Shed that Winter Coat!

Hey, hey, it’s the second day of spring! (This was supposed to publish yesterday but had an auto-queue fail.) Spring into action and shed that winter coat, why don’t you? Actually, I won’t be doing that because the weather is rubbish today, but it’s the thought that counts, right? I am pretty excited however, as you can see – this balmy time of year positively makes me want to kick my heels and skip all the way home under the mock-orange trees. (I’m not waxing lyrical – there actually are mock-orange trees lining my route home.)

Under my lovely camel coat I’m casting off, I am wearing a vintage 1970s polka-dot dress I bought recently at a vintage warehouse sale. The clothes at the sale all came from America, and this dress arrived without a belt, but luckily I have a black leather belt already that does the trick. I love the dress though, and I’m looking forward to wearing it when the weather actually warms up. Happy days ahead!
