Spring is here, but I’m not ready.

Spring is here and it appears that I’ve missed the memo.   Instead of getting ready to wrap the belt of my newly altered trench coat around my waist, I’m still trotting around in my vintage wool winter coat.  And I’m still wearing boots–but the Uggs are retired since the snow has disappeared, I swear!

I’m also in a transitional phase where I am throwing out A LOT more than I am going to be bringing in. I want to edit my wardrobe drastically and only have a few outfits for the seasons (basically Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter) in my closet.  The trips to H&M and Zara for “fast fashion” items are going to be coming to an alarming halt.

If it’s vintage?  Well, I’m beginning to become more comfortable in buying vintage clothing.   I’ve found some great online vintage shops lately such as Dear Golden Vintage and Cherry Bloom Vintage, amongst others.

These are just some of the thoughts that are running through my head as I am planning what to wear for spring.  I don’t really have a “look” in mind and there really isn’t a source of inspiration.  It’s all based on what I like and what I feel will fit the best.  I’ve already got the trench and I’m thinking easy fitting dresses, harem pants or loose trousers, simple tops and oxfords.

This warmer weather has once again stirred up my desire to buy a new bicycle to ride around town.   The idea  is a bit out of the realm seeing that I have no room in my apartment for storing a bike.  I just chalk it up my jealously gazing at the bike commuters on the way home from work, soaking up the gorgeous sun and getting exercise while I’m sitting in my car with my sun visor down in bumper to bumper-traffic.  Yeah.

How is your wardrobe for Spring coming along?  Do you have any items planned or are you just winging it?

    Oh, I'm winging it. And I know what you mean about the massive editing. I haven't gotten to it, but I'm a lot more careful about what I buy; no fast fashion, and things I want to keep forever. Now, if I could complete the purging, I'd be good.

    And can you hang up your bike in your apartment? It wouldn't take up as much space.

    And THOSE PANTS. I've never really fancied the harem pants, but I'd wear the hell out of those.

    Purging is so difficult to do! I have a bag of clothes for Goodwill/shelters waiting by my door and it's been that way for…awhile. I have every good intention of letting go, but it's so difficult.

    I would hang my bike up in my apartment, but I don't even think there is room for that on my walls or ceilings! It's a pretty small apartment as far as space on my walls, so I can see it being a problem. When I move, I think I will make sure there is room for a bike if I decide to get one.

    And those pants are perfection. Almost like a sculpture.
