So for the last week the Uk has been basking in some beautiful spring weather. Blue skies with the odd cotton wool cloud sure makes for some happy Brits. These photos were actually taken last Sunday and the warmth was *almost* there enough to go bare legged. I braved it for the photos but then nipped home and put the pasty white legs bag into hibernation under a pair of tights, heehee! I have to say feeling a breeze on the old legs sure felt exhilarating, a wee taste of things to come, sunshiny warm days.
Just lovely!
This dress was my last purchase on the Sunday before the 100 day shopping ban commenced on Monday 6th Jan. It was kind of a rash purchase in a panicked "i'm not going to be shopping for 100 days, gimme all the new stuff i can get my hands on now" frenzy, but thankfully i still love it, admittedly this is the first time i'm actually wearing it, over 2 months on, but i think i was saving it for Spring, i guess it just feels perfect for sunny days. I also managed to squeeze in more wear of the beautiful George biker jacket before sending it on its way for #FrockSwapUK, as much as i will miss it for now, i cant wait to see how the girls will style it!
Dress & Sunglasses : New Look (from January, sadly now sold out)

It's a great look. I hope the UK doesn't do its usual thing and have an amazing April full of sunshine and then start snowing on me when I am walking there in May!! Fingers crossed. Thanks so much for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThat was a good idea to buy some things to save for the shopping freeze! Love the florals with the biker jacket! I often find myself thrifting winter things in the summer that I forget about and then am excited to find deep in my closet :)
ReplyDeleteI love your floral dress paired with the edgy jacket!

ReplyDeletexo. jenn @ hello, rigby!
Ahh, I'm jealous of your sunshine! We had about two days of sunshine up here, both of which I spent in work, nose pressed against the window, hating life. Ha! In other news, you look beaut in that dress. Really suits you! xx
ReplyDeleteMy first time here. So thanks for hosting and excited to be joing the Link up! Totally love your pictures and red is my all time fave. Its been really warm this winter here in Germany and am looking forward to wearing some new pastels. Sabina OceanblueStyle
ReplyDeleteI love you in red! I think red was just made for brunettes. I sported bare (pasty) legs for the first time Friday. And today, we have snow. Sigh. Anyway, you have great legs! Thanks for hosting, looking forward to being on next week.
ReplyDeleteCute look!
