We got to 73 with sunshine yesterday...here in the mid-west. It's currently raining though! I'm a homeschool mom, and I was classifying "social" as wedding or church. "Business" to me, would be what I wear to a conference (writing is my particular cup of tea)...I'd probably wear the same type of attire to a baby shower. Rebecca, totally makes sense (in the west coast context!) that you'd be wearing a jacket either wool or cotton. I used to have to wear a jacket over my t-shirt and shorts at the beach it was so chilly! Thanks for clarifying! Oh yes, I remember the wetness of the west coast!

I am by no means finished with this project. Love your handbag colors! You’re not too late, Wendy. I am by no means finished with this project.

It's hard to be specific about spring clothing choices, because spring here (as it does in your neck of the woods, Rebecca) from possible snowstorms to bordering on hot. Casual/leisure: jeans + tees + blazers ... blazers change from winter weight(!), jeans may be substituted with denim/cord skirt, tees may be substituted with light weight sweaters or even a blouse! Slightly dressier: substitute dress pants or washable suede skirt Fancy: long-sleeved wrap dress (alone no blazer required), black beaded cami & shrug with black stovepipe pants (useful for puddle jumping and worn with goretex ankle boots) Outerwear: long black coat (with button in lining) Handbags: coral red, metallic silver or teal I put the handbags in because (a) the only time I really leave the house without one is when I'm on my way to the gym (b) they tend to be my statement piece or punch of colour.

Just trying to finish getting the garden in. But I should be able to take a little time out and go shopping. By that time of year, Awana is over for the year and, theoretically anyway, things slow down a little. I bought an umbrella recently. We'll see if I end up using it. It's sort of grass green, with a paisley-like print; you may have seen it, I got it at the Eddie Outlet. So in the back of my mind, whatever coat I get needs to look good with green. Pink would work. Oh, and here it actually rains until the fourth of July. So Memorial Day is a great time to buy a rain coat. And, of course, I keep my coats for a long time. Perhaps that is the conflict, too.

Memorial Day is the big spring clearance if I remember correctly from last year. By then you won't need a rain jacket any more, but it will be cheap!!

A spring coat always seemed sorta frivolous but now I'm seeing the usefulness of one, like a trench in a nice color. Being practical I like hoods though, for rain, and I'm not seeing hooded trenches. So I wear my hooded nylon mid-weight Eddie Bauer jacket. Completely tacky w/most of my outfits but I tend not to care in the rain!

I don't think my trouble with spring is the same as yours, although in theory my approach is the same (trade wool for cotton). Generally speaking, spring colors are not bad for me. The fickle weather no doubt contributes. Spring in my mind is 5o degrees and raining. So I'm always cold or wet. And my coat is aubergine, it doesn't look great if it happens to be a pretty sunny day. My friend has a pink coat for me to try, though. :) Probably my biggest trouble with spring is just not wanting to spend any real money. Clothing for moderate temperatures doesn't seem to clearance as cheap as that for the more extreme temperatures. There may be more to it, but one thing's for sure - I'm committed to improving my spring wardrobe this year. Your other comment contains such good questions I am going to answer them in another post!
