Sailing Into Spring

Today marks the first day
of Spring in my part of the world,
and of course it rained .

Later in the day, between
showers my photographer,
(kind husband ), and I
went to an area by
the river for todays
shots..

Turning my back on Winter.

Though

Not quite ready to part
with the leopard print
just yet.
This trench  worn over
black layers was just perfect
for todays inclement weather.

Also

I am not ready to put
my winter hats away just yet,
this taupe hat with its feather
and black beads was a new
purchase this year and
has become a favourite.

Taking maybe the last
winter hat over to join
Style Crone for Hat Attack.
and

Sacramento for Share-in- Style.

    Happy Spring!! It's the end of Summer over here – also a big change. 🙂 I am in love with your trench, no wonder you can't put it away – you look fabulous in it!

      Thank you, Natalia, a change of season wherever we are is always a time for reflection and moving forward.A trench is always perfect for this time of year.

    Your red hair works so well with the leopard print trench. A little bit of a wild side?

      I hadnt thought of my love of animal print that way, maybe I am searching for my wild side.

    It is, rather uncharacteristically for this neck of the woods, also raining here this week as September kicks off. I have many memories from my childhood of still swimming in the local lakes well into mid-September, but this year is cooler and I sense that summer is making a hasty retreat for whatever reason. Fall, and likely winter, are poised to arrive early and stay late this year. Love your fabulous leopard print coat and that chic, timelessly pretty hat. Sand/taupe and leopard look amazing together!♥ Jessica
