Have you been sensing the onset of the chilly season to come as the sun begins to set earlier and earlier? Do you envision the Autumn leaves falling and the freezing snowmen being built in your front yard? That is the time of year when we find ourselves yearning for colorful things, for Spring to arrive. We are used to associating flowers and floral patterns with Springtime, and lucky for us this year the colorful pattern is going to be blooming throughout the chilly winter. Keep in mind, the winter florals are different than the florals we see in Spring. They are rich and deep in both color and texture. So, don’t think you can grab last seasons cotton dress pair it with tights and get away with it. This isn’t a trend to go over-board with. It’s probably wise to work one piece into your winter wardrobe, so you don’t look like an overgrown garden!
