Ah, spring.
The bees begin to hum in our ears once more, the birds begin their incessant chirping at our windows. The flowers unfold and the trees awake sleepily from their winter slumber. Children wriggle in their desks, anxious to leave the classroom and begin playing games of tag in the grass warmed by the sun. Thoughts begin to creep in of the future; days spent lounging on the porch and drinking cool glasses of iced tea and lemonade. The mere thought of not having to heat up the car in the early mornings sounds like a dream come true. No longer is that ice scraper useful (at least until the first fall frost, but that's months away!) Break out those open-toed shoes, toss those boots to the back of your closet for another year! Daydreams about the blooming flowers in your garden have been non-stop.
All of this sounds like something straight from a book! Well, it is too good to be true. Unfortunately, Winter has a vengeance against this part of the United States: Pennsylvania. Mother Nature and Pennsylvania have never been able to agree on much in terms of weather and the seasons. It can be tiring going between heavy winter coats and flip flops on a day-by-day basis.
For those Pennsylvania residents looking for just the right ensemble to complete their versatile spring wardrobe, here are just a few ideas to get you started on this season's trends!
"April showers brings May flowers"
A true classic and a staple to have in any Pennsylvanian's closet! This water blasting suit covers almost every inch of skin on the human body, with the exception of the face and hands. Nevertheless, this outfit provides superb protection against the springtime downpours that will inevitably cause rivers and creeks to flood. The extra length in the legs was created for the purpose of surviving flood-like conditions, anyways! A must-have. (Boots not included)
Price: Priceless
Frosty the Snowman
Prepare yourself for the unavoidable April snow. One would think that the emergence of spring would mean good riddance to winter weather--HAH! This one-piece snowsuit is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, all with a unique vintage look. The weatherproof technology in this dashing suit has been designed with the harshest environments in mind, which includes your own Pennsylvanian backyard.
Price: $377
Flower Power
This one isn't just exclusive to Pennsylvania! To truly make a statement that screams "yay! It's spring! Break out the soil and the sunshine," dressing as a flower will help you achieve this. Not only is this desirable look for adults, children can join in on the fun with their own styles. Using real materials from your own garden can truly bring out the ~aesthetic~ in this outfit. This simply fantastic frock is ideal for those few warm days between March and May.
Price: $0-$100
Now, get out there and strut your stuff! After all, it's springtime!
