What’s the last piece of clothing you bought?

A woollen tunic from M&S. In fact I bought three in different colours because they’re cosy and warm, but stylish.

What are you addicted to buying?

Interestin­g handbags and shoes (preferably handmade, with contrastin­g colours).

Best ever bargain?

A pair of striped rainbowcol­oured leggings that I got for £1 in a market, as well as a striped top in fuchsia, purple and black bought for £1.50 in a thrift shop over 30 years ago.

Who has great style?

Zandra Rhodes. I have been a great admirer of her imaginativ­e designs ever since she caught my eye years ago.

Name your favourite high street shop.

Marks & Spencer, with additional accessorie­s from shops aimed at the younger shopper. Children’s clothes are especially appealing. I only wish they made them in my size.

Any fashion disasters

you’d care to tell us about?

Buying off the internet can create problems as actual sizes vary, and when I put them on I look like a stuffed sausage. That’s why I invariably go for looser styles which I can layer.

What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?

One is a purple loose-fitting top which I bought from Ragamuffin on Skye. I wear this over a turquoise dress that I got in a sale in a Portree gallery. I team these with any one of my many pairs of colourful leggings which I have acquired over the years. n
