so close now

FINALLY, we’ve had a couple of decently sunny-ish days and it feels like the end of Winter could be approaching,
don’t you just love those first signs of Spring? They fill me with hope!

Got some colour going on for Yesterday’s outfit in honour of the burning yellow ball in the sky.

Do I look tired and haggard?

Necklace says yes!

Fairly chilled out day, amongst the invasions of four 20 something males taking over the house. They are a nice, if somewhat…quirky bunch of guys and super talented.

Today is going to be all about chilling out, I think. I’ve a fairly busy week ahead, so I shall just potter about and go and see my Grandparents.

((the money spending continues..I bought *gasp* trousers!))

(((this is the best stuff EVER)))

    I love your outfit šŸ™‚ I can’t wait for Spring either – I’m fed up of the cold!

  27. Love your skirt, you always look so lovely with bright prints! I’m looking super pale at the mo as well, bring back the sunshine I say! We had some here this morning then it rained :'( Thanks for your tips by the way, I actually had some petit filou in the fridge which I should’ve tried, as I’m worried that not having every antibiotic pill might mean he can’t shake whatever he has! xx

  28. Your outfit is gorgeous! I really love that blouse, the colour of the tights, and the pretty spring skirt. Great matching of colour. Spring is my absolute favourite season of the year. I’m very much looking forward to it and wish spring could last forever. So sorry to hear you’re feeling haggard (cute yes | no pendent). I hope you get some sleep and take care. It’s hard to imagine what it must be like with 20 quirky males in the house.

  29. Your necklace is so good! and I love your skirt it is amazingly fantastically colorful.

  30. I know! It was so lovely waking up this morning hearing birds singing and a lush blue sky. Let’s hope it lasts!
