I just have to rant about pockets for a minute.
Fall through Spring I often end up in a sweatshirt or some other kind of pocketed outer garment just so I have somewhere to throw my phone and keys. I am always conscious of whether or not I will have good pocket potential when picking out an outfit.

In summer, I just get used to lugging my purse around with me because I will most likely not have pockets. But I don't lug my purse around the house or carry it around the office with me. Yeah, you can leave your phone on my desk but sometimes you need it.
But right now. Right now it's actually a little bit too warm for a sweatshirt, but if you step inside a building it might be freezing and you'll need something. This is a dilemma for everyone: I might wish I'd brought a jacket.
But when you also have to take pockets into consideration, an even more difficult decision is before you.
Spring is the one time of year I start actively choosing pocketless sweaters and sweatshirts, because I can't let pockets determine how cold I am.
Example: I've been helping my brother and his wife with house projects. Half way through I'll be sweating profusely, but still unwilling to remove my sweatshirt because then I won't have a pocket to keep nails or whatnot in, so I am beholden to the sweatshirt because pockets.
Yeah, yeah, that's what tool belts are for. But buying a tool belt for a few weeks of house projects is silly. And it doesn't solve the problem for the other 95% of life.
Bottom line, I want more pockets. Clothing lines are starting to pick up on this and I'm finding more and more options for pocketful dresses and skirts, but we could still use more pocket options.
Rant completed. Thank you for reading.
