What are you excited about for spring?

Maybe it's because it's been unseasonably warm here, but I already feel like I want to shop/style for the spring. Hopefully Angie will have some spring trend posts soon. What are you looking forward to for spring? Have you seen any trends that you are planning to participate in?

The trend of leaving the house without a puffer and snow boots?

Yes, April-- I'm looking forward to not needing ten minutes to put on all my outdoor layers!

Laura, I'm eager to wear some pretty pastels. I also hope to find a pair of fab sandals.

Shoes that aren't boots. I don't care which ones, just that they aren't boots.

always trying

I too am thinking spring as it has been warmer than normal and very dry-no rainy season at all this year. also since I did the big shoe purge,and a more minor jacket purge, starting to purchase shoes for more year round wear, and thinking about sandals too. The purge included heels, flats, balarina flats, and sandals. In my warmer climate looking to purchase at least two jackets that will be year round wear, as even in summer here one needs a light weight jacket at night most of the time. Maybe a white denim, and a colorful abstract print of some sort like maybe a bomber in a silky fabric.

Personally, black shorts. Not a trend, but a gaping wardrobe hole that I've filled with half a**ed stand ins for the last few years.
As for trends, a d'orsay flat, maybe colorblocked and maybe with an ankle strap.

Oh, and a chic black romper if I can find the right one!

Not having to carry my shoes with me to work.

Being able to feel my legs after walking into work.

Being able to take DD outside again to play and go for family walks.

Oh....it is SUCH a winter here, and it will continue for at least another 6 to 8 weeks. So spring feels quite a ways away....

But, having said that, I am looking forward to --

wearing my Okalas (and maybe adding another pair to the roster)
something in baby blue or pink
more fluid fits
more white and cream

I'm looking forward to not being cold all the time.
Wearing my light blue pants and some lighter colors.

Besides looking forward to being able to wear real shoes and not just snow boots, I am looking forward to picking out some clothes in some different colors that are "springy." I always look washed-out in pastels and so don't have much of a spring wardrobe, but I am working more on determining what colors look good on me, and I think I might be able to find some stuff that has a lighter "spring" feel to it that is still within my color palette.

I'm looking forward to being warm enough without my warm under layers, puffer coat, thick wool socks, and always a pair of gloves. On the other hand I'm not looking forward to scorching hot humid days when it's not fun to wear any layers.

It is so cold here that they cancelled school for tomorrow. Wind chills tomorrow will be between -25 and -40 F.

And yet, even so, I do not look forward to spring. Fall and winter fashion is my forte, and I adore tights and boots and dresses with jackets and long coats and scarves. I don't enjoy going bare-legged, but spring and summer don't give a person much of an option. I really enjoy layers and jewel tones and scarves, and spring and summer fashion simply don't lend themselves to that.

NOT having to wear long underwear and multiple layers of clothing. It has been brutally cold here (-6 this morning). I'm looking forward to not having to wear my snowsuit to go jogging in.

I bought a few pairs of cute flats at the end of the Spring/Summer season and look forward to taking them out for a spin. Still boot weather here and we have more winter to come… will have to be patient.

I'm much more into fall/winter than spring/summer, so weather-wise I'm already happy. But clothes-wise I'm excited and hopeful about finding a summer black and white striped dress. I have a ton of them pinned on my spring/summer Pinterest board but don't own one. And I'm excited to try out the sandals I bought at the end of last summer to replace my favorite worn-out pair.

I'm going to echo Echo! I love cool weather clothes and never find anything to get excited about for summer. Plus this year I will be starting from almost nothing, so I'm sort of dreading it instead of looking forward to it. But, in Angie's post today I was happy to see that fluid fit will be trendy because that's a change I've made and am loving. Just hoping to have success shopping.

I'm happiest when the weather is neither too warm nor too cold, so I'm looking forward to Spring if we get one. Most of the time, it goes from cold to hot or from hot to cold here where I live. We don't seem to get all 4 seasons.

This Spring will be my first season of implementing my style goals which include editing my closet with each season and deliberately planning which pieces I will wear the most (and moving rotating my closet seasonally so most used seasonal pieces are easily accessible). Can't wait to see how this new deliberate way of thinking about my wardrobe plays out.

I'm look to forward also to experimenting with pastels - if I can make mixing with brown a success. There's no love lost between me and pastels, but it would be nice to be able to find a way to work together... hehe.

Wearing 3/4 tops & cardigans! I love that look with bare legs in skirts. And getting to wear my thin tops with jeans, no topper needed.

Wearing lots of white. I have white bootcuts that I do not wear in winter months, they would get too dirty. And I've had straight leg one's on my wish list all winter. Now that spring pieces are entering stores I hope to snatch up a pair that I can start wearing with boots now and then flats for spring and summer.

I also have a pair of boyfriend jeans that have sat unworn all winter. I'm looking forward to wearing these with fun footwear, I just haven't figured out what fun footwear is yet for them.

Oooo!

Firstly-- my SO should be back working day shift instead of graveyards, which gives us many more hours together! I'm ready to head outside and enjoy CO and the sun.

Second-- Spring will be my first opportunity to shop at the START of a season as part of my much-needed wardrobe update/upgrade. I have a list, which includes replacing my s/s basics and transitioning my work wardrobe. 1-2 jersey skirts, a jersey dress, denim shorts, BF jeans, straight legs, a denim jacket, an army jacket, and some new tops are on the list. A big one will also be shoes-- I need 1-2 comfy pairs for work, and 1-2 sandals.

I want a lilac top, gray slacks, and I'd like to at least shop for a cream leather jacket.
