I find this time of year particular challenging when it comes to styling an outfit.  The abrupt change in weather from winter to spring always seems to be a shock to the closet.  Things seem especially difficult at the beginning of spring, as temperatures still tend to dip low enough to make a denim jacket as your outerwear seem utterly ridiculous.  Exhibit A.  I wore something similar to this, but with a black crop and black boots to a concert on Saturday and nearly froze.  It’s pretty much impossible to look cool whilst shivering and teeth chattering.  This, coupled with the lasting effects of winter (i.e. that comfort food and those m&m’s I didn’t exactly say no to and the drastically faded leg colour) have left me completely uninspired.  I simply cannot put on any more all black and giant sweaters.  Give me pastels and LWD’s!  I can’t help but feel that until the weather decides to go full spring, I won’t be able to dress enthusiastically.  Mind you, this could also be coming from a place of frustration with the fact that I only have access to half of my closet while our flooded apartment repairs continue on.  The good news?  They’re estimating completion by the end of this week.  Huzzah!  There’s light at the end of the tunnel.
