Dreaming of Spring

Hello-Hello, and happy new week to you.

In an effort to cease my relentless whining occasional mention (cough-cough) of the ever-so-nasty winter weather, I thought a look at some spring styles might perk up the day. We begin with J. Crew.

LL Bean

Despite the fact Bean offers more subdued styles, they always have things with a little more pizzazz come summer. No doubt they will have fresher looks in a few weeks. In the meantime, let’s go graze at Lands’ End, shall we?

From the League’s website:

Don your khakis, pearls and plaid at a perfectly preppy evening in support of the animals….costumes or creative dress is always encouraged but never required.

G’bye until next time!
