Spring Is In The Air

Spring is in the air and it is time to put away the winter sweaters and bring out the summer tops. Same goes for the long pants; it is almost time for shorts.

It's a good excuse to clean out the closets anyway. Bag up those clothes I'm never going to wear again and get them donated to a thrift store or women's shelter. Sort through the keepers, winter and summer, store the cold weather clothes.

Not much left on the bed. A couple pair of shorts, four or five tops. Maybe it's time to go shopping.

Looking in the ladies section of the local super center, I see an outpouring or orange. Is this because of The Gates in Central Park earlier this year? The entire department is a sea of saffron.

Orange is not my color, nor is lime green or sunshine yellow. Give me neutrals, give me earth tones, and give me blacks and grays any time of the year.

I don't know, maybe I need to start shopping online for clothes. I've resisted doing that until now. But, it looks like to find something more suited for an older woman, yet not elderly in appearance, I'm going to have to hit the web.

I've seen the ads for Chico's. Maybe I should try there first, I think. Type it in, see several pretty things. I also see the prices. Way out of my budget. I head to Google and type in women's clothing. There are so many returns I don't know where to start.

But, start I will, probably with the advertisers here on this blog site. Maybe I'll find what I'm looking for, maybe I won't. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to them.

Let's see, exactly what am I looking for? Earth tones, comfortable, not overly trendy. Something that will last more than a few washes in the washing machine before it starts unraveling. Reasonable prices, which means less than twenty bucks.

I don't know, maybe I'm just cheap. Yet, to me, to pay more than that for something just to kick around the house and garden in, is rather unrealistic. So tomorrow, once more I'll start looking. Looking for anything other than saffron orange.
