It’s been a long dark winter and I keep getting excited about the first glimpses of spring. The snowdrops have been out for a couple of weeks, the sky is still light-ish at 6pm and the sun keeps making a valiant attempt to put in an appearance – so much so yesterday that my heavy winter coat was far too heavy. And yet it wasn’t warm enough to be out and about without something to snuggle my chin down into.
Back at work this morning I have found several perfect solutions to this between-weathers conundrum, but I have two favorites. The first is European Culture’s black washed cotton summer coat, price £159. The soft light cotton is just enough to give you that extra layer, and it is so beautifully cut that is looks fantastic over anything, from jeans to an evening dress. Another bonus is the fact that it is machine washable. My second choice is takes a slightly different route in that it is a piece of knitwear. Odd Molly’s tenfold knit jacket, price £128. This is available in rose or chalk, which are both perfect for lightning up any outfit with the pure cotton knit giving you that much needed warmth. See – perfect, warm and ready for spring!
See you soon
