Spring Fever!

I've come to a conclusion - I am a weather-whiner!! Remember when I moved to Arizona and I cried because I missed seasons SO bad? I also thought I would die of heat the first fall when the rest of the country was cooling down and we were still into the 100s - until November. So now I'm back in a climate with seasons and, I pretty much hate it. I've decided that seasons are overrated. Friday it was in the 60s and and I was so HAPPY, but today it is cold and snowing again and I kind of want to cry. I pledge that if/when we move back to AZ (please,please,please) that I will appreciate it for what it is!! I have had spring fever since December 26th and it's getting worse every day.

What's a girl to do? How about shop for some fun springy clothes. Here's a few things that have made it onto my wish list recently:
Old Navy
Old Navy

White House Black Market


Anthropologie

Boden
Aaahhh... I feel better already. Clearly my budget cannot handle all of this at once but a few things *might* already be on their way to me!
Come on spring!!

You crack me up woman! Interesting how you fell in love with the heat and I... well, didn't. After being in Vegas for 3 years, I LOVE my Utah seasons! With that said, I am also ready for spring!

I totally tried that same blue dress on at Target this weekend! Loved it, but the sleeves were too short. Waaaaaaaaaaaa...

I can totally see you in that Boden dress--too cute!

Hang in there; Spring is coming!!

Monique - I too am long, long, longing for Spring! And big time drooling for the Anthro and WHBM cardigans - love them both! You have a very cute list going!

One thing that helped me recently was buying two new pairs of boots(scored on end of season prices!) they are the only things keeping me from crying over the mounds of snow still on the ground here!

Don't forget that fabulous favorite season of mine - FALL! Colors are fabulous and homegrown pumpkins and mums are undeniably spectacular. And who can hate spring with all its newness and pastel beauty. And those much-milder-than suffocating summers. You're just tired of winter--not disenchanted with seasons. Just think...It's only two more months until May!

Haha... I love the weather here because you don't get SEVERE anything here...except maybe wind. But the grass is always greener when we are sick of whatever you have. Believe me, I know what you are feeling!! But perhaps it is a good excuse for getting those cute clothes!

I have a rather severe case of spring fever this year, as we've had a wintery winter. Ahhhh, clothes. I need to get through my lovely spring maternity wardrobe, and maybe next spring I can wear cuteness again. Maybe. Love the blue skirt with the fun colorful blooms.

I'm such a dork...I didn't even know it snowed where you are now! :) I'm getting tired of snow too. You know, it's funny, as a kid, I loved more extreme weather. Maybe it was because I grew up in CA and so extreme was exciting. As an adult, I'm not quite so fond of it. I am very much looking forward to spring myself!!

lovely, you have good taste.

I am usually fine with winter, but I have spring fever this year too.

Can't wait to see you pics of you in your new duds!

I am hating winter this year too! I swear, if I have to be in Alabama at least it can be warm!!!! Anyway, really cute clothes. I was actually looking at that skirt in green at ON the other day while searching for an easter outfit for Brooks. No luck yet! (any ideas ?!?!?!)

You have a good taste girl. You'd look hot on the dress.
