It's, uh, Spring...?

I hate the cold. And by cold I mean Melbourne cold, which I realise that it really isn't that cold on the cold scale but it's just as miserable and annoying nonetheless. The start of September is supposed to mean the start of Spring but alas, none of the trees have blossomed, nor have any flowers bloomed and my allergies have not yet made an appearance.

I'm not going to lie. I am one of the laziest people you will ever meet (ask my boyfriend, he'll vouch for me). I hate getting dressed. I mean, I love clothes and fashion, but at the moment I'm totally over layering and thinking about how many tops I should be wearing thinking about every little miserable element of the weather - the chill, the wind, the cloud cover...

Don't get me wrong - I love coats and my leather jacket is one of my favourite things that I own and sometimes, adding more and more things to your outfit can be fun. But I long for the sun when I can slip on no more than 3 garments at once and be out the door. When you wake up every morning to gloom it starts to get a little uninspiring. That's what seasons are for - to break things up so that by the time you get sick of one thing it all changes and you can start afresh.

Mostly, I'm annoyed because I want to break out these shoes I got from ModCloth a couple of weeks ago. I've been dying to wear them and got excited about Spring only to find that it's starting a little later this year...


I love these shoes so much I got a similar Chelsea Crew pair in black from Lulu's. I've just ordered them and can't wait until they get here! Hopefully it'll be warm enough to wear them by then but being a lifelong Melbourne resident, I know better than to expect that the weather will be predictable.
