My Spring Aesthetic 🌸

White, light beige, and pastel colours

Light cardigans, denim jackets and blazers

“Ditsy” flower patterns

Spring flowers like daffodils, crocus, and primroses; bumblebees; rabbits; eggs; baby lambs; chicks

Reading books I enjoyed in my childhood, such as Heidi, The Wind in the Willows, Winnie-the-Pooh or Peter Pan, and watching their adaptations

Looking out for spring birds on my walks

Taking photos of the emerging flowers

Listening to light classical music, like Beethoven's 'Allegro Ma Non Troppo' from his Pastoral Symphony; and music from cartoons films I loved
