Well it’s officially Spring now and this week we can actually wear some spring/summer clothes for a few days at least. I can’t wait to wear a dress at last and occasionally have something to dress up for again. A friend commented that she wouldn’t know what to do when she couldn’t just resort to jeans and jumpers, but I can’t wait.

I have tried to keep up appearances during lockdown and wear a variety of things. But like all, lockdown has ground down my motivation in all ways. I’ve hardly touched my winter wardrobe and through practicality have ended up in trousers and jumpers two thirds of the time. Though I have managed to wear my demin dresses and skirts instead of trousers for daily walks sometimes.

But tomorrow we open up, so time to motivate and look forward optimistically rather than continue the dreariness that’s been around post Christmas. I’ve slowed down purchasing and not bought this month after my slight frenzy in February. But I’ve bought one item a pair of trousers ( whilst they had twenty percent off )so that I could bring out the old me again!

Just finished!!!

Number 2 dress for Emma and Jack’s wedding!!

Well today I began the transformation from Winter to Spring clothing returning my sparkly Christmas jumpers to the drawers under the bed and getting some Spring tops out ready! Probably ensuring that it will snow again!

February was so dismal that I did go a little mad and bought some bits and pieces from H and M , mom jeans with an elasticated waist and a green fluffy spring cardy. I’d also bought a Joe Brown top for spring along with the red dress in my previous photo.

Then just when I thought that was it, I spied a dress which is perfect for Jack and Emma’s wedding (more elegant than the one I bought at Christmas). And reduced from £109 to £32! I ordered it with a view to returning if necessary but no I’m really pleased with it.

Anyway that’s it now, I’ve vowed not to look at clothes again for awhile! Otherwise I’m going to end up with at least six bargain dresses for Jack and Emma’s wedding and also break all my vows about being less profligate with clothing as well as caring for the environment!
