So Spring has decided to go on a vacation. Let’s hope it’s brief…!
I really love this soft blazer (yep, another one) with the neon edging that I wore for a quick shopping trip into town yesterday, but I was worried about being too cold. This time of year the temperature is often near freezing first thing in the morning, so you have to layer, layer, layer. It was goodbye bare legs and feet and hello again, socks and scarf and knitwear. And of course, by lunchtime I was really too hot wearing a sweater underneath – you just can’t win 🙁
Thanks to Mr Summers for more fabulous photos… I really am so proud of him for making me look half decent, and some great pictures too. The “running picture” was his idea: I insisted I would look like an idiot, but the one I’ve posted here made us laugh so I had to take back that remark and include it. How he composed it so well with his [idiot] wife running clumsily at him in her heels I’ll never know…!
Happy Easter weekend everyone; if you have extra days off – enjoy!!
What's not to love, especially the neon piped blazer! Very lovely and well put together look. 🙂 xx
Thank you sweetie, very much! C x
Love the mani and the pops of pink on your lobes!
Glad you do – thanks Kristin! C x
Your hair is GORGEOUS! Can I have it? (Had a go at red from the hairdresser, but it didn't turn out as nice as yours!)
Cheers,

That's so sweet of you, Rosemary – I'm hope you embrace the red, though, I did go more and more red each time (it didn't start out that red at all)! Thanks hun, Catherine x
Yay for blazers! Love all the style featured on Monday Mingle but yours is perfectly timed with mine:

:)) thank you, Wendy! C xo
Fabulous accessories!
Thank you, Jill! C x
This is a great idea to wear neon, especially for those of us who don't look great wearing it as a primary piece. I'll be looking for some neon edging 🙂
Your hubby takes great pics. My hubby's pics are way better than mine, but on his early days to the college, I get stuck with the luck of the tripod and self-timer 😛
Mmm I'm loving neon just as much in these small touches too, Lynne! And have you tried using a remote rather than self timer – still not ideal but I find it loads easier (and quicker)! Thanks for your lovely comments C x
I love the neon trim and your accessories are amazing. I really need more bracelets. You are quite stylish as well…I'm following 🙂

Don't think it could get much more perfect that cobalt and black…with those amazing neon accents. In love.<3 Cambriajupefashion.blogspot.comEnter my Shabby Apple GIVEAWAY!!!
Hmm I know blue and black aren't particularly spring-like, but that's how chilly it got!! Thank you lovely Cambria xoxo
Mr summers did a great job with the photography..I like the running shot. Great accessorizing as well and the blue hues looks fabulous on you especially against your hair color. I like the jacket too, the neon trimming looks really nice.

Thanks Kat… it was the neon piping that sold the blazer to me…! Thanks so much for following btw, welcome! Catherine x
As much as the colours, I'm really interested in the proportions of your pieces, the way you've layered the shorter jacket over longer top, the length of the pants, etc. Looks great!
Thanks sweetie, glad you like it! C x
Tell Mr. Summers that he is doing great and maybe could give the other husbands pointers! This blue is amazing on you..gorgeous!
Thank you Pam… though with all my bossing about during shoots I'm surprised he still continues doing it: he's a saint…!! C xoxo
The color of your sweater is gorgeous, and I love your scarf too 🙂

I still think you are a dare devil. With a great sense of what works and what doesn't. Although I wouldn't dare what you wear ( and I am much older) you still inspire me to think " oh that might work" .
I love that I'm inspiring you, sweetie! Thank you and good luck with the blogging! C x
Yes, you and Mr. Summers make a great team! You look marvelous, and the snood is so pretty, I think I'll have to order one : >
That's so sweet of you, Patti – glad you like it!! C xx

I love all the layering in this outfit and how you manage to include the latest color trends in it. Photos are amazing – great job of both model and photographer!
Thank you so much, Teodora!! Catherine x
I'll have to talk to my husband about these photos – you look so good on all of them. I love your choice of colours, giving me ideas for one or two tops in my wardrobe.
That's great, Kaffe! Thanks sweetie xoxo
