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.

Closet Confection: Four Your Eyes Only

When: Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

Where: Work

What: Sweater (J. Crew), skirt (Forever 21), belt (hand-me-down), tights (???), shoes (Vince Camuto via Loehmann’s), sunglasses (Moschino via Loehmann’s)

Guys, I’m seriously plotting a move to Florida… or better yet, Hawaii.

Despite Puxatawney Phil’s recent prediction, the spring still seems so far from grasp.  Ahhh… but what can one do, other than put on a smile (through chattering teeth) and press on?

Throwing on a cozy sweater and nubby sweater tights does help some.

And the little foot warmer I keep under my desk at the office helps a lot!

Oh, and Swiss Miss hot cocoa!  With marshmallows!  That does wonders!

Ok, I guess winter isn’t all bad.

In other news:  Since I’m always trudging around in snow boots these days and changing my shoes at work anyway, I decided to be totally impractical and include peep toes in my 30 for 30 challenge.  This was a great idea in theory, however I didn’t factor in having to clear a little path between myself and my camera while taking outfit photos.  Doh!

Closet Confection: In Bold Print

When: Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

Where: Work

What: Cardigan (Nine West via Filene’s Basement), dress (Strawberry), tights (Calvin Klein), shoes (Nicole Miller via Filene’s Basement)

I am sooooo over winter it’s not even funny!  Yesterday we got hit with another 7 inches of snow, and I was not a happy camper.  To shake away some of the winter blahs, I went for a bold graphic print.  It helped some, but I definitely would have preferred to be lying on a white sand beach somewhere in the Caribbean with a piña colada in hand.

Perhaps I’ll have my own indoor beach party this weekend.  What do you think?  I can crank up the thermostat to 85, throw on a couple of Bay Watch reruns, and lounge around the house in my bathing suit.

Perhaps I should take my Christmas tree down first…
