Somehow, we’ve been thrust right into the middle of spring. And that makes me depressed.

I’m not really ready for spring. And by not ready, I mean I don’t have a thing to wear. I didn’t have a thing to wear last year, and I suffered the whole time because of it. I can’t afford to drop any money on clothes.

Every spring, I try to decide what “style” I’m going to be sporting for the next three months, because the weather will be the same from now until October–hot.  I’m going with the same style I was trying to attempt last year, but fizzled on for lack of cash. Beach chic.

And by beach chic, I mean tank tops, cotton skirts, and strappy sandles. So, I’m on the look out for layer tanks that don’t look like crap. Costco has some, but I’ve been informed by my fashion plate sister that they look like crap after just one wash. So those are out, since they’ll get washed way way way more than once.

PacSun has some, as does Target, and I’m sure that Wal-Mart does too. Which means at the end of the month, I’m probably going to drop $75 on tank tops, and $25 on fabric.

What? Fabric? Yeah, that’s right. I’m just going to sew my own skirt because I can make a skirt for $12 that would cost me $30 in the store. They’re all just basic a-lines anyway. Nothing too fancy going on over here. I’ve got fabric for two skirts now, and I just need fabric for three more. And I’m good. Because I have a few from last year that still look good.

But until then, I’ll have to suffer in my jeans. I don’t wear shorts to work, which limits what I can wear, and I’ve only got two pairs of capris.

Does anyone else have to plan out what they’re going to wear for the season a head of time? I just don’t have the cash for rash decisions while shopping, even though I wish I did.
