Personal pet peeve and major fashion faux pas: jumping the gun with spring clothes. I am just as grateful as everyone for the incredible weather we got over the weekend—and yes, it was hard to not throw on a bathing suit and lie out on my deck, or pull out all my shorts and tank tops from storage. But news flash: it is still February. So where do we draw the line during this awkward season transition? When is it acceptable to wear flip-flops?
My roommates and I discussed this thoroughly just the other day. My friend Evelyn said that she saw someone trip on her flip-flop, and right after thinking ‘Oh, I hate when that happens,’ she thought, ‘Wait! I’m wearing a winter coat and she’s wearing flip-flops!’
Verdict: if there is any remnant of snow on the ground—and I know it’s melting, but it’s still there!—no one should be wearing shorts or flip-flops. We are all just helping the cause of what is inevitable anyway: within the week, almost every single one of will be sick (and, unfortunately, back in winter gear, as the forecast says the temperatures are headed back down).

I'm definitely with you on this one... I decided yesterday that it was nice enough outside that I didn't need a jacket. Not the best decision.
ReplyDeleteI hate when people jump the gun and wear spring clothes when it is clearly still winter. Yes, we had a couple days of nice weather but not warm enough to be wearing spring dresses and open-toed shoes! I agree with you that people need to slow down with whipping out those bright colored clothes and realize that you still need a winter coat. Spring will come soon! I think that an acceptable time to start possibility wearing your spring clothes and open toed shoes is right after Spring Break. When your nice and tan and is actually April!
