Spring is so close that I can almost taste it!  I am so over bulky winter jackets and dark colors that it’s not even funny.  Going into stores these days and seeing all of the beautiful bright prints and frivolous frocks makes me even more anxious to usher in a new season.  While I certainly don’t want to jump the gun and do a full wardrobe switch, I’ve slowly started incorporating more warm-weather pieces into my daily outfits.  I can’t believe how good it feels to wear pastels again!

Why does it always seem like you can never find anything to wear when there’s an important event or a special occasion?  It’s as if your closet purposely conspires against you, and all of your favorite stores suddenly seem to have a dearth of acceptable inventory.

At least that’s how I used to feel.  These days, I have a little  rule for myself: whenever I spot a great party dress I just go ahead and get it… even if I don’t have anyplace to wear it anytime soon.  So far, it’s worked well for me, and I no longer have to scramble around at the last minute whenever I have to go someplace “fancy”.  I spotted this dress at Banana Republic (on the clearance rack for just $25!), and I immediately snatched it up.  My favorite features are the jeweled belt and the tiny pleats around the neckline.

I can’t wait to take it out for a spin.  Cocktails anyone?
