Do you feel that? The first breeze of spring is just around the corner. Not just the occasional unseasonably beautiful day that greets us like a surprise on that rare, late winter morning. I’m talking about real, crisp, sunshine-y spring. Spring …when wearing boots and jackets seems about as appropriate as wearing shorts to the Oscars. Spring …when the color yellow and floral dresses are like visual vitamin C and just as necessary to our health. Enjoy our spring preview… a teaser of what’s to come. Florals and patterns with ladylike touches of lace are what this season is all about. Get ready to bloom.
