wheat dress, grey coat

Saturday...  We were going out later and I had decided early on to wear this ensemble.  Rather than wear something so-so 'n sloppy for the first part of the day and getting changed into the smart 'n snazzy gear later, I just put on the nice silk dress first thing.  And wore it all day, regardless.  Whoar! so rebellious!  A rebel... without any cause.
I will admit though, that I pretty much wore a (knitted by me) cardigan and uggies for a lot of the day and the tailored coat and glam boots only went on later.
We're heading out for drinkies and a rather nice pre-Mother's Day dinner now.... later dudes  :)

min 16C, max 20C, fine all day

In my family's MMM13 participation, and by the way, I should mention that they are innocent participants, quite unaware that I am keeping track of their daily wardrobes... poor things!  Craig is wearing this shirt, and Tim is wearing this jacket again.
