it shouting “how did you miss me?” from the pages of Grazia magazine a couple of months back, and even worse, it’s taken me this long to sit down and write about it. I do want to do it justice though, as it’s one of the best individual style blogs I’ve ever laid eyes on, so I decided to take my time choosing my favourite images.

What Katie Wore is a year long record of one woman’s outfits, written and photographed by her boyfriend, Joe. Every day, Katie adorns some of the most amazing sartorial combinations I’ve ever seen, and is then captured on camera by Joe, who adds witty and informative little snippets and posts the whole visual treat up on the blog.

I can honestly say, this is the only blog I ever visit daily, without fail, come hell or high water. If there was a comet plummeting towards the earth, I think I’d probably stop and log on to check out what Katie was wearing before heading for cover. She has the most individual style and extensive wardrobe that I’ve ever seen - and what’s even better is that she doesn’t seem to follow the fash-pack religiously. Her outfits are colourful, clashing and completely unique, and would probably make most of us look like a total tit - but she pulls off every single one without a glitch. Katie has the sort of look that I (and most people, I would imagine) would love to imitate if we were a shade braver - in my defence, I live in Portsmouth, aka The Land that Fashion Forgot, and so highly outrageous outfits just aren’t possible. But thanks to this wonderful blog, I’ve certainly been inspired to inject a little colour and print into my wardrobe. I just hope I can carry it off as well as Katie…
