Step Into Spring

Today was the first day of the year I went to work without a big giant coat. And I'm a cold, cold person (& not just in my little black heart ;-). I start out cold during the morning commute & my office building's temp never seems in sync with me personally. Also, the big conference room where my department has our Monday staff meeting always seems drafty. But I risked it, I didn't wear my giant black trenchcoat or my heavy suede swing coat (my default winter coats). And I survived!

What I'm wearing:
Black cotton full-skirted, boat-necked dress, ModCloth
Black & pink stripey cardigan with lace trim, I.N.C. Concepts
Black tights, Calvin Klein
Pink & black peep-toe, ankle-strap pumps, Payless Shoe Source
Pink & old gold necklace, vintage
Burgundy pearl drop earrings, Designs by Victoria on Etsy (didn't get a closeup, but they're a lot like these)

Last weekend, I went out & about in the daytime wearing short-sleeved tops but no cardigan/jacket. On both days. I'd say spring has sprung here in Northern California. Doesn't mean the rain is over, probably too soon for that. But the seasons do seem to be changing.

Has spring come to your part of the world (at least those in the northern hemisphere)? Are you putting away the coats yet?
