Welcome back!!! That was me, talking to me. I was in New York most of last week, so I was too busy being a fabulous jetsetting lawyer to blog. I came home to spring weather (about damn time), but here’s one of the outfits I wore last week when I was trying to will spring into being with my wardrobe.

In case you hadn’t heard, bell sleeves are #sohotrightnow. These particular bell sleeves remind me of accordions. I’m not sure accordions are all the rage, but wouldn’t it be great if they were? 2017: the year we all dip our sleeves in our soup and Drake comes out with a polka album. You heard it here first.

It’s that time of the year when, in my mind, I’ve decided it should be spring. But my Weather Kitty app (it’s where kittens tell you the forecast…don’t judge, it’s amazing and sometimes it’s even accurate) only gives me bad news.

The worst part isn’t that I’m cold – I’ve sort of gotten used to that. It’s that I suddenly hate all the gray and burgundy and flannel in my closet. All those purchasing decisions from September through February suddenly seem like the deranged impulses of a psycho who lives in a cave in Alaska.

Sigh. Anywho, the best I could come up with was mixing lots of blush with my black. I only have a few cozy pastels, so Weather Kitty better have some good news for me soon.
