    It’s Spring!

    OK, it’s not really. If I’m completely honest, it was just a little too cold for this outfit today (luckily I did have a trench coat with me for when the wind got too much), but you know what?

    Next up: Shoeperwoman’s Spotty Dress Challenge. In which I wear spotty dresses every day for the next three years…
