SPRING TREND ALERT!!

I couldn't be more happy to see that the upcoming trend as we head into Spring is STRIPES! I {heart} stripes in a major. way. Stripes aren't just for the preppy Ralph Lauren "I'm going sailing" type. Spring 2011 shows that color is back bigger than ever so don't be afraid to make a loud statement with bold, bright stripes. Stripes, yes, can be hard to wear depending on your body type but if you read Monday's "Shop your Shape" post, you should be able to find a striped piece that flatters your figure.

Some frugal finds that you can bet I'll get my hands on:
