I'm over Winter......and much more

It is April 1 as I type this, and it is snowing outside. I have barely written anything in 2018 because I have been patiently waiting to show of my spring styles. Yet, Spring evades me. I am so over Winter! I am so over all of my winter clothes! And there are a few other trends I am over (in no particular order)...
- Mom Jeans. Not high waisted pants in general, but specifically the Mom Jeans. Girls - we figured out about 20 years ago that those aren't the most flattering style. Why must you ignore the wisdom of your foremothers?!
- Shoulder cutouts. I was never really in on this one, but I'm over it. How many of these can you have?
- Bell Sleeves (and huge rufflely sleeves). I love how they look - but have you tried to actually do anything while wearing them? Type? Work? Cook?
- High-waisted pants with a huge bow?? Not for short people.
- Cropped wide leg pants. Seriously?
- Shirts with a tied knot that drapes right above the crotch. No thank you.
- V-Neck choker shirts. I feel like it is literally choking me.

***Just because I say i'm over it, doesn't mean you have to be :) You do you!

It is so frustrating to go shopping and not see anything you like. I have found that you have to be patient. Wait until you see something that you really love, or that just looks 'like you'. Don't feel pressure to buy something new just because it is a new season or there is a new trend.

Now for some things I love....
- Almost anything from Draper James.  Reese, you just let me know when you want to open a store in St. Louis, MO. I'm your girl.  The dress below is one of my favorites and she is so ridiculously adorable.
- Sneakers - so fun and comfortable.
- Jeans - (always) I tried a new brand called Just Black - similar to the ones shown below and I love them.
- Spring Colors! I'm a sucker for navy/white stripes, polka dots, and gingham prints. And these are my favorite mix of Spring colors: yellow, kelly green, navy, coral and mint.  I use navy, white. or a light grey as my neutral with these colors.
- The Jenna floral toe high-heel from Jessica Simpson was perfect for my Easter ensemble.
- Fun Sunglasses can add a little whimsy.
- Sundresses! My Easter dress was from Vera Fishbaugh. It fit great and when I went to look at the care instructions, it said "I will be fun. I will be confident. I will be carefree." Made me love the dress even more!

Here are my people in their SPRING, Easter best!  Come on Spring!!!
