Style Inspired : Portland in the Spring

Spring - the whole bird's chirping and flowers blooming thing - is a little different here in Portland. You can walk around and marvel at the blossoming beauty of it all, but it's from under an umbrella. Wet jeans could kill my joy in almost anything.

But, May has a way of giving us a few beautiful days where ....

... we fall in love again with what we have here.

... we banish the gray and bring the color indoors.

... we wear cloths that are (still) seasonally inappropriate, just because the sun is out.

...  we remember to appreciate the city we live in - and the writer's, artists, and designers -we share it with.

... we try to soak up every moment.

(p.s.) I loved this post from another Portland girl, Andrea (of Hula Seventy), about the way we try to hold on to everyday experiences. I think it's a spring thing.
