Winter has a way of trying to bring folks down, what with the piling layers of warm clothing on our bodies, the short dark days and the cold weather. That's why god invented spring fashion lines! Tidbits whetting our appetite with the promise of sunny warm weather where we can wear less and show off our bodies. Nevermind that we don't look like the supermodels showing us the fashions, we all dream that it's the clothes that help them look that good. That's the lure of fashion shows and advertising and Hollywood gossip magazines.
I'm right there with everyone else. Almost 2 months into the shopping hiatus and I'm beginning to drool at the spring fashion items in Bottega Veneta's windows and ads. Yummy. And in my colors!
Two recent items to note on the hiatus. One, I had to stitch up my glove liners for skiing. Even if glove liners can't be considered a fashion accessory, they are clothing. Much as I would have loved a new pair without holes, I repaired the old ones. I might add that while skiing is one way to beat the winter blues, it also is a HUGE competition of how to look on those slopes (and I don't mean how you look skiing - it's all about the label on your skiwear). Let me just say that if you can't ski well, you're not showing off those bright beautiful outfits.
Two, I mixed a long-sleeved blouse and a summer dress with winter boots and had a new winter outfit yesterday! Simple, right? But not something I would have done had I not been on hiatus. Just the newness of wearing clothes in a different way made me feel good, so there must be something about the newness of a look as opposed the newness of an item that you buy that gives that emotional boost.
Must remember this during the next 10.25 months.
