January, what to do with you?
I hate January not just because of the nasty weather, but also because it's a limbo month. It's too early to start buying for spring since you've still got at least another month of the chills, but way, way too late for the oranges, olives, and burgundies of November. Have you ever noticed that all the magazines have big "Get Organized!" features in January? It's because we need to clear out the gloom! I spend most of January staring out the window, dreaming of summer, fun colors, sundresses, and cute swimsuit cover-ups, yet consistently find myself lounging around the house in leggings and an old man sweater.
That's why I'm declaring war on January by wearing fuchsia.
Yes, every time I wake up to the sound of raindrops on my roof or dismal skies, I'm going to pull my fuchsia trench coat out of the closet and stomp through puddles in style. Here's my favorite:
From Versace, $2,740. At Saks.
I would also wear this gorgeous neon blue packable trench from Burberry, $1,495, even if it isn't fuchsia. Buy it at Burberry.com.
