Spring cleaning

I recently read a Well+Good NYC (NYC-based fitness-oriented newsletter) article that said ... Boycott spring cleaning! The weather is so nice again - why waste it indoors cleaning?

... Unfortunately, I read it too late, so I've got lots of spring cleaning to do.

Being a little lazy (and hey, busy! Work is tiring!), I hired a cleaner to come last Saturday. Ahhh. What a relief.

What was supposed to be in the cards for last weekend was also a big CLOSET switch-a-roo... but I didn't get quite as far as I needed to.

Yep, I've waited until mid May to switch out my winter clothes for my summer clothes. Talk about procrastination. But I would blame it more on the weather... The chilly weather lasted longer than usual this year.

I've been doing a good job each season - clearing out the old/dated clothes and bringing in fresh "investment" pieces that I love.

I did a huge shoe and boot haul over this past winter for both my casual and work shoes, and I'm finding that I need to do the same with my summer shoes. Out with the ugly brown elastic wedges that I thought were so cool last year (I don't even know. They are not.)... And I especially need some wedding guest sandal heels!

Love this and white trend for summer. I think it could be borderline frumpy, though, if you're not careful with the style.

I'll be back to muse on other spring (almost over!) and summer trends I'm looking forward to wearing...
