PRINTS CHARMING

Despite Doris' best efforts to halt our run into spring, a new, warmer era is well and truly on the way. It's March tomorrow which is a whole new ball game in terms of mentally moving forwards (and today is Pancake Day which isn't such a bad way to see out February).

Peeling away those extra insulating layers and relegating duvet-like parkas to the back of the wardrobe is a pivotal moment and, while this look may be no more than the dipping of a tentative toe (note still no more skin on display than face and fingers) a perky print surely serves as a nod to the new season? Again trying to amp up the substandard trouser game. Next stop backless loafers and a slither of wrist...

Shout out to Alexandra de Curtis and her beautiful bags – in particular this one and it's pretty pink lining which matches so well to my trousers...
