Love the coloutrs and pattern in the tunic - hares are fab.
I've been coveting a bronze hare statue but can't justify the cost.4 -
Think I found a bargain in the Otley BHF shop today. A House of Bruar plaid, bias cut skirt, flared at the bottom, almost ankle length and pure wool. Priced at £6 and looks brand new. Found a similar skirt on the H of B website, tho a different plaid, £139.95! Apologies for the creases, should have steamed it but it will need taking in a little at the waist first.
P.S. Updated photo after alteration and steaming!

Some lovely finds! I wore my River Island jumper today: it's really warm in spite of being cropped and shorter-sleeved. I was very tempted by another jumper today but talked myself out of it. I need space!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
