March is a brisk month. It's often a month of rainy days and muddy fields, this I know and yet--and yet, some part of me always hopes in vain that when March rolls around I can shed my layers like a snake and spend my days in ballet flats with basket bags. Heck, I hope almost any month in Ireland was suited for that weather, but it so rarely is! Over the weekend I decided to shoot two outfits based on my (unrealistic) expectations and reality. One look is what I wish I was wearing now on a carefree sunny day and the other is what I can comfortably stroll around in on our grey days (and even then I'm often told I should be in trousers instead of tights). Truthfully, neither look is better or worse--some people prefer colder weather--but in my heart I will be the girl in the flats soaking up every bit of sunshine I can. At least if the weather is brisk, the houses are warm. This is one of my favorite thatches with its decorative windows and yellow-washed walls. There are daffodil stems growing in the yard here and what a sight that will be when they finally unfurl; a sea of yellow flowers against the yellow walls! We might need to make another trip out here in a week or two to see that or maybe I should book a trip to warmer climes so I can live out my fantasy of a summer wardrobe in March...

Speaking of expectations, I'd love to see some before and after shots of your photos. I really like the way you edit them - it would be so nice to see exactly how! ❤️

I totally know what you mean! I'm in Chicago, and when I want the weather to be warm and beautiful it's always chilly, and when I want to bundle up in plaid and wool in the fall it always decides to stay warm. Oh, weather - the nemesis of fashion bloggers everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI do love both of your looks, though! The yellow dress is beautiful with those yellow walls, but also adorable with the little jacket and boots. And I must echo Charmaine's sentiments - I would love if you could do a photography tutorial, because your photos are always stunning!
Winter almost always gets me like that. Wearing what I wish I could wear for a post, but then layering up because I have to for real life. These are both cute outfits! And I have to say, that house location is GORGEOUS.
