At first I thought the ruffles on this shirt seemed a little over-the-top. So I decided to tone things down by slipping on a pair of bright yellow pumps…
Ummm, yeah. This is the kind of logic that runs through my head at 6am as I’m rushing to get ready for work.

Even though it looks like Punxsutawney Phil has pulled a fast one on me this year, I’ve been easing more and more of my spring-y pieces into my wardrobe by relying on all manner of tights, blazers, and cardigans. So far, so good… but I’m still longing for the days of sandals, and dare I say, no jacket at all! A girl can dream, can’t she?
One thing I am happy about: For the past few weeks, the sun has still been out when I get off work! There’s nothing more depressing than spending an entire day in the office, only to have it be pitch black when you leave for the day.

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?
