The weather keeps the conversation going, as temperatures refuse to rise and most people are still wearing warm clothes. When a sudden summery day happens, it surprises everybody wearing tights and jackets. Anyway, I've been wearing my lightweight coats (almost summer coats) and keeping on layering, which I consider the most sensible option these days.
El clima sigue siendo el tema de conversación, ya que las temperaturas son tan poco primaverales y mucha gente aún lleva ropa abrigada. Cada vez que sale un día de buen tiempo, te pilla por sorpresa llevando medias y chaquetas gordas. De todos modos, yo sigo poniéndome mis abrigos ligeros (casi de verano) y superponiendo prendas distintas, que me parece lo más sensato en estos días.
This is one of my favourite spring/autumn uniforms, I've worn it many times (Oct2019, May2019, Oct2018, Jun2018, Nov2015, Feb2014, Oct2013) and hope to wear it many more. Still going strong!.

Por favor, seguid cuidando la salud y pasándolo todo lo estupendamente que podáis.
Mixed May is exactly right - the weather has been doing the same here.
ResponderEliminarYou are wearing two of my most favourite items of yours; that fabulous striped coat and the jungle trousers. All three outfits were lovely; so beautifully layered with interesting patterns and textures and wonderful accessories.
Are your second hand street markets setting up again? We can't wait to get a car boot sale but the weather seems to have prevented a lot of them returning...

Thanks, Veronica, these are some of my favourite items too!, and you know I love accessorizing!.
EliminarWe have had our Sunday street market since March (after months of lockdown) but it doesn't look as it used to be, as many stalls are not open anymore.
besos
you´r doing the layering like a pro!!
ResponderEliminarand you have the perfect pieces for it in your wardrobe - the grande scale paisleys and flowers, the graphic stripes and bright colours. all together make for chic looks - and a happy mood.
which we really need in this spring that thinks its an autumn......
xxxxx
Glad you like it, Beate!, so lovely that these pieces could bring some joy and a happy mood!. It's good to dress up and cheer up my day and other's day too!
Eliminarbesos
Layering is indeed the most sensible option, and I have to agree wholeheartedly with Beate that you're doing it like a pro. I'm loving your first outfit in particular, no matter how many times you've worn it. Surely, that's what clothes are made for, and why would you fix something that isn't broken anyway?
ResponderEliminarYour maxi skirt is delightful and I love the juxtaposition of its pastels with the fiery red of the graphic t-shirt. The final outfit is a triumph too. Besos xxx
Mwhaha, so glad that you agree with Beate!, Great Minds!
EliminarAlso glad that you like this 'unexpected' colour combo, red and mauve and turquoise, I was not sure about it!
besos
You do have the best layers though!
ResponderEliminarHope you get some better weather soon.
Thanks, Goody!
EliminarSpring is coming!
besos
Nobody does layering like you, so much clebver use of pattern and colour and proportions. I bet your outfits really are conversation starters as I bet nobody could walk past you without mantioning how good you look.
ResponderEliminarWe have sunshine this morning, I'm so excited! xxx
Glad you like the colours!, I'd like to think that people enjoy them too!.
EliminarI've met some fellow second hand lovers who have approached to talk to me, which always makes me happy!
besos
The striped coat is one of my favourite pieces in your wardrobe. May has been a strange mix of weather here in Ontario, Canada too. The beginning of last week it was 30 degrees (Celsius) and this morning it was only 4 degrees!
ResponderEliminarThanks, Shelley, it's one of my favourite ones too!
EliminarAnd you're having a really mix of weather, so shocking!
besos
I feel like we all have this discussion every spring - lol, that's what spring is! Changeable weather! :)
ResponderEliminarI love all your colourful outfits, Monica! That stripey coat is dear to my heart - so fabulous. Why wouldn't you rewear an awesome outfit?
You're right, dear Sheila, every spring we have this discussion on unpredictable weather!
EliminarGlad that you like my outfits, it makes me feel so happy. And I'm a huge fan of rewear my fav clothes, totally a repeat offender!
