I bought too many pairs of argyle socks thinking they were going to be my next signature “thing” for winter, and I’ve had more trouble styling them than I anticipated. I need to correct that.

Review | Danse Lente Mini Johnny Bucket Bag in Peach and Lemon
I’ve referenced in the past that one day, a Danse Lente bag would be mine. After a nearly year-long courtship and a lot of intense sale scouting, a mini Johnny bucket bag was mine. Danse Lente decided to launch the Johnny bucket bags in this pastel yellow/subdued coral colour combination for Spring/Summer 2020, and it was a great choice for warmer weather – it’s feminine, it’s classic, it reminds me of sorbet.

We had no summer this year. Climate change is here to stay. There was sun, sometimes, but there was no heat. I’m used to 28ยบ Celsius and up during Summer’s 3 months, and we had about two weeks of that.

Let’s polka again!
Come on lets twist polka again, like you did last summer, bop bop.
It’s been so long since I’ve published that summer came and went and the clothes that I’ve worn past April are weather appropriate again. So this post is still totally relevant.
Leather, Flare and Flower Power
It’s finally getting warmer and one is ready to ditch the turtlenecks. Although this might be the calm before the storm – literally, April is usually the rainiest month – I’m going to enjoy it while I can.
The look for the day ended up being very 70’s style. I wore a leather jacket with a flowery print button up shirt, my leather bucket bag, black flared trousers, and my new pointy pumps.
