The month has certainly flown by and I still haven’t finished the navy trousers that is supposed to be showcased with this top!

Back to work Monday and it was a real struggle today, not 100% and did end up coming home after lunch and getting comfy on the lounge 🙂

This is what I wore for the first part of the day.

I foolishly thought it was going to get warmer today so the cardigan you can see draped over my shoulder was worn for most of the day and I would have preferred the merino wool version as well, but you do live and learn.

It is getting more difficult to get a different look, as today’s is all but the same as yesterday, different colour but very similar.

It is getting warm quite fast, unfortunately my office is still cool, so I need a cardigan or jacket for an easy layer.

Well I’m home from spending some lovely time with my DM and DS checking out the sites of Canberra.

So I thought I would be brave and do away with the tights today (not completely they are in my bag just in case I get cold in the office) as it was 15c (59F) when I got dressed this morning and they are predicting a top of 24c (75F) during the day.

I’m off to Canberra tomorrow for the weekend to see Floriade with my DM and DS so it will be a bit cooler, so the tights have been packed and I will see you in a couple of days.
