The Penguin Returns: March in Review

 #WBOYC

Dear friends. March saw me going to two art exhibitions, one in Plymouth;  the start of our big garden renovation, numerous walks and bike rides and a Good Housekeeping hairdressing event. 

Let's dive in. 

At Last - Purple Trousers I Love

And #TuesdayTwirl

Dear friends. Do you long for a particular garment in a favourite colour, but are always disappointed by what you find?

My bête noires are denim skirts and purple trousers.  Denim skirts we will save for another day. 

Review: The Waterlands by Stephen Rutt

Any place where water and land join together is where an alchemical sort of magic occurs. So says Stephen Rutt, author of The Waterlands.

It's a lyrical, poetic work of non-fiction that gives us a grateful pause from everyday life.

Barrel Jeans and Woven Mary Janes

 And #TuesdayTwirl

Dear friends. As our "faux Spring" draws to an end for the time being, I was thrilled to get away with just a short jacket over jeans and a shirt for a visit to the Turner & Constable art exhibition.

Barrel jeans are still everywhere and I liked the mocha colour of these, from Reiss. One of the big trends for Spring Summer is woven Mary Jane shoes. I wear mostly flat shoes and it's great to see this style in vogue. Mine are current, from John Lewis. They were comfortable from the get-go.
