“Dear Fashion Dictator!” Or, “Fashion Tips”

Dear Fashion Dictator,

Just when I was getting used to this cold and bitter winter “you” have been telling me Spring has Sprung! It’s all over department stores, websites, and magazine spreads that read “Spring Fashion 2011″. Stylish photos of patterned skirts with no tights, light weight tank tops, and bright colors. Don’t you know?? I can look out my Northeastern window and clearly see that spring has not sprung, bounced, hippety hopped, or done any other verb.

It’s freaking cold out, snowy, and will be that way for another 2-3 months! I can appreciate the optimism, but it’s only been winter for one month, yes mam or sir, one month!  Stop throwing bright colors, spring clothes I can’t wear for some time now, and people frolicking in green grass around in my face!

The only bright color I’ve seen outside lately is yellow snow. And I’m pretty sure that’s not a sign that spring has sprung. Am I being dramatic? ABSOLUTELY! So while others prepare for warmer weather and spring fashion looks, I’ll bundle up and hunker down for the snowstorm on the way!

Yours Truly,

A Slightly Bitter & Cold
