Neon Spring

Hi beautiful readers,

As I’m writing this it is storming, really storming! The wind howling is through the trees and the rain beating against the windows. It’s so far removed from this day of the lookpost, where one could fee Spring in the air, and leafy green trees showing off their new buds.

September is always such a mix of warm and cold weather, at the same time the school year is winding down into test and exam mode. Kids are looking forward to longer days of leisure and less of daily routine, more play and less slog. I am ready for longer days, beaches and picnics with the family, I feel this urgency to do all these things with my kids before the teens realise they have other interests. They have their own plans, and your only part in those plans is playing chauffeur, providing eats or cash.

As I mull over plans and upcoming weekends, I get a little more nostalgic each time, back to days when things were simpler. The kids were automatically included and were ecstatic with whatever was planned. The message to all newbie parents would be to cherish the moments, the park stops, the picnics - they pass you by in the blink of an eye!

Todays lookpost is bright, where I’ve paired a neon shirt with a white jeans and embellished flats for an easy relaxed outfit. All items are from previous seasons, and date amazingly well!

Outfit details:

Shirt and jeans and necklace from Woolworths (all previous seasons)

Wardrobe bag from Asos

ZARA embellised flats

Ackermans scarf

Rings from Asos & Lovisa

Ciao for now,

RuBe xoxo

The versatile shirt dress

Hi Beautiful readers,

This has been the most gorgeous first week of Spring I can ever remember. It’s as if Mother Nature is making amends for the absolutely freezing and wet Winter we have endured this past few months.

Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation, and this is exactly how I feel, having just restarted my exercise programme as well as feeling much better. I feel as if anything can happen, and only good things are in store. Maybe it’s just the sun and the birds chirping, and the flowers blooming - but I find myself in a positive frame of mind. I hope that everyone is feeling the air of new beginnings, it’s time to shed those heavy layers (figuratively and literally) and work towards those those hopes and dreams.

This is probably one of the last times I’ll be able to wear my long boots, this outfit was from a few weeks ago for a transitional weather day. I love bright colours when the sun comes out, as I said in my previous OOTD post, it brightens the mood as well.
