Impatiently Waiting

February 25, 2013

It’s officially become that time of year: the days are getting noticeably longer, the skies are becoming clearer and spring/summer merchandise is starting to trickle into stores. What I seem to forget every year around this time, though, is that it’s actually still cold. I was admittedly freezing in this outfit, and probably should have opted for layers instead. After a few months of winter, though, I’m always a little too eager to pull some of my spring pieces out of hibernation. I hope I’m not the only impractical one here… do you do the same?
 
p.s. Lots of fun things happening on the blog this week. Stay tuned!

    I am SO in love with this top, Jen! In both colors! I was just at our h&m the other day and I definitely didn’t see it, but I’m majorly hoping it lands in our store as I absolutely LOVE it! Adds such a romantic, feminine flair! Also loving your jacket here! The colors are gorg! And you are not alone – I’m desperate for spring to arrive and so want to ditch boots & winter wear, but it’s still cold & we still have lots of snow! Sigh!

    Love the bright spring colors in your jacket mixed with all the black! Very chic! I also want to take out all my warm weather clothing, and then I walk outside and it’s still freezing!

    Lovely jacket! I always forget how cold it actually is until I step outside as well!

    Jen, you have no idea how ready I am for spring. I just dream about walking outside without having to get bundled up, and strolls along the lakeshore with a dress. Hopefully soon enough!
    Love this look. The jacket gives the outfit a nice pop of colour. And that shirt is amazing! I have a similar one from H&M in emerald, but I don’t think it’s quite the same. xo

    Such a cute outfit! I really love the H&M blouse and I’m hoping I can still find it in both colors. 🙂

    I feel your pain. Winter is a miserable time for me, seeing as most of my outfits get swallowed underneath puffy coats and hats and ugly winter boots. We are blessed with below zero temperatures in my little hometown. I’m anxiously awaiting spring when I can prance around without a coat.

    eagerly, anxiously awaiting.

    You look adorable, by the way. 🙂

    Love,
    A.

    I love this Jen! Although Spring feels a little far away (it’s going to be snowing all week for us Torontonians!), this is a nice tease. I’m starting to fall in love with this H&M blouse – the draping is beautiful and you look super chic. Love you with long light curls 🙂

    Ah, you have this blouse in black too! I have yet to track it down but it’s on my to-do this weekend. I do the exact same thing as you and ditch the layers the moment I see sunshine at this time of year, which of course isn’t practical. You look gorgeous though, and your jacket is the perfect vibrant piece to bring a little Spring into this outfit.
