Goodbye Winter

Despite the fact that snow is expected to hit the area tomorrow night I feel that winter has just about raised the white flag of surrender to spring.  I've grown to love the black down coat I bought myself in January and I'm slightly reluctant to stow it away.   After a brutally snowy winter it will be a nice change to have warm breezes coming in, I suppose, but I rather like layering up.  Today I broke out a lighter jacket with more two layers of clothing underneath and was quite satisfied with the result. 

I dislike having to dress myself during the springtime.  I know how to dress for fall, winter, and summer, but my spring wardrobe has always given me trouble.  I think it's because females are encouraged to wear skirts and lots of colorful and/or floral prints, whereas I'm terrible at wearing skirts and can't stop myself from buying lots of black clothing.  But more on that in later post.  For now I will be trying to wean myself of the black down coat and onto other pieces that effectively address the weather and my mood.
