Why strivefor5?

One of my best friends works for a high street retailer big on accessories, in fact she manages one of their flagship stores. Over the years I've been lucky enough to be bestowed with many gifts from her place of work. Years ago she let me into a little shop secret, she always asks her employees to "strive for five". I instantly loved that mantra and have tried to live by it's aspirational message. It isn't always possible to achieve, not without looking like a dog's dinner, but it is worth keeping in mind. And certainly if we allow shoes, scarves and dare I say, bags to the definition of 'accessory' we can all achieve 5 a day with ease.
