DH: "This weather is awful. It's nearly May and I can't believe it's so cold and rainy!"
Me: "This weather is PERFECT -- more opportunities to wear my new trench coat!!!"

I got it back from the tailors too late to wear it during a rainy week in late March, but just in time to take it on our trip to San Fran. But, alas, it was too warm there to wear it much. So I, for one, have been happy to see chilly/wet spring weather last longer this month.

Things are still crazy-busy with my new job, and life is only just starting to regain some normalcy on the personal front. I am very grateful right now have a stable of casual, easy, comfortable clothes in my closet to reach for, because comfort is what I've been craving.

For those that know me here, you know that "casual" has never been my fashion comfort zone -- I never feel quite right in casual wear, like jeans and knit tops. That's changed recently: thank the fashion heavens for boyfriend and relaxed styles, I have had more luck finding jeans that fit and flatter and I *want* to wear, in the past year than in my entire life.

As for the trench, I am in love with it and so impressed at how warm it is. Why did I wait so long to invest???

Outfit: an Angie formula, striped top + patterned scarf.

WiW:

Burberry trench
Jcrew striped top
BR cream zip cardigan
7's Kimmie jeans
Coach bag
scarf - forget brand; from Nordie's a few seasons ago. In heavy rotation at the moment because I like how it works with the blush bag.

Hair: overly big at the moment -- salon appointment next week!
