April is such a weird transitional month, it seems. So warm one day that the delivery drivers and kids turn up in shorts, then a temperature dip and you wake up to snow! The winter tires get changed out for summer ones, Christmas lights come down and get packed away, the cushions for the patio furniture come out. It’s still too early to mess around with yard chores - the ground below the top 4 inches is still frozen. Another 3-4 weeks


So, I’m sorting through my S/S stuff and reassessing how individual items look - and making a list for new items. So far: sandals - and hats! I haven’t got a fix on the rest yet, but have been mulling over the addition of a bright or two to my otherwise neutral heavy wardrobe. Tempted by greens, in the same colour as a well loved cotton sweater (see Finds below) - but who knows what retail will have on offer?!

Have you got your S/S wardrobe sorted, or at least a vision of how you want to look for the new season (F/W for some YLF’ers).
