Stripe into Spring

A few days ago the weather reached an uncharacteristic high of 60 degrees, and, no joke, I saw a woman at the playground in a tank top!  Being a New Englander, I'm always anxious to put away my winter clothing and start wearing color.  You won't see me in a tank top in February, however, I have already started my Spring shopping.  Right now I'm obsessed with stripes, and anything navy or coral/tangerine, which I think are "safe" colors to start wearing in February and March.  

You will find stripes from children's fashion, maternity, men's wear, bathing suits, handbags, shoes, and even in jewelry.  I fell in love with my daughter's new striped dress I got for her spring/summer wardrobe, that I was determined to find one just like it.
