Day 4 Capsule Wardrobe

A day of sunshine lured us all into thinking Spring was in the air - it is, but Winter is having a power struggle and attempting to assert its frosty fiendish-ness. Poor Spring is temporarily floundering but I'm determined to give her a boost with my almost Summer vintage maxi dress.

This 70s heirloom from my mother is my look for day 4 of the capsule wardrobe challenge. I've put on the cowboy boots and will be swapping my gold coat for a warm winter item (its allowed in the rules this time) plus scarf and hat. I did well yesterday evening in my gold coat with belt and scarf but I don't fancy being caught by the biting wind again. Today the lipstick gets a rest and smoky eyes will be applied.
