Spring

Posted 03/01/2011 by Rachel in Fashion \ 1 comment

Rachel is a newly married twentysomething living with her husband, M, in Somerset, England. Having lived in London for 6 years, they are new to country living but getting used to it. M sells fine wine; Rachel blogs, makes bunting and takes photographs of everything on her phone. Together they are trying to turn their rented cottage into domestic bliss.

Despite the cold weather and almost constant ice cold rain this week, spring is on it’s way. Lambs are in the fields, snow drops popping up in gardens and in verges. It’s getting lighter in the mornings and the evenings here. And now Valentine’s Day has passed, my thoughts turn to lighter clothes. I might still be wearing gloves and a tweed coat when ever I step outside, but inside, I am buying my new spring wardrobe. I don’t want to spend too much money though, I’ll mainly be recycling what I already have in my wardrobe, with one or two new additions.

I can’t wait until it’s warm enough for bare legs and sandals. I will be wearing this skirt and shoes with stripy tops that I already own, perhaps with a blue blazer and a brown double wrapped thin leather waist belt. I already own those too. With my vintage 1950s leather strapped mens watch.

The new additions being the skirt and the shoes. Sadly, I can’t afford the Marc Jacobs bag, yet.

Has anyone else started their spring wardrobe?

we heart your comments!

    Spring? What’s that!? We don’t get that here in Chicago. :)

    I’m a bad recycler and I’m in need of some new clothes. And can I just say I’m now drooooling over that bag?
