a blue, bright blue saturday.

yesterday was such a lovely warm day (is it really already march?) & it got me thinking about my annual spring shopping list & what items i must have this season. every year i get so used to my millions of pairs of black tights, my coats, my jackets & all my scarfs & boots that i tend to forget how to dress once the weather starts warming up.

i finally decided on a gorgeous white high necked sleeveless chloe-like bibbed blouse tucked into my black AA bandage mini skirt, black tights & heeled oxfords.

so how perfect it was to find this spread in UK ELLE's highstreet supplement whilst browsing through the bookshop's international magazine section.

that should help narrow it down some.
happy spring shopping everyone!
