We’re almost at the end of January…thank goodness for that I hear you say! It’s a tough month and seems to drag on and on. Every winter I dread it, but try to remain optimistic, knowing that sping isn’t far away. When Anna announced the theme of Joyful January, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to flip the usual gloom on its head with a riot of colour. That’s my natural response to cold and dreary weather.

One of the things I actually enjoy about winter is wearing colourful faux fur coats, and this is undoubtedly my most vibrant. With all these colours, it goes with just about anything. I bought it heavily discounted but it’s even cheaper now on the Jayley website. As if that’s not enough faux fur, I added a fun smiley face bag. That’s bringing some much-needed joy to January!
