Spring-ing!

Gotta love a beautiful Spring afternoon that entails  good company, good food and wine all the way till 9 pm. A glass of wine can make my day just as much as a new pair of shoes. Only difference is the durability of each, I guess.
 When it comes to spring wardrobe, it's safe to say that a shearling vest might not be the answer but since the weather has been kinda tricky lately, I've had to improvise on ways to keep myself warm. After a few weather surprises on my way to work, I had to unpack my winter coats again just until things get settled. I guess so much for being too positive! In any case, I am obsessing over pastels this season and you will soon discover what I have been accumulating for you all these past months. As I've said so many times before, when I like something... I reaaaalllyyyy like it, so its safe to say that my closet has definitely transitioned into a different group of shades. Give me a pink pastel blouse and I'll throw you a party... figuratively and maybe even literally. What are you obsessing over?

Enlightenment







Every once in a while, I get a desperate urge to take apart my closet in search of items I have not used in a while. I am sure everyone of you have found that one vest, dress, or skirt that you bought on a whim yet never found the right time to wear it. If you are like me, you could have also hung several things on top of it, due to the lack of space/hangers, and let it endure a slow and miserable death. Or, went on an even better shopping spree that put that one item on the back burner. I tell you this because this is exactly the case with the maxi skirt I am sporting up top. When I bought it, I mightily convinced my mother it was the perfect purchase. I had ten different ways to wear it in my mind already so it would be money well spent. Little did I know that 2 years would go by before I would find the right time to wear it. I am not proud of it, I am aware what $25 to spend means to others but I guess it is one of those things you need an enlighting moment to wake you up.
As I move to the next step in my  life, I have made it a priority, no, better yet, a rule, to make sure this never happens again. I will theorize on ways to do so, considering my continued lack of space, this will be a a bit more complicated than exprected. But as Tony Robbins once said so insightfully, "if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten," and that is a pile of unused clothes out of season.  So... challenged accepted!
