... of our spring outfit plans? I had such cute things this year. Had bought a few things to add to other things I already had, and was feeling confident about mixing and matching after two years with GYPO. I'm going to force myself to at least put on real pants a few times a week, but unfortunately, I don't think all those cute outfits will get worn. Who would see them? And if we segue right into summer break after the quarantine, I still won't have any reason to look cute on a regular basis. I realize it's trivial, but let's just take a moment to acknowledge the loss of our spring wardrobes. We hardly knew ye.  |

Awwww I’m sorry! I didn’t get that far but I can see that being an issue for others.

We have a bunch of clothes for our Jamaica trip that now probably isn't happening. I have no need for 4 bathing suits with accompanying coverups and rash guard shirts. The dresses, I will wear. Dh and DS, not sure where they would need linen pants but they have them.

Not gonna lie—I’m in my 3rd straight day of pajamas. Tomorrow, I’m going to get dressed.  |

I'm mourning the loss of my annual leave and vacation plans. Still wearing my work uniform, my lounging clothes at home, and jeans etc for running around helping the community as long as I can. I bought a lot of clothes last year, because for the first time in literally years, shops were stocking my autumn colours. I have enough to keep me covered for a long time, so I don't need more.

I have adorable Easter outfits for DGD and all her little baby play groups are cancelled, so no place to show them off.

I tossed the Talbots catalog in the recycling today barely glancing at it. I don't need new clothes if I'm not going anywhere.
I'm knitting the 2nd sleeve of a spring sweater. Even if this doesn't last too many weeks, it will be too warm to wear. I've had that yarn 2 years and was so proud of myself for finally knitting it in time to wear this spring. It's already getting warm here. Though if warm weather helps the situation, I'm all for it.

Yes. I’ve just been in rotating yoga pants and tees. Makes laundry easier, though!

I have a formal event that I go to annually. It is a Meet Up group. You go out to dinner at a nice restaurant and women wear formals and Tiaras and it is really fun. It is suppose to happen at the end of March. Now, I have no where to wear my fancy dress that I got at the Goodwill. I am bummed about that.  |

Oh yeah - I spent $125 on a swimsuit for Greece in June - yeah thinking that's not going to be worn somewhere other than my local pool where a $20 Target suit would have sufficed.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I haven't bought any new clothes for spring yet, thank goodness.
However, I do have a PSA for everyone wearing yoga pants and leggings: Be careful, THEY LIE!!
Seriously, I wore leggings most of the winter and when I went to pack for a trip in February, my real pants didn't fit. Total panic trying to find something to wear at the last minute.
I am dreading getting out the spring and summer clothes. I am praying that something fits. Of course, wanting to eat like a Hobbit while social distancing isn't going to help. *sigh*

Merge- You can always try them on and post pictures here! I'd love to see some cute new outfits. We're scheduled for another blizzard here tomorrow, so my spring clothes likely won't get unpacked till summer!

I bought lots of new pairs of shorts and tops for going to Florida last September. And then we had to cancel. I’ve lost about 20lbs since I bought them, but reckoned I could still wear them on our rearranged trip next month, maybe adding a belt to the shorts. And now we've had to cancel again. By the time I finally get to go, these clothes will almost certainly be falling off me, and I’ll need to buy all new stuff. (That is, if the comfort eating doesn’t get me first.)

Hopefully you all can schedule your trips after this pandemic and your spring clothes will still be new next year.
My wardrobe is mostly jeans and t-shirts. Many mornings I work in my jammies, and I get a standing ovation from my husband when I take a shower at noon. I think working from home for almost five years has really helped me with need to get out as often and see other people. So far, I am not going crazy, but the reports for how long this might last are not great. My husband is going more stir crazy, but still taking long bike rides up to the zoo (not an easy feat in this town).
And yes, people, put on your fancy duds and take a few pictures. Post them here!
ETA: My latest addition to my wardrobe was a t-shirt stating my love of the Oxford comma. Oh, how the mighty have fallen... (happily so).

I've lost a fair amount of weight and was waiting a few more weeks before buying new spring and summer clothes. I think it's going to be all yoga pants all the time for me.  |

I had just started shopping online for Summer clothes- I have swimwear more than taken care of and I bought some dresses because I swore this would be the summer of cute dresses. My best friend and I were supposed to go shopping for the rest if my summer wardrobe in April. |

However, I do have a PSA for everyone wearing yoga pants and leggings: Be careful, THEY LIE!!  No! Doggone it, now I may have to scrounge up a pair of pants with an actual zipper... My latest addition to my wardrobe was a t-shirt stating my love of the Oxford comma. I must know more about this wonderful t-shirt! What does it say? I am nearing the end of a weight-loss journey, so I held off buying clothes. I'm not sure whether my weight is completely stabilized or not - I'd be happy to shed that last 10-15 lbs., but I'll be satisfied enough if I just stay where I am. I definitely need some new clothes either way; I just don't know which size I'll need to buy. I guess I have a couple more months to figure it out before I take inventory of my summer clothes. |

I was just thinking about this the other day. No need to buy any clothes for awhile. We can wear “spring” clothes for quite awhile so hopefully we will be out and about by the time the weather warms up here in Minnesota. |
