I do believe in helping Lady Spring.When I was in college I did this by wearing flip-flops starting in February. But this did not seem to have dramatic results.
It still never really got warm until April or May.

Still, every year around this time, my armpits start feeling like they have "wedgies" from all the clothes I'm wearing. I face irresistible urges to just wear less. And whenever I succumb, I have these fleeting fancies that Lady Spring is smiling down on my purple toes and will sweetly bring out the sun to smooth over my goosebumps.
Here are some pictures of the techniques I've used this year
...maybe you will be moved to remove your sweater too!

It's beautiful! I was doubtful at first, and then I saw it and understood. Of course you can make it a work of art. I look forward to seeing more!
This reminds me of Calvin's ritual snowdance to appease the snow gods and bring more snow, except its flipped frontside back. "Oh Lady Spring, the warm sun bring!" Also, I'm in total accord re 'the armpit wedgies'--a travesty of the 'layers' method of personal warmth-making...and I'm sick of shoes, too. Feet need breathing room! But snow is miraculous. Thank God the weather changes from day to day and season to season. Otherwise we'd never even notice.
