I am anxiously awaiting to wear Spring dresses. It was -22 last night and -18 this morning and the same for the next few days. Still in boots and winter coats but really nice to see what is coming for Spring and order a new piece before they are all sold out.
It’s been quite cold in Georgia, too! Lows in the high 20s. BRRRRR! Come on Spring!
I can hardly wait to wear sandals. Snow go away!
I stepped into snow bank up to my knees — my husband pulled me out. I’m ordering a dark blue linen dress and hoping for Spring. The peplum dress looks cute too. We are in single digits in southern Maine, but that’s nowhere near as cold as you are. Stay safe.
So nice to look at Spring dresses while we’re trying to clear more than 3 feet of snow in Montreal!! I love the denim dress, it’s so practical and can be casual or chic. The eyelet midi dress is also lovely. I always prefer navy dresses instead of black. I find it’s less severe and soooo elegant! Thank you Beth for all these lovely suggestions.
In weather like this I sometimes wonder why I live where winters are so cold. I guess it would have something to do with my children and grandchildren. How about you?
I have a linen dress from last year I am anxious to wear.
I too as the years pass prefer blue or navy over black. This Spring they say navy and the nautical look is going to be everywhere. Keep warm.
Lovely clothes, very stylish
