Everything’s Coming Up Roses … Spring Is Right Around The Corner Isn’t It

All of this 50 degree weather in Boston in the middle of February has me thinking that spring is right around the corner.  I know — when March dumps 20″ of snow on us I’m going to be in for a big surprise — but in the meantime, the mood is definitely “getting ready for spring”.  In that spirit, here are some of the looks for spring that I would buy if money were no object.  I love that statement — if money were no object — since it makes whatever follows almost completely irrelevant.  Since, after all, money is almost always the object.  But it is hard in the world of fashion to have a whole lot of fun without the suspension of disbelief where price tags are concerned, so I like to run with the fantasy anyway.  These are decidedly not my “favorite looks for spring” of these-were-the-most-beautiful-things-to-come-down-the-runway variety, but more of the hell-yeah-I-could-see-wearing-that(-if-money-were-no-object)-and-I-haven’t-already-talked-about-it-in-another-post variety — ok, adding also the caveat not-if-I-were-realistic-about-my-figure, but it is truly impossible to have any fun with fashion if one is realistic about one’s figure, so I will gladly toss that right out the window.
