Dealing with snow and bitter cold? Let’s all think spring.
When I am sick and tired of all the heavy wool pants, tweed jackets and big sweaters, I start dreaming of lightweight fabrics, fun little tops, and the possibility that some day soon my arms will be uncovered outdoors without searing pain. That day is today.
This year, they say green is the “it” color for spring. In shades from light to bright, green is showing up everywhere.
While this dress from Rena Lange is lovely, the money tree in my back yard would have to bloom before I could afford the $4,000 pricetag. So, I am looking at a few green items a bit more reasonably priced that stand a better chance of making it into my closet this spring.
For some reason I am coveting these L.L.Bean Casco Bay Boat Slides in “Green Tea.” Not only are they green, but they play off another trend for spring – nautical. I would pair these with white jeans, and an offbeat “twinset” consisting of this baby cable cardigan (also from Bean), and a lighter green pima camisole.

So, while I look out my window at snow, slush and gray skies, I can get online and start ordering myself up some spring green clothes!

[...] LEVIS Outlet Spring Tops February 8th, 2007 by Dexie I recently went to the Levis Outlet in search of a pair of white jeans but I didn’t find any at the store. Instead I picked up a pair of Low Boot Cut 545 which cost me $24.99. While there I also scoured their Clearance Rack and found 2 tops from Most for $4.99 each. Just like Polly from Shopping Tips Online, I am so sick of this frigid cold weather that’s why when I saw those 2 tops I grabbed them really fast to inspire me for the Spring/Summer weather. As it turns out, green might be the “it” color this spring so I’m glad I picked that green crinkled camisole instead of the tan one. [...]

I LOVE all shades of green right now! Isn’t it funny how these things come back around? They are saying that even green-gold or an acid green is going to be in. Okay, anything but NEON, right? Ha ha. Thanks for the comments, everyone!
