The calendar might say that spring is still a couple of weeks off, but Mother Nature disagrees. We've been experiencing the best spring-like winter weather in the Pacific Northwest most of us can remember. So it's time to put away our warmest winter wear and break out our lighter-weight clothes, always keeping plenty of wraps, cardigans and scarves handy for layering on during the unpredictable sunny-cloudy-cool-warm-rainy-clear springtime.
If you're like me, the ol' closet has a few empty spots, so a shopping trip is in order. And even if you've got your basics covered, it's always nice to freshen your look with a splash of something new—whether it's a piece of trendy jewelry, a jaunty hat or scarf, or a new bag. I've scouted out some of the latest trend pieces for you; now all you have to do is scoop them up at Sojourn or Betty Lou's Downtown Emporium before they're gone!
