Spring Wardrobe Clean Out and Holes to Fill

We just got back from skiing this week and the minute my suitcase hit the floor I went into a full closet Spring cleaning frenzy.  Heavy cashmere: boxed. Winter silks: laying flat and stowed.  Boots except for tan booties: stashed! Heavy coats: storage binned. I also made a stack of things from last spring/summer to donate that I knew wouldn't see the light of day this Spring. I took out my "Spring" containers that I had in the attic and rushed most of it to the cleaners to be pressed, pilled, cleaned, what-have-you. I am officially ready to bring the Spring wardrobe full force. Even if I freeze, I am willing to suffer just to have all that winter gear cleared. Happy Spring! 

Here are a few holes that I found in my wardrobe once I assessed what I had going for Spring: p.s. J Crew is having a 25% sale on your purchase of $150.
