It’s the first day of spring. I am meeting a friend for an afternoon movie treat, and all the sunshine pouring through my windows has deceived me into under-dressing: I forego stockings, and regret it later commuting home in the evening.

I don’t often wear prints, but in honour of the day I wear a cherry blossom patterned blouse, bought in Sydney in a pop-up sale a few years ago by a now-defunct Australian designer label. I team it with a golden velvet dot skirt, and a vintage tam in a matching hue – pink for spring blossoms, and gold for the glorious sunshine.

The icing on the cake is a fun collection of sugar-sweet Betty Jackson jewellery: a carousel pendant; a Cupid-style diamanté-studded heart shot through with an arrow that has matching earrings; and a twinkling skull and crossbones ring.
