How I got through winter

Well, it's March, and outside it's snowing.
Better than raining...
I feel a transition coming.
The days are longer, and here in Northern New England, we look for signs of spring in odd places. More animal footprints in the snow means more animal activity.
I just washed my warmest winter hat, and am looking forward to bringing winter scarves to the dry cleaners because I feel done wearing those.
I am wearing thinner sweaters and silk or cotton rather than wool scarves around my neck.
I've changed to a shorter pea coat...
There is mud at the bottom of the driveway.
Our oldest cat actually wants to go outside.



Meanwhile, I am grateful to two pieces of clothing I purchased at the beginning of winter to get me through the season.

The skirt is by a local designer and was purchased at Revolution.  I love the big deconstructed zipper and the little angled pocket, which came in handy to stuff a few tissues. It had just enough primary colors, thin yellow and red dotted lines to brighten up even the darkest coldest days.  The pants are from The Pink Alligator and correspond to the Katherine Hepburn look I was trying to achieve. I could never be this glamorous, but it doesn't hurt to try...


I stumbled across this funky person's blog while searching for these photos. That might also help me transition to spring!
