I missed the sun..

I still can't believe it's March. It's crazy how the year has flown by so fast. I was devastated this morning about being stuck at the hospital when it's so lovely and sunny outside. It's officially spring. And it's a sunny dry day in Cork, and I was indoors all day. All I can say to that is ........ Humph.

I've done lots of vintage shopping in London the past 2 weekends. My favorite shops were Rokit and Beyond Retro. But other shops in Bricklane and Camden were pretty amazing too. I was never a big fan of rummaging, but I find searching through vintage unique pieces very exciting. I've purchased many vintage items including dresses, knitwear, headpieces, bow ties, a jumpsuit, and a petticoat skirt (I've always wanted one..). I won't share everything with you right this moment, but I'm certain that you'll be seeing them floating around SOS! at some point.

I left the apartment today hidden under a massive knitted Zara wrap cardi and a woolly scarf, not realising how beautiful it was outside. I never have my sunglasses with me, but they would have been very handy today. Underneath the polar bear covering, I was wearing my new vintage grey knitted dress from Beyond Retro. It's so '80s. It's mid calf length, with subtle shoulder pads and a straight neckline. I love the braided knit detail along the shoulders and neckline, and it's cinching skinny belt. I paired the dress with Topshop indigo blue tights, and my new comfy transparent yellow Melissa shoes.

I hope tomorrow will be another lovely spring day. I'd love to leave the house without a gazillion layers for once this year. I'd also love to go get some icecream, and sit outside in the sun.

Nom nom nom.
