So interesting to see how you all handle it. Thanks for the good conversation and ideas.
Cat2: I love how your wardrobe works for all seasons, seamlessly!
always trying: We can compare notes! My eternal search for white jeans just struck out again. The pair that arrived today was the right weight and color but the fit was off. I had one pair that almost worked a few years ago, but gave up on them because they bagged out too much by the end of the day. I’d love to have that option in my wardrobe. Every year I try a bunch, but I’m being very picky.
Minaminu: I love your finds! That floral blouse and navy shirtdress, especially.
Unfrumped: Exactly. I made need long pants, booties, warm layers, but if I can have something that feels like spring I’m a lot happier. I’m a very intuitive and emotional dresser and season, color, and situation are all important to me.
Runcarla - I wear my coats so little right now that they don’t play a big part in my wardrobe. I love your spring selection!
LaPed - you have a great strategy. I want very different colors in fall and spring and so… Though now that I’m pulling more mustard in, for me that is both a fall and spring color. Those cropped trousers look perfect!
Joy: “One feels and wants spring so much sooner than it actually arrives. “ YES exactly. My heart wants pastels and crisp navy and white and my bones and toes want to be warm and dry. Love your strategy. I’ve adopted some of this with my mid-winter colors like warm pink and cream sweaters. Thanks for the tips!
Rachylou - Northern California doesn’t have much spring, does it? Your baby chick outfit sounds adorable, though. I love a good navy in the spring. I wear a little navy now, but before I wore much at all I craved it every spring, like clockwork.
Sloper - I lived in San Diego growing up and yes, spring was about a week in February when things started blooming and the hills were green and then boom, summer.
Angie - Yes, pacific NW spring sisters! I think the toppers are telling me I need better layering pieces. I’ve ordered some new tees, some long sleeve, and I suspect I’ll rely a lot on scarves. I don’t run super cold, so if I can keep my shoulders cozy that often does the trick.
