Tropicana.

Finally, finally, we saw some sunshine today in my corner of the country! And it was beautiful. Even if it made driving a little more difficult due to visual impairment, I loved being able to sit outside at lunch & being able to see a blue sky for once. And just this once, my spring style was matched by the weather - and that made the look even better.

Nobody can ignore the tropical prints that are absolutely everywhere right now, in either sense of the word. Anyone with half a fashionable bone in their body is snapping up tropical-print pieces left right and centre, ready to make a statement this season. I absolutely love playing with print, so naturally I had to get in on the act. This look takes a tropical print and gives it a classic, dressy twist with the pencil skirt shape, sorbet blouse and chic blazer, along with the necessary high heels. I love the bright print because it is really bold and fun, and I am so glad that the universe conspired so that the sun shone down to emphasise the tropical feel.

Love and kisses, Tara xox
