My 7 favourite Spring outfits
The weather in Scotland is never clean cut or nicely divided into seasons.Even in the height of summer in can be cold and wet.
{I never move my winter jumpers too far out of reach, even in summer. They get as far as the top of the wardrobe, never the loft. That would be asking for trouble.}
However, even with the uncertainty of the weather, the beginning of June is (in my opinion) the beginning of summer.
So, summer officially starts tomorrow.
{I hope the weather is listening!}
I am delighted to tell you that today, I am sitting outside typing this, with a big mug of tea and a pile of digestives.
Happy days.
I am wearing my denim cut-offs, birkenstocks and a big floppy hat.
It is actually warm, in fact... almost hot!
The warmth, sun, and lack of rain, is definitely something to celebrate.
{Also, the fact that the Wifi signal has reached the garden}
Today is the perfect time to look forward, with the hope of a warm summer, and look back on some of my favourite Spring outfits.
My Favourite Spring looks
1. Double stripes, do they have the power to change how you look?
This stripey outfit was inspired by the striped looks that are in just about every magazine I look at, just now.
Mixing different sized stripes, and different colours, really captured my imagination and I wanted to translate it into real life.However, this post did spark lots of thought on the subject of stripes and how they can sometimes get a bad press.
Do stripes really have the power to make us look slimmer?
Can wearing the 'wrong' stripes make you look bigger? Fat, even?

2. Denim Dress, and rescuing your shopping mistakes.
This Denim dress was actually a shopping mistake that I could not bear to part with.

3. Dungarees and Chanel-style.

4. Sports Luxe, bold colour and fun shoes!
This look started with an amazing (and totally impractical) pair of shoes.
I love them to bits but, they have divided opinion.Love them or hate them, you can't deny they are colourful and eye-catching.

5. Green (faux) leather dress.
Are we ever too old for certain clothes?Surely there comes a time when things like leather dresses (real or faux) just look a bit sad and desperate?
Hmmmm...

6. Wearing a Cliché and loving it.
This post started off talking about wearing a clichéd outfit, and how boring it can be...until I realised I actually liked it!

7. Gold dress and old legs.
This post started with me wanting to get my legs out, and catch some rays.
{Even though I never tan, I still like a little sun on my skin. And, some vitamin D is always a bonus!}
I started thinking about how I spent most of my life hating my legs, instead of enjoying them.
They used to look a lot better than they do now but I did not appreciate them.
Now that they are older (and past their prime) I wondered what we can do to improve the look of our legs without going crazy at the gym.
