Spring Into Fashion




Pantone

  I used to be one of the least fashion-aware people you could meet. Then I started working at a mall, where I continually walk past storefronts showcasing the newest fashion colors and trends. And if the visual manifestations aren't enough, the mall's website and marketing department are always giving me information that I'm expected to read. I can't help but soak some of the details in.

Not that I have a great need of those details, because I don't usually think a lot about my wardrobe. At home, where I have no need to look fashionable, I have a supply of comfortable shirts and jeans. When I go to work I wear black pants and a mall-supplied white shirt.

However, occasionally I'm glad I paid attention to what clothes and colors are current. This weekend I need lightweight shirts to wear to several events. I put off thinking about it until the last minute, so there wasn't time to shop. I went through the boxes of off-season clothes in my closet, and was pleasantly pleased to find out there were several that came close to this season's fashionable shades. They'll do just fine.
