With the weather warming up over the past few days, I've really been thinking a lot about my spring wardrobe. I find it terribly difficult to dress appropriately in the spring and feel that this is the time of year when many people are seasonally-challenged when it comes to dressing themselves. I know that is mean, but it is the absolute truth.
It really is tough, and I know I'm not the only one who has this plight. For instance, the high yesterday was supposed to be 81. 81 in early March!! Its still winter, so do you continue wearing winter colors? Do you bust out a dress and skip the tights? Do you wear hose? (my work environment is not formal enough for hose, so that isn't a consideration) Do you wear peep toes or stick with your classic pumps? And then what if it gets cold again later in the week? Can I pull my boots back out, or do I have to surrender them?

Good topic. I'm interested to read some comments here b/c I struggle with this. I'm reluctant to wear open toed shoes before mid-April. And I think I can wear my boots until the end of March. I base the changing of the wardrobe around Easter/Masters I guess. And yes, you do heart commas.
It is a really difficult time of year. I wish there was a handbook that could provide some firm rules for everyone to follow. However, I think it also varies by region - for instance, what is appropriate in South Florida in April might not fly in New York.
I agree with the handbook idea! I struggle with my outfit every morning! I say not sandals until April but the boots are a tough call.
I was never one to follow rules, so I'm the last one you should be asking (not that you were asking me, per se, but you know what I mean). However, I do know that if it was 81 degrees, I wouldn't be confused at all. I'd be out in the sunshine enjoying the weather. Unlike the weather we're experiencing here today (a high of 29).
I think the only requirement to pull out the sandals is a warm day and a pedicure. And if the next day calls for boots slaps those bad boys back on!
The official first day of Spring is March 22nd - after which time it is "acceptable" to wear open-toed shoes. Easter is also an offical date for wearing white, seersucker, etc. - up until Labor Day - so I interpret that as also the day to bring out that spring wardrobe. However - I agree with Equis Buffy - sometimes you just have to roll with the weather ...
