Outfits and head colds

I am suffering with a head cold at the moment and last night we had to go out to dinner with various people that Nick works with. Having received this pair of pastel mint tights from the lovely Cara at We Love Colors during the week, I really wanted to pick an outfit that went…

Wherein I wear clothes in another city
