This is the time of year, when being fashion forward, becomes very challenging. In the last week, we have had sunny temperatures, followed by below freezing temperatures and a mini blizzard yesterday morning, that gave me the feeling summer would never come. It's also the time of year when everything in my closet needs to be thrown away. I have spent the last 6 months wearing the same sweaters, leggings, scarves and t-shirts and it's time to retire them until next winter. Only problem is, the constant weather changes make it nearly impossible to splurge on spring's hottest trends because it's still not appropriate to wear most of them.
It makes getting dressed in the morning such a challenge! Last week when everything was melting, the streets were a mess. It was as if the South Saskatchewan River had overflowed onto residential streets, and I'm surprised my little red car didn't get stuck in one of the hundreds of giant potholes buried beneath all that water. I didn't want to go outside. I don't have any shoes that I would risk ruining in puddles up to my knees.
Yesterday, there was a blizzard. Just when I thought I could finally retire my ugly black winter coat and leave the house in a nice blazer, I'm back to gross salt-stained boots, quilted jackets and fuzzy mittens.
I just want to wear the cute spring clothes I've been seeing in the magazines. I am so excited for my upcoming trip to Toronto to stop in at Holt Renfrew on Bloor Street, and grab an Alexander Wang tank top, and the coveted Twenty8Twelve butterfly dress that I have sweet dreams about. Hopefully by then, it may actually be nice enough to wear them without having to bundle up like an Eskimo.
