(I've pledged to wear only clothes handmade by me this year and to sketch my daily outfits in my Fashionary. I'm calling this the paper doll project)

Soooo, the last week or so has seen the most delightfully sunny spring-y weather; lifting the spirits and catalysing intense wardrobe scrutiny and assessment. Exciting stuff. I've bravely gone bare-legged a couple of days! I've restrained myself from wildly chucking out winter-y stuff willy nilly and am instead sensibly washing and storing winter-y things.
And spring-cleaning. I've washed curtains! And quilts! But apparently temperatures are cooling off again next week. Rats. I'm over winter. Summer, bring it. Please. But I'm going to try not to mope ... much! and instead make the most of wearing my army jacket while I still can ... because I cannot believe how much I am loving wearing that thing. I think it is my favourite thing in the wardrobe right now. I'm almost sad summer is coming up when I won't be able to wear it any more.... almost. Not really, but.
