This is the year that I am going to fill some gaping holes in my wardrobe! Seriously, some of these have been NEEDS for years, and I have no good reason for why they are unfulfilled.
1. Athleisure: You guys! I am IN LOVE WITH LEGGINGS. I have spent my whole life not wearing leggings and I think it was because I did not buy the RIGHT ONES. And (for me) the RIGHT ONES are Lululemon Wunder Train high rise (NO POCKETS). I want to like Align leggings but I need just a wee bit more structure. ANYWAY. I want to explore the world of athleisure more aggressively and find more delights like leggings and Hotty Hot shorts. (I know I love Lulu dance studio pants, and I am thinking I might need Align joggers, too). Maybe I ca upgrade my sports bras? Find more T-shirts like the boxy Athleta one I love? Am I ready to stick a toe into the TANK TOP waters? Question for you: do you actually exercise in your athletic wear? I do run in my Lulu shorts, and I would run in fancy sports bras, but I usually run in Target sweat pants and old T-shirts with a Northface fleece literally older than 4 kids zipped over the top, and I don't see this changing...
2. Spring shoes: Right now I go straight from one million pairs of Uggs (okay... 9) to one million pairs of Birkenstocks. I have Rothy's-- do I need more? Some Madewell flats? More sling backs or kitten heels? THERE IS SO MUCH TO EXPLORE.
3. Shirts I can wear with jeans that are not t-shirts or sweatshirts. This is a HUGE hole in my wardrobe, especially for spring (and honestly has been for YEARS). I would love to be able to go out for dinner with Ben and have something to wear that's cute and easy to throw on. No more excuses! (for any of these categories, honestly).

It's so funny because for YEARS, like we are talking at least fifteen years, all I wore were Wunder Unders. I loved them so much! I wore them to practice and to teach. But in the past couple of years I have really gotten into the Aligns. They are so soft. Mostly I wear them to exercise or to walk the dog, I don't really wear leggings as an outfit anymore. I used to - when I taught I would have a legging outfit and then have a pretty sweater overtop so it didn't look as athleisure as it was.
