discovery: that this winter has been brutally long. recently it has been lulling us into a false sense of springtime then coldly reminding us that its not over yet.
i’in the meantime, in between time, this is an outfit i’m looking forward to workin’ very soon – it reminds me of spring:
2010: patent pumps – joe fresh/2011: orange belt + bracelet – jacob/2012: navy cropped trouser – zara, brown leather lady-purse – locale

so back in december i made a number of style resolutions. i thought now that we are 4 months into the year maybe i should revisit these resolutions. you know, to see if i’ve managed to keep them or if i fell off the resolution wagon (and, in truth, to remind myself what that heck i resolved to do this year).
i had resolved to:
so how am i doing so far?
i have really embraced adding color into my wardrobe throughout the winter and now that its spring, i that much more more excited about the bold color options that will be available to me.
ahhh, i haven’t been so good with the 1-in-1 out rule. i’ve bought a few things (ok several items) in the past two months but they are spring/summer items and my winter wardrobe is still in my closet. i will have to undergo a spring purging once i transition over my wardrobe.
the other resolutions i have been better at. except for the the “boredom” one which isn’t really an issue for me as it’s not boredom that is currently driving my urge to splurge but the warm temps in March! sun is shining and i’m doin’ a happy dance all the way to mall *heavy sigh*
oh well, resolutions sometimes are a work in progress. i will continue to work on mine this year. oh, i may even get my exercise on for 2012 too.

i’d work this: is great casual friday look (switching out the sky-high heels for something a little more cube-dwelling appropriate)

rediscovery: i was putting away my wool trousers this weekend and came across this banana republic dress that has been a favourite of mine over the past two spring/summer seasons.
i think it has one more season left so i’m gonna work it while i still can:
2010: dress – banana republic, leopard clutch – aldo/2011: pumps – 9west/2012: blazer – h&m
talk about bang for my buck. i bought this dress off the sales rack at br for maybe $40 and it turned out to be a fav of mine that got a lot of wear.
