I went on a run. Outside. On January
31st in Decatur, Illinois. What is this? I checked the weather for
today - the high is 64 degrees!If you know how the Midwest is, you know that this is not anywhere near normal.
I mean, I'm not complaining, it just blows my mind. The Illinois winter
this year has been really strange. It didn't snow when I was still here
in December and when I came back early January, I was expecting to see
mounds and mounds of snow and be freezing my butt off. Quite the
contrary! I was able to go outside with just a pea coat and a scarf.
Usually I'm wearing layer upon layer in the winter! It seems like
winter has been strange everywhere, though, judging from the 2 weeks of
sunshine I experienced when I went home to Oregon in December. Yeah, you read that right - sunshine. A.k.a. no rain for 2 weeks. What? In Oregon? In Winter? Yes.
Global
warming aside, this balmier weather has been greatly appreciated. I'm
not really a hot-weather girl and I actually enjoy the cold and snow
(thumbs up for boot weather!), but these breezy days and mild
temperatures have been a treat. And I love love love cold weather fall
and winter fashion, but I'm starting to get excited for warmer days and
fun, spring clothes. I'm currently obsessing over swingy, pleated
skirs, and I always love a pretty floral no matter what time of year.
And though the holidays are over, I think sequins are necessary
year-round :) My wardrobe is mostly made up of neutrals, so I'm going
to try and incorporate more color with my neutrals this Spring,
especially the bright variety! I just bought a pleated, knee-length,
hot pink skirt from The Limited that I will post about later :) But for
now, here is a little inspiration for Spring! Bring on the shorter
hemlines, bare legs, open-toed heeled sandals, and pretty colors!
