When it suddenly becomes spring

(then you think this)

Yes, spring is making a great attempt to chase away winter. Let's conveniently forget that at the end of this week it will be pouring liters of water from the sky again. I'm grabbing every ray of sunshine that flashes my way. But there are those things that you've carefully tucked away all winter and now suddenly they are a THING. What? Well, this...

That your legs exist

And you've completely forgotten to keep track of them all winter. Oh, sure, you’ve run a razor over them, but you’ve momentarily forgotten to pamper them with body lotion. Or I have. So your legs are a mess, a white mess, mind you.

And those feet

Yes, they need to get to the pedicure ASAP. A little trim here, a forgotten nail polish there, they need filing and polishing. There's no way you can show this to the daylight.

The sunny glasses

Where the heck did you leave those sunglasses? You didn't really need them during the dreary days, but now you can't see a thing without them. The frown appears on your forehead when you sit in the sun, and that gives you wrinkles. You also completely forget to chain them to your handbag for the first few weeks.

“Those little fats don’t match at all with summer clothes”

Sock it up

Well socks, no socks, cold ankles, warm ankles... Fortunately, we have Rens for some good advice.

Think in layers

And I don't mean it in a philosophical kind of way, but literally. You are usually dressed too warmly, and that gives you a heap of hot flashes. When you're on your bike with a scarf and jacket, you have to undress with one arm while on the go. And at the same time, make sure you keep that handlebar steady. Or it looks sunny, but then that wind rushes right through that little thing.

Your summer body

Is gone, disappeared like snow in the sun (and then the other way around). You've indulged in cheese fondue and couch lounging, and now it all sticks around
that middle. And those little fats don’t match at all with all those summer clothes.
The horror.
In black.

Have I really trudged through winter so sadly? Black pants, black jacket, black shoes, black bag. I need to shop, but I REALLY need to shop. So I can't, because I'm on

a financial detox But if I start prepping now, I’ll surely be in shape when summer really arrives..
