I started this blog as a way of keeping a hold of a self prior to having a baby, hence the name Cocktails in Teacups, cocktails and partying were my old life, tea drinking and evenings in is my new. I blog almost daily about an eclectic mixture of things including recipes, fashion, beauty, book reviews and my day to day life.

1. Cocktails in Teacups: #351 Outfit of the Day -
Spring Has NOT Sprung
Although pretty much everywhere else in the country is experience warmer
temperatures and glorious sunshine, up here in the forgotten lands it has been
very cold, very damp and very misty. Tragic. After buying a whole new Spring
wardrobe last month (still no regrets) I'm having to come up with outfits that still
use my beautiful new clothes, but are combined with my old faithfuls I've been
wearing over the winter. Just because it doesn't feel like Spring, doesn't mean I
don't want to look like Spring! I guess the weather reflects the week i'm having.
I've cried more this week than I have over the whole year so far. Not impressed!
Anyway, I thought i'd share today's outfit with you. It's miserable outside but I'm
feeling like a princess, I'm determined not to let the events this week ruin my
good year.

My hair is such a mess today, I had a shower and washed it this morning but
because it's so cold I had to use the hair dryer on it and blast dry it. It's so windy
outside that I see very little point in tackling it with the hair straighteners as I'll
just be sticking it in a hair tie. So yes, I apologise for the mess of it.
When I was offered the chance to review something from Great Plains, I knew
exactly what I was looking for, something that I could wear as a jacket in the
Spring/Summer. I only seem to have big heavy coats which will be no use when
the warmer weather comes. I choose this Breton Stripe Cotton jacket because it
looks really Parisienne, and I'm a sucker for all things Parisienne. It's really good
4. quality and the nicest cotton. The fact that it's cream and black means it will go
with a lot of things. I'm wearing it today with a 3/4 length sleeve top that I always
use for layering and it's already made a debut this year on an outfit post here. I
first fell in love with this skirt after seeing it on The Briar Rose Blog, and I knew I
had to have it for the Spring. When I was offered 20% for my birthday from
Boohoo I jumped at the chance to get it. It's so pretty! I was concerned how it
would look on me since i'm only 5'3 and I usually avoid longer length skirts, but I
actually think it looks really nice on. Although I still think it looks much better
on Megan! Because the weather is so awful I'm wearing it with tights today, but
I'm looking forward to going bare legged wearing some frilly socks with my
brogues.
Accessories wise I'm wearing my favourite necklace of the moment, my beautiful
Tatty Devine name necklace, but this time instead of it saying my name, it has
"Bonjour" on, perfect to wear with a very French looking jacket. It was my
birthday present to me as Tatty Devine had 20% off at the beginning of March.
Because the sleeves are 3/4 length i'm not bothering with bracelets today as I
think it makes my arms look weird, but I am wearing a super cute Ampersand ring
(that there is no close of because my nails and fingers are a state) which I snapped
up in the Ever Ours sale for £1! I love it because I always use & even when I know
I shouldn't! Also you should totally check out Ever Ours' new layout, it's gorgeous!
Finally, I'm taking my new satchel out for a run, I already own the red but I
thought the cream would be a perfect addition for the Spring, and so much more
goes with cream.
I think this is a really nice transitional look, although I do wish I could ditch the
tights for good, I'm getting really bored of them now!
What's the weather like where you are?
