I'll raise my hand and admit that usually I'm uncomfortable with asymmetry. There's something creepy about an absence of balance which normally makes me shy away. However, this retro top is one of the very few exceptions to the rule. there is something about it which fills me with excitement but why? Maybe it's the colour - a couple of bold reds, or the cute little sleeves which are a length I don't often wear. Maybe it's the snug turtle neck fit or the large pattern. I don't know for sure but most likely a mix of everything.

My mane is looking really long and wavy in these shots which makes me happy! I toyed with popping a flower in it but decided against it, but soon I will be unable to resist!
The landscape is looking so empty in these shots and it's fascinating how it suddenly springs into life to the extent that in a mere 4 or 5 months the growth will prevent me from standing here unless I battle my way through with a machete. In keeping with an appreciative state of mind, I'm feeling rather fond of the last fading grasses and hollow hemlock stems.
Let's roam wild in the meadow, rustling through the dry grasses and whispering plans for days to come.

Let's roam.

 I'm so thankful to Alice for sending me this amazing tank top, what a beauty. I am so fond of knitted tanks, they're an essential over winter.

Big bootcut jeans. Uh-huh.

The temperatures really plummeted this weekend, didn't they?! With arctic gales gusting strong it was distinctly chilly outside on Saturday. I reached for my thermal tights without question (always Primark) and chose this monochrome checked skirt which is not my usual style in terms of shape but equally fits in with much of my wardrobe. I wore it once before with a cropped jumper but forgot to take any pictures. This time I opted for this super soft turtle neck fine knit jumper. Not only is the wonderfully retro cut a staple to suit many other outfits but also the colour is most unusual, such a curious shade of blue... almost greying.

You have no idea how cold it was standing there for those three minutes! Bracing is not the word. Brrrr! Worry not though, I was wearing a thermal vest too and a cami as well. You have to layer up in these kind of conditions. I was toasty in a thick coat.

Smile. Always smile in crazy weather. It confuses people.
