First Day of Spring, or Summer?
I know that the first day of Spring has now moved to the 20th, for reasons I still don't understand, but in my mind, the season changes will remain firmly rooted as occurring the 21st, so for me, today was the first day of Spring. Except that with the 26 degree temperatures (that's Celsius by the way) we had made it feel more like the first day of summer. Anyway, this sudden heat wave has made dressing for work a bit of a challenge--it's too early for the university to crank on the A/C, so it's been warm inside and outside. I got this dress last year at From Mars, and the fabric and shape make it comfortable to wear when the mercury soars and I was attracted to the unusual shape of the hem. I paired it with a scarf I found recently at Winners, and my green El Naturalista shoes. I think the colours set off the ghost white of my legs quite nicely, don't you?

ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! The wonky dress hem is perfect and the scarf is so flowy. Add to that the green shoes, and, wow, that is one fabulous ode to spring. Twenty-six there? Only six here....

Hi Shelley, I found you via Ariane's post on you and I'm entranced by your beautiful blog!! It's 27 deg C today in Brisbane, Australia, except it's getting cooler here - can't wait to crack out my winter gear, just as you're packing yours up! I love the hemline of this dress too and the scarf is perfection with it. xo
