Pre sun wear-March 2012

The sun is here and I have taken it as an opportunity to start wearing much less wool, and tights. One can only hope. But I can still not go past a lovely jumper for when the cold is back or for those chilly nights ahead. The jacket, this slightly deranged print trench coat is light for the sun days and for going into the early dewy evening. Oxfam, Kingsland Road, E8, £5. The shoes are a tribute to holidays and the glittery markets afar, with slight of heart patterns and gold, one can not go wrong. Slip these on and sip. Gift. The jumper, with its fluffiness and triangular prints will take me nicely into next season. Salvation Army, $10.

Spring styles

I have just got back from the other side of the world and have been trying to keep away from the second hand shops, due to a want of not having to carry anymore stuff. I need to slim down the wardrobe. But on a sunny day with some old friends I found a couple of friends to help me through the Spring days that are to come. Salvation Army, Ghuznee Street, Wellington, New Zealand. Skirt, $6 Shoes $6
