Have we mentioned that here, in the NW summer has yet to arrive... it's been just plain yucky. Dismal, rainy.. more rainy. ugh. I have noticed though, that people start compensating for the lack of sunniness with their daily wardrobe color choices... the other day a friend of mine, who used to be a Melange staff member, came over to my house and we were both wearing the exact same shade of electric yellow... which IS weird that either of us have access to the particular neon (we are both VERY pale, enough said) but I don't think it's one-bit weird that we both just 'happened' to be wearing it on that day, because I think that was the day it also rained 2". gloomy weather + pop of color = ok day. Here are some of my favorite brights in the store right now...
Michael Stars slub cotton button down in tulip

True Grit cotton voile ruffle skirt
