There’s nothing I love more than getting dressed up for a night out on the town.  Since it was just going to be us girls, I got all dolled up in my favorite color: PINK!  But to keep the look from being overly saccharine, I decided to toughen things up with my leather jacket and a pair of sassy – but totally impractical – patent leather boots.

Speaking of these boots, I scored these beauties on sale for just $40 at Burlington Coat Factory last year.  I almost passed them up because I wasn’t sure what I’d wear them with, but I’m glad I changed my mind because they are so much fun to wear!  I always get tons of comments on them, which almost makes up for the fact that they’re a little uncomfortable… almost.

Oh the sacrifices I make in the name of cute shoes!

I’m all about spring cleaning… however, my packrat tendencies have only been reinforced by today’s outfit.  For years (3 to be exact), my husband has been insisting kindly suggesting that I get rid of this blazer.  I can’t tell  you how many times I’ve placed it in the “toss” pile, only to dig it out at the last second before it met it’s fate at either Beacon’s Closet or the local goodwill.

In any case, it looks like my reluctance has paid off because this jacket matches perfectly with my new frock and allows me to get a few wears even with the chill still in the air.

And how about you guys?  Do you have any articles of clothing that others have “gently recommended” you get rid of but you just can’t seem to part with?

Shortly after taking these pics early last week, I thought I’d soon be able to put away my winter gear and bring out my springtime frocks…

NOT SO FAST!

Since then the temps have plummeted, and we’ve had snow, sleet and hail dumped on us.  Today I’m back in my parka, and it’s starting to feel like spring will never actually come.
