Now that spring is finally here (for a few minutes, before summer begins), I have been working with clients to add those choice pieces that will bring the clothes they already have into the season. I’m loving all the brights I see and I’m crazy about the global and eclectic pieces on offer. Normally not a huge Loft fan, I was walking past a store recently and spotted some super-cute necklaces on serious mark-down. Instead of getting yet another “basic” (a t-shirt or plain dress), how about getting a few of these instead?
