Very belatedly! I took these photos on Easter Sunday obviously, but then between getting the apartment ready for the cat, getting myself ready for my trip, and developing an evil head cold, I didn't have any time to post.

I knew I wanted to wear the jacket that I knit, because its robin's egg blue colour seems the epitome of spring to me, and I'd worked hard to get it done in time to enjoy it this season! I also suspected that the Easter service at my church would be quite dramatic (I go to an Episcopal church that's progressive in its beliefs but high in its services, which are entirely sung or chanted and involve two organs and an incredible choir), so I donned a silk dress underneath (which I'm afraid to iron in case I scorch it, so I tell myself the wrinkles look intentional...any tips for ironing silk would be appreciated!). I added a slightly heavier necklace to fill in the neckline and my matching gold rings for my fingers. No point in bracelets, since my sweater has full length sleeves, and the church is actually a cathedral, and thus fairly chilly inside. There was a forecast of snow, so I needed warm legs, and I knew that most of my hosiery would be covered up by boots anyway, so I opted for light tights to bring a touch of spring in! And my taupe hand knit socks to bookend.

For outerwear, and of course I kept the boots on in church, I pulled on my dressy knee high grey boots (as dressy as I get anyway) and added this new coat. I actually got it as part of my fall/winter capsule, as I'd wanted to add a tweed coat and came across this one for cheap (I got it for $16 including shipping) on Ebay when choosing my spring/summer additions; I couldn't resist its blue/grey colours or the Peter Pan collar (which I've included a close up of)! But it turns out early spring here in the north definitely still requires lighterweight wool coats, so I've already gotten quite a bit of wear out of it. The light blue accents seemed just right for the Easter holiday. I felt I blended in well to the congegration, which is all over the place when it comes to dressing anyway: not so formal that I stood out but not so casual that the older generation would be horrified. hehe

All feedback welcome as always!
