I tried to make this outfit spring-like with the light colours, but it was dull and rainy and so tights were still a necessity. It’s progress that they were regular tights though, not the fleece-lined variety. Baby steps. And the cosy cardi allowed me to wear my trench coat rather than a proper coat so that’s spring too.

I knew my office might be warm enough to shed the cardi so it was important that the outfit work without it too, which it does.

I could have easily added a blazer over the stripe top and jeans, but as there was still snow on the ground I went with the cosy knit instead. And ideally I would have worn ballet flats, but see above: snow. Hence the boots.

My hair is up because it is still in the wild curls from Saturday night. It took me so long to do them that I was loathe just to wash them out, so they stayed. They definitely need restraining in a ponytail though.

Waking up to yet another wet and miserable day I finally conceded defeat that it was still winter outside and put on boots. And then the weather warning for the snow at the weekend got upgraded to amber and it was definitely still winter outside.

The lovely Audrey of Putting Me Together (www.puttingmetogether.com) sent out a PDF of spring transition outfits to everyone on her blog mailing list the other week. Since the snow had finally receded I took a look at it and the first outfit on the list was a striped dress similar to this one, a green utility jacket and taupe booties or red rain boots, depending on your weather situation. I don’t have utility jacket (and I don’t feel like I want or need one) so I paired my dress with this cardigan instead. I feel like the colour combination was the more important thing here anyway. Obviously I still needed thick tights (especially with such a short dress) but in the sunshine there were moments when it actually felt like spring could be just around the corner.

Outfit - February 28th - The Same, But Different

On Wednesday morning there was a little more snow than the previous day, but not a lot more, so I put on a very similar outfit to the day before's: the same sweater but in cream, fleece-lined leggings, a different skirt, the same boots. By 7.45am though we had a blizzard. By the time there were people at my office (yes I can walk in but I don't have a key so it's no use if there's no one else there!) we had several inches more snow on the ground so I abandoned my EMU boots and put on my wellies.

Well, the snow came. Not in anything like the amounts we were led to believe we might get, but there was a covering. So it was on with the fleece-lined leggings, on with the EMU boots and on with the big coat to trudge up the hill to work.

I almost put on trainers with this outfit. I tried them on with these pants and LOVED the look, but went with the boots as they are 1. warmer and 2. smarter for work. But I will definitely be putting trainers with these trousers very soon. Perhaps later this week. Although, at the time of writing, Snowmageddon is allegedly on its way so there might not be much of anything but fleece legging and wellies in the very near future. We’ll see.

This my look like an ordinary white shirt but it’s actually made of jersey, which, OMG, genius! There’s no gaping at the buttons because it stretches, there’s no restrictive feeling on your arms because it stretches, and it’s super comfy. Because (did you guess?): it stretches! (It also wrinkles pretty badly on the sleeves but I am prepared to forgive that.)

The trousers are super old – I wore them on the first day of my previous job which was October 2005, so yeah, old. But I keep them as they are a wool mix and where can you get wool mix trousers in tall these days? And I’m kind of feeling a wide leg style again this spring. Especially with trainers.

I am loving wearing my biker jackets instead of blazers right now, since it’s not yet warm enough to wear them outdoors as coats. So I’m wearing them indoors instead. We have discussed at length here how tan goes with everything so it was a no-brainer to throw on this jacket with a jeans and stripe top combo. I could have gone for my tan ankle boots as well, but decided to change things up a little and picked out my leopard print boots instead.

Oh and if any tall ladies are looking for jeans – these are Primark skinnies in a 34” leg and look how they are bunching up around my ankles! They are waaay longer than 34”! I’ve had this pair almost three years but they still do this style so they’re worth checking out.

It was still cold out (and getting colder as we headed towards the weekend) so layers were necessary, but those layers can be in a lighter, spring hue. Ankle boots in a light colour feel more spring-like whilst still keeping your feet warm, and a cosy sweater is still cosy even when it’s in a paler colour.
