Spring Fever

I know that many of you are currently in the throws of spring. I see blog, Facebook and Twitter posts about how "it's sandal day!" or someone says they are "sipping lemonade and it's 80 degrees and sunny". I know those kinds of wonderful things are basic springtime activities in most places. In Boston, however, spring is reserved for two weeks of rain, followed by a glorious day of sun (usually a Monday), followed by two more weeks of rain, and so on. Now believe me, I didn't move to Boston for the balmy weather, but this cycle of washwashwash/ dry/ repeat can get a little depressing, particularly when all you want to do is put away the tights and sweaters already!

I feel like May should be officially time to give up tights, come 48 degree weather or high water. Or, you know, both. So you may notice how in this outfit I am wearing cute little sandals (spring!) along with a coat and scarf (spring.). I'm actually crazy about the scarf, you'll notice I wore it earlier this week...

Lest I get too Debbie Downer in this post, I will say that there are plenty of things I love about spring, and one of them is that all the birds get twitterpated. We keep a feeder outside our apartment (much to the entertainment and chagrin of our two cats) and I love watching the birds flitting about, cheeping, grabbing seeds, and discovering bits of twine for their nests. So when I saw this necklace on sale at Mint Julep's Pink List party last week, I had to pick it up. This way, even if my outfit was grey like the sky, at least I was wearing one little bright spot of color and springtime!
