I am not in the habit of buying spring clothes in January at all, prefering a lot of choices.

Today I found some capris I loved the width of, and a denim blazer.

Sizes were already gone!  I guess they're ultra early shoppers!

How early do you start looking?

@ECBG  - I buy clothes out of season all the time.  If I see something I like, I purchase it.  

If you like it, you may want to purchase before your size is gone.

Temps in Chicago will be sub zero for the next week.  Spring clothing is the furthest thing from my mind regardless of the price!

Some people take vacations to warm places and cruises this time of year, so that could explain why things like that are selling out. Vendors put out "resort wear" this time of year.

The timing sounds like items from the Holiday/Cruise Collections. Those traveling in winter may need things to take to the tropical destinations. There was a designated buying market for these items for stores who had that clientele.

True.  I hadn't considered that.  Thanks.

Here in Arizona it's short season almost all year except for a few cold days.

@ECBG I received a LAND's END catalog today & it is filled with bathing suits and tankinis, BRRRR  We are under a sever winter storm watch with snow and ice through Tuesday, NOT!

I was in my favorite Marshalls today, so much Winter merchandise was on clearance. I didn't buy anything, I tried on a red Vince Camuto sequined top just for fun. It was $19.99

The bell at the bottom of the sleeve was just far too wide.

I bought a Homeworx pink peony candle and a plain wooden shamrock shaped plate/tray whatever you would call it. Made in India, I fell in love with it and it was only $9.99.

I loved that they already had a small section of St Patrick's Day items.

When I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue, the first day of summer, the winter coats would be out!  I used to sweat just walking thru the department.  

Bathing suits would be out by New Years Eve.  If you needed a bathing suit after March, you were out of luck.
