Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Meh, February… what a dull sort of month you are.
Yep, it's that miserable, indeterminate time of year again, when you're ready to inject some springtime novelty into your wardrobe but the weather isn't playing ball. Praise be, then, for the revivifying accessory.
Ah yes, the mythical teeny tweak that transforms an outfit. Does that exist?
Sure. Take a pair of jeans and a plain black sweater. So far, so vanilla. Add this floral necklace from Tory Burch and suddenly you have understated but unmistakable contemporary chic (£427, farfetch.com, pictured above). Personally, I think the zingy coral shade would perk up a bit of grey jersey a treat.
Wow. I agree but, er, it would actually be cheaper to buy a whole new outfit.
Fair point. I'd avoid most statement jewellery if you haven't much cash, unless the statement you want to make is "I'm on a budget" – hardware such as jewellery tends to wear its cheap origins on its (tarnished metal) sleeve. Instead, go for a scarf that's light enough to keep on indoors, so you get maximum wearing opportunity – & Other Stories has a great knitted-cotton leopard-print one with a striped border that mixes playful and preppy (£29, stories.com).
