I had my first taste of Spring yesterday.
My car is in the garage and I had to walk a lot.
For the first time since September I was able to walk for more than 30 minutes OUTSIDE without a great big coat.
I just had a denim jacket.
As I walked I could see the buds on the trees.
I could hear the children playing outside in the school yards.
And best of all I could smell Spring.
You know - that gentle green warming of the earth.
It didn't last long.
Today it is raining.
It is cold.
The walk to school this morning was nowhere near as enjoyable but I know Spring is out there.
So close I can almost touch it.
And while I think of Spring I can't help plan ahead to summer.
I have been dreaming about floaty day dresses in vibrant colours.
I can't decide between these two from Boden.
What do you think?
Today I wore:
Boots - Tesco
Skirt - Principles
Vest - Zara
Cardigan - Dorothy Perkins
Scarf - East
I'd opt for the Must Have Shift (on the left) - it's got the most gorgeous neckline! I love the print on the Amalfi, though, I'm thinking about purchasing the skirt with this pattern. I'm sure you'll pick what best suits you!
ReplyDeleteBoo - it seems so far from spring here! But, I admit, that on my run on Wed, I DID see snowdrops blooming and daffodil leaves emerging. It's still so so cold in Cincinnati, though. :(
ReplyDeleteOh, why can't we have spring here in the Tropics. We are experiencing summer already this early.
ReplyDeleteI love both dresses and I know they will both look good on you as red is your color. xoxo
Since I live in TX we are getting a taste of spring too, so I am trying to take advantage of the coldish weather by wearing my boots as much as possible!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit today! And both those dresses are gorgeous but I think I am partial to the shift style with the larger polka dots (I just bought a very similar one in blue from Ann Taylor Loft!).
Lucky you!I always find those first signs of spring so uplifting.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that more people are on the side of the shift dress but I like the other one better.But that's maybe because it would be the better one for me.
If I were you I would go for the dress that has a diferent cut from the ones that I already have.
It is good to share views. The problem is I love the pattern of the polka dots and the shape of the other dress.
ReplyDeleteI love the polka dots- but the a-line of the other is more flattering on (MY) figure... they should combine the two.
ReplyDeleteLol I just read your comment... two minds that think alike ;)
Very pretty outfit! I wish we had decent weather- we got 2'+ of snow last night :(
Out there, where? Not here surely! It's snowing like mad and it's no more than 0 degrees. I'm so fed up with it! I've never seen so much snow in England before. Love your skirt. Cannot think of skirts and light clothes at the moment!!! Have a nice weekend. Ciao. A.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the polka dot fabric in the other style. But - if I had to choose just one I think it would be the polka dot dress. It just looks like fun.

I love the play of patterns with your scarf and the striped skirt. It's been hinting at spring here, too, and I can't wait.

I feel the same way about spring... so close but yet it was snowing today. Soon!!
ReplyDeleteI love both of those dresses, especially the one with the big polka dots!
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty today. Sending you scents of pink cherry blossoms!
I think the polka dot pattern seems more "you" - just my impression. Both dresses are pretty, though.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your spring weather comes back soon. We've really had a few lovely days this week. Usually we have gray, overcast weather through May or June, so I'll take whatever I can get.
