Let's Get Graphic

Byzanine print merino cardi, JCrew

As Winter slowly recedes (verrry slowy in our case...) we all start to dream about putting away our demure winter duds - of packing up our woolly grey skirts and our argyle sweaters in the cedar chest and wishing them adieu while tossing a few mothballs in. As we picture shutting the chest and consigning our long johns and tuques to darkness for at least a few months, we dream of breaking free from the structure and severity of our cold-air wear. Indeed, we practically swoon at the idea of adorning ourselves in an array of lively, splashy, unstructured swirls and spots and stripes of brilliant colour. These bold, graphic patterns seem to call out to us like a herald of new life and light. This seems particularly true this season - designers, shops and magazines alike are featuring a panorama of intense, graphic prints sure to make you forget all about your subtle and structured winter wardrobe for awhile. So...let's get graphic!
