One, because in Arkansas it's starting to get warm during the day (supposed to be 77 next Tuesday!) but it's ridiculously unpredictable (77 next Tuesday, followed by a high of 55 on Wednesday. Say what?!!). And two, my husband and I recently bought a Jeep Wrangler and we are DYING to rip that soft top off and CRUISE! So what better time to be excited about Spring fashion!</p> <p>First and foremost, I'm ready for more opportunity to actually wear sunglasses! My mother bought me my long-time dream Prada 'Baroque' pair at Christmas 2013 and they are one of my 'pride and joy' pieces of my entire wardrobe. These alone could make me ready for Spring :)</p> <p>Otherwise, I'm SO ready to wear my warm weather staples: loose fitting tops, little shorts, and strappy sandals or wedges (the only heel I'll ever wear with shorts!). I tend to stick with that basic concept, with additions of maxi dresses, high-low tops, button-down styles in sheer fabrics and bright colors, black, white and fun colors like yellow short shorts, and flowy yet edgy tanks. I'm also excited about my recently purchased distressed white skinnies and black tribal print mini skirt (both from Express) and gray cigarette jeans from J. Crew that fit like they were custom made and perfect with metallic sandals! And I always love a Nautical look-stripes, chain jewelry and Sperry Topsiders! </p> <p>My style tends to be a little more boho during the warmer months, but still full of edgy touches like jewelry and lots of black (no matter the season!). I like to feel unfussy and easy. I do love shorts, but hate feeling like I'm trying too hard to dress them up, so wedges are my go-to Spring shoe for a change in height! My new pair that I'm slightly obsessed with from Lucky Brand may be SUPER high, but still manage to have an easy, cool 70s vibe. With leather and studs?! Please, I was immediately puddy in the salesman's hands! Haha! </p> <p>Hope everyone has had a FABULOUS weekend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring/page/2#post-1189843 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:39:18 +0000 Diana 1189843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, piperlime keeps showing me these in the sidebar. &nbsp;They are rather expensive though.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&amp;pid=128250002">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....=128250002</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring/page/2#post-1189841 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:37:24 +0000 Jenava 1189841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;I have Spring fever, too! &nbsp;I know just that feeling. &nbsp;(-:</p> <p>And...florals - I want to try the floral on floral trend! &nbsp;But I'm so picky about floral prints. &nbsp;I have one lovely watercolor-y silk blouse. &nbsp;I'd love a floral skirt...or, dare I say, a pair of floral slouchy pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring/page/2#post-1189829 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:31:06 +0000 Diana 1189829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very timely thread, as in the last week or so my desire to shop has suddenly reawakened. &nbsp;In Feb, I bought only one thing, the Anthro rose print knit moto, and in January I bought my replacement Longchamp (a long planned and needed purchase) and the Blondo boots (another desperately needed item). &nbsp;But I hadn't really been feeling like shopping for fun things until really recently, when it was like a light suddenly turned on. &nbsp;I guess I'm feeling the spring fever now! &nbsp;It's not quite warm enough just yet to wear most spring things here (we may get more snow next week) but it's no longer deep arctic freeze weather.&nbsp; I am eyeing lots of fun things - all of the glorious florals around for spring, breezy tops, and interesting pants silhouettes in lighter weight fabrics like linen blends. &nbsp;</p> <p>As for what is already in my closet? &nbsp;I am really excited to put away my wool coats and break out my leather jackets. &nbsp;Ditto for putting away snow boots and bringing back the fun, but not snowworthy boots and booties. &nbsp;Can't wait for bare ankle/leg weather to sport rolled BF jeans and booties or oxfords and floaty skirts with midcalf boots. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring/page/2#post-1189818 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:17:19 +0000 Jenava 1189818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't mention, but one of my absolutely favorite things about the summer months is not having to wear a coat/scarf/hat/gloves to leave the house!!</p> <p>I can imagine that feels a very long way off for some of us...but it's a pretty early spring day here in Seattle (first day of daylight savings today - yes, I know it is a crazy concept to ppl outside - and some inside - the US) despite a flood warning still in effect. &nbsp;Hubby is washing the car before the rains come back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189685 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 18:23:04 +0000 Kristin L 1189685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm excited to wear sandals and spring/summer skirts and dresses to work. Last summer I was still a lab rat, which meant jeans and tshirts every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189671 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 18:14:27 +0000 Janet 1189671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had thoughts of a jumpsuit too, if I found one that actually works for me. I think it's a fun look.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meant to comment on that sweater and jeans on you, Jenava. I really like the jeans, and that color is beautiful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189668 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 18:11:55 +0000 Vicki 1189668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, your mauve Everlane looks so soft and cozy with your distressed jeans. I want to see you in that tulle skirt, and do hope you make the purchase. </p> <p>Like Mo, I had a maxi craving and bought an inexpensive cream-navy-coral striped racer back one and I wore it yesterday with my denim jacket and Cons. I loved it for its comfort and casual California vibe. </p> <p>I'm also looking to improve my denim tribe and I want to add both a light wash and a super dark wash with orange thread in a TBD fit.</p> <p>A flared skirt could be fun. </p> <p>Nude wedge heels, when I can find them. </p> <p>Something in cashmere, like what you're wearing. </p> <p>Colors I'm sticking with are navy, white, nude/camel, and a bright like pink, blue or coral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189554 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 15:45:30 +0000 Angie 1189554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to mention a jumpsuit, Jenava.

As for clothing, my boho side is bursting for maxis, skirts and dresses. I wear colors all year long so nothing stands out there. .. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189528 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 14:42:01 +0000 Isabel 1189528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with April, I just want to ear shoes without salt marks on them ! </p> <p>I am looking forward to wearing my necklaces , I tend to not wear them in the cold months because I wear scarves.</p> <p>Cuffed boyfriend jeans and flats or loafers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189503 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 14:11:27 +0000 lyn67 1189503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already wear my new&nbsp;white PU leather hip length coat instead of my regular black trench for outerwear-and trlly feel fab in it!&nbsp;I am also looking forward to give up black midcalf boots/booties for lighter boties&nbsp;and pumps, esp new purchased navy leather 1,5 inch wedges (the ones alike to which I admired/wanted so much&nbsp;last spring&nbsp;&nbsp;seen first on&nbsp;Ingunn). Can't wait, yeay!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189495 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 13:59:29 +0000 Suz 1189495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so looking forward to putting away the puffer and the snow boots! I can't even imagine what I'll wear when those are gone.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I know that for early spring I will love wearing my booties again, and later, shoes that are not boots! (Imagine that.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I can't wait to wear more skirts.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm eager to wear my lighter cotton and silk / cotton knits.&nbsp;</p> <p>BF jeans showing skin (i.e. rolled up a bit).&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't purchased anything yet except for a pair of Okalas (which will actually be more like summer shoes for me, since spring is too cool for them); one silk top; and a light merino sweater. Oh- and a pair of taupe jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope to add a topper or two. And something in radiant orchid, if I can find it.&nbsp;Apart from that, I won't buy much for spring, per se. It's a very, very short season here. I'll need to gear up for summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189489 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 13:49:59 +0000 Janet 1189489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am excited to wear shoes that are not boots, oddly enough. And as much as i like my wool coats and Canada Goose Down puffer, I'm ready to retire those for the season. What a winter! But I'm waiting patiently to break out the new cobalt wedge ankle strap shoes, and the Jeffrey Campbell Deetz flats cciele inspired me to get. </p> <p>I'm excited to rediscover the patterned bomber jacket I got last spring -- it still feel fresh to me, with the floral print, and to mix my white leather jacket with more springy ensembles. I'm also looking forward to breaking out the silky pants I started wearing last year -- it will be a nice change of pace from heavy jeans! </p> <p>Many of the spring trends don't particularly float my boat, but I am looking forward to lightening my palette a bit and getting some good use out of the new AG Nikki's before it gets hot here. I need to take a look at my spring/summer items (stored in a separate closet for the season) and review what I have for a possible purge/refresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189468 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 13:03:18 +0000 Karie 1189468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your distressed jeans look fabulous. I've recently dipped my toe into the super distressed jean trend (another party I'm late to). I like your idea of pairing your lavender sweater with bright pink pants. I have a pair of bright pink pants and I think I'll try that too. I also want to try mixing up shades of blue. In years past, I always thought blues had to be matched exactly - how fun it will be&nbsp;to break that antiquated rule!&nbsp;</p> <p>For me, I think some interesting pastels are in my future. I'd like to add to my current favorites, mint green and light blue, and add some tangerines and a nice bright citron.</p> <p>And some swingy skirts? Yes, please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189462 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 12:42:48 +0000 Eirlys 1189462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After all the rain here in the UK anything is better than a raincoat!</p> <p>After dithering over the years I am now settled into keeping to my black and white plus an "in" colour for accessories mode as it makes life so much easier.</p> <p>Shopping malls have changed the clothes I wear even on a chilly day. The shops are so hot that Anoraks and long coats are too heavy. I now go for trousers, a white shirt and a colourful cardigan/jacket either with boots or shoes. Easy also for trying on clothes. </p> <p>No pastels for me, however fashionable, as they make my skin look grubby, with the exception of a "nice" pink!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189414 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 07:30:36 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1189414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking forward to wearing fewer layers (which also makes accessories more visible), black and white, blues, some pink (rare for me, and it's almost always a bright or deep one. I don't do pastel pink), and orange. I love orange. &lt;3</p> <p>There will also be more skirts and dresses, and some shoes will be a lot more wearable on days when we aren't having endless rain... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189233 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 02:39:41 +0000 Gigi 1189233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking forward to wearing my white skinnies with a new black-and-white top that I bought about two months ago (the top isn't very warm so hasn't been worn yet). I'm also looking forward to wearing my new leopard skin booties and my nude heels.</p> <p>I also have a crazy mint and maroon striped dress from Anthro that I want to wear. :^)</p> <p>I want to find some coral and lavender-colored items. So far, no luck! I have found some in the right colors, but the fit was off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189232 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 02:38:31 +0000 April 1189232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking forward to walking outside without having to take off whatever is on my feet to put on stompy snow boots; not having to remove a minimum of three layers to get undressed for bed; putting away the g_d__ puffers; and not looking at wool socks for months on end.</p> <p>But that's setting the bar fairly low, isn't it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189211 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 02:19:53 +0000 annagybe 1189211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But honestly I haven't thought of it really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189207 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 02:16:51 +0000 Suja 1189207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the first spring that I am really giving seasonal dressing much thought outside of reducing layers as the temperature goes up :)</p> <p>I am going to wear more light and bright colors and dial back the black and charcoal gray to a minimum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189178 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 01:44:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1189178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm most looking forward to NOT wearing my puffer coat!

I felt like my warm weather dressing last year was so blah and I have made updating my warm weather clothes (most 3-4 years old) a priority for this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189148 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 01:13:19 +0000 always trying 1189148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will soon be wearing my black and white pointy ankle strap flats, my newly purchased pointy navy pumps, and my newly purchased super perfect grey ankle pants,&nbsp;and &nbsp;the navy blazer with rushed sleeves.&nbsp; These are my purchases so far for spring.&nbsp; And the white denim jacket arrived today-prpbably could have gone smaller, but it is roomy enough to wear a sweater under it too, and or layer it, so it is a keeper.&nbsp; </p> <p>Am currently&nbsp;revising my summer list, but two absolutes are white loafers, and maybe two pairs of Burkies, and black 2 inch or under -maybe wedge, sandals.&nbsp; The loafers I want now, but so far have not found anything that feels exactly right. Am being very careful with all the &nbsp;new shoe purchases since the big purge of cute uncomfy shoes.</p> <p>Have been seeing a lot of maxis in stores around here-including a moderately high end boutique.&nbsp; Am giving serious thought to adding another -have a black maxi skirt that I love, so maybe a color-or something lighter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189118 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 00:39:59 +0000 Jenava 1189118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, what about dungarees?? &nbsp;(-:</p> <p>I'm also looking for white jeans, and looking forward to wearing my olive green&nbsp;silk knee-length harem pants again. &nbsp;Also looking forward to more skirts. &nbsp;And my birks with a pedi.</p> <p>Mo, I'm interested to see how the maxi search goes. &nbsp;I have one maxi that is sort of heavier that I really like; can't wear it in the rain...</p> <p>I just bought a white boxy knit &amp; a pair of peep toe mary janes, which I found on my search for t-strap shoes. &nbsp;They have a lovely retro vibe which will be wonderful with full skirts. &nbsp;I wonder if I should jump on the ankle-strap bandwagon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189099 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 00:19:40 +0000 Tanya 1189099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking forward to a couple of color schemes both you and Angie mentioned:&nbsp; all shades of blue, pastels, black&amp;white, navy&amp;white, all white; and hoping to find some radiant orchid.</p> <p>In<br /> terms of items, that would be light knitwear, new leather motos (if<br /> they fit), ankle strap pumps (wedge for me), loafers, slipper flats and<br /> oxfords, and various fluid woven tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-excited-to-wear-for-spring#post-1189094 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 00:15:38 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1189094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirts.
