SPRING - forward

Anyone else here ready to see the spring stuff? I keep perusing the web stores looking to see what is coming and I am still too early. Arggg, I do not want to look at winter stuff anymore. Especially now that we posted the 2013 outfits. Time to move on.......

Always ready to dream of spring ...

Ditto, Deb! But I know there is at least 4 more months of snow for me!

Oh Carla, I do not think I could handle 4 more months of snow (or any snow al all).

Right now it's Resort stuff coming out. Usually a sneak peek of stuff to come in the spring. Also sometimes designers experiment more in this collection, to see what will sell.

I'm having the opposite reaction! Fall is my favorite shopping season, so I've been browsing stores online almost daily for the past few months. I really hope I get out of the habit before the spring things totally take over, because I need to spend less time online shopping. Plus, it's much less fun when so few items match my style preferences.

...that said, a few of our Australian posters already have me thinking of ways to make my summer clothing more me!

I love spring style because it's so nice to get to remove some of the extra layers. Like Greyscale I find the Australian posters summery outfits really refreshing at this time of year.

Ha, so funny -- not me! I've barely gotten into my cold weather dressing, thanks to a month in Texas spent in waders and grungy clothes. I am actually glad I have a few more months of jacket-and-boot weather!

But around here, we tend to go straight from winter to summer weather, with maybe a couple of beautiful weeks of spring in between, but not much more. Spring dressing for me is a very short window before I'm trying to figure out how not to melt and still look at least slightly cool.

Nope. I don't want to see it until the temp is above 0c, again. It's too tempting!

Grey Rainbow

I'm with you Deb. Three months in to what passes for winter here (NorCal), I feel like I have my cold weather uniforms down and I'm ready to play with updates to warm weather wardrobe. I too find inspiration from Australia and have been busy taking notes especially from Deborah. Great tip about the resort collections from Anna!

Since I greatly prefer fall and winter clothing, I am not at all ready to think about spring things yet. In fact, I just ordered a couple more sweaters to try and I want a chance to wear them!

i feel like we had a late start to winter, but when it finaly came, it came hard. i'm still ok with winter dressing, but lets start this conversation again at the begining of Feb!

I'm ready for the Spring merchandise too! Bring it on. I know I will have to wait though. It seems to trickle slowly in each year (when our temps are ready for it in January sometimes). Fingers crossed for some midi dresses!

I SO much prefer boots and sweaters and all of the possibilities layering brings, but living in a very warm and temperate climate, I'm slowing admitting the fact that I need to focus and spend my $ on my predominate season versus the things I only dream about being able to wear longer. I'm no where near done wearing my fall and winter items, but sun and warm days will soon dictate that whether I like it or not, so I'm *trying* hard to tell myself I'm excited for spring fashion and to avoid buying more items that only get a few months use at all of the winter sales. Sigh.

I am with you Deb, I can't stop dreaming about spring color palettes. That's what is inspiring me. Not shapes, not fabrics, but COLORS! I am on Pinterest looking at stuff for 2014 already, and checking out the collections on In Style .com

I'm chuckling because it feels like spring here (reaching in the upper 60s-70 degrees around here this week). I'm ready for some winter, darn it!

I'm with cciele! Our winters are short and late and interspersed with days and weeks of summery temps. I always enjoy it when the weather is cold enough for jeans, boots, and sweaters!

Not me - I don't wear pastels & spring brights, so find retail collections unappealing.

Hahahaha!

Oh, sorry. 5 months to go here...

No. Spring merchandise is my shopping weakness that I have to keep under control while we have many more months of cold, grey and wet weather.

I'm in the boat of not having had any real winter so far (and maybe not at all) this year. I'm enjoying my temperate weather right now and the wardrobe options I get along with that. Sandals or boots - both can work in 65 - 70 temps here. Fun!

Echo

Veteran

Wait, wait. Technically, the first day of winter was December 21st, so we've had 10 days of winter and people are looking forward to spring? We have a minimum of 4 months of cold temperatures left here, and maybe more, plus fall/winter is my favourite shopping season, so I am not rushing into spring at all.

I'm with Greyscale - I love autumn cool mornings & nights & sunny clear days - jackets, booties,layers

We still have a hot summer to get through but I can dream.

No and yes, I could do with a dose of summery weather (hoping I get to go on my AZ March trip) but much preffer cold weather dressing and have 4 months to go!

I am chuckling at the great variety of responses to this! I'm with Echo.

But then, this here is the girl who is ridiculously excited about going to the Antarctic in just a few weeks' time!

I am so VERY ready to see spring stuff! I'm afraid I don't have much patience for winter at all, and as soon as Christmas is over, I'm ready for spring. Freezing cold weather, being covered up head to toe, and nothing but boots gets old quickly, and I can't wait for lighter colors and a little bit of skin showing!
