My Favorites for Spring So Far!

As I got ready for the day the other morning, I found myself running around from one end of the condo to the other - feeding my post-multiple-teeth-extraction-surgery geriatric pug his special softened breakfast, throwing bagels in the toaster for the kiddos making sure to toast them for just the right amount of time (heaven forbid they're too burnt or not burnt enough), inserting deli meat between two slices of dry bread and shoving them into lunchboxes with fruit (to meet the obligatory mom-approved healthy requirement) and Oreo cookies (to meet the "Tommy's mom puts dessert in HIS lunchbox" requirement).

Meanwhile, I'm strategizing in my head what time we need to leave so we're not late for school, and thereby what time I need to start yelling at the kids to get their shoes on. As you can imagine, this did not leave much time to think about what to wear for work. So I quickly checked the weather - rain and 50. Yuck. I mindlessly threw on a pair of jeans, a sweater, and a pair of over-the-knee boots.

"When, oh when will I be able to wear all my cute Spring clothes?" I lamented in my head as my 6-year-old stared at his tongue in the mirror rather than brushing his teeth like I asked him to. Not today apparently.

So, since I can't wear them yet, I'll do the next best thing...share them with you! So we can all get excited for the floral print, pastels, pumps, and off-the-shoulder tops! Here's a roundup of some of my favorites I've stocked up on so far:

This cute off-the-shoulder top is on sale for $30! I love the ties on the bottom of the sleeves. Gives it such fun flair. This distressed white denim skirt will be great for the summertime too! This would be perfect for a weekend out with the girls with some springy espadrilles!

Okay, I normally do not shop at Abercrombie & Fitch. In fact, whenever I pass by the store, I walk more quickly so as not to have to inhale the overbearing perfume that permeates through the very walls of the mall. But some higher power drew me in -- this shirt! It fits me so perfectly, is light and airy, and comes in a black floral and also some striped patterns and solid colors. Perfect for work when it gets warmer, or perfect for right now with a cardigan over it! Oh, and it's on sale for $20! Whaaaat?! (Yeah, I got it in black floral too.)

This double-ring belt is perfect for the spring too. I'd been stuck in the "black or brown belt" dilemma for such a long time, I never realized there's this whole other world of belt colors out there! The beige color goes with everything, particularly all the spring pastels.

• Can we please talk about these wooden chunky heels? I'd been looking for a pair of white heels, but I really didn't feel like killing my feet again, and having to avoid cracks in the sidewalk. The heels are super-easy to walk in, and the wood gives them such personality. Unfortunately I can't find the white in stock anymore (boo), but they do come in a gorgeous beige nubuck that would be great for spring too! Best part about them? They're on sale! Woohoo!

Well that's it for now! I'm sure as the weather turns, I'll be tempted to buy even more spring clothes. Must..resist...spending...all...the money...

Happy spring shopping!
