So close I can smeeeeeell it!! (Spring that is). Clocks go forward apparently in a few days – about time. For now though you still need a jacket and at LEAST a good warm scarf.

I think the shirt is now one of my favourites. It’s loose, sheer, strategically ventilated and cut lower at the back. Reminds me of a poet shirt. The leggings you know from this post.

You lot know I love my clutches (still love this blue vintage one), so I caved on a sleeker version by Zara. I’m thinking the optional strap makes it a bit more functional if you MUST be hands free. Would LOVE to find a large clutch in a bright colour though. Like a kelly green or cobalt blue. Anyone seen good ones? send me links please!
