I had half planned some real topics for a post today, but I've woken up with one of the worst colds I've had in ages - I'm aching and tired and currently nesting in bed, so all I can really talk about is how much I hate winter weather, and how innappropriately I dress for it. I'm sure a while back I wrote about how to stay warm in winter, but apparently I'd forgotten that January-February is the worst time for it! So these photos actually come from when I was last back home in Somerset facing much friendlier climates.. I'm wearing my current favourite piece - this tapestry skirt, which I have worn at least five times in the two weeks I've owned it! I love the structure and the mix of textures with thick lace edging, and how it seems to fit with the transition of seasons. This first outing saw it paired with stripes for a subtle clash, and plenty of luxe black. For a girl who, in summer, wears exclusively colour and loves to stand out, I'm going to find it hard to leave my comfortable cocoon of black when spring finally comes calling..
