Lane Bryant got hit by the Easter Basket explosion as well.
The last time I was in there (which was the first week of Feb) everything was the most hideous shade of green. Pants and Jackets and...ugh. And these horrid floral patio furniture prints.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Most people will not look good in the corals, teals, and lime greens that are this year's must-haves.
Teal is back? Oh, cool! I actually look good in teal. Or is it a bad teal?

Punishingly Intricate
What colors do people wear in the tropics, by choice?
When I was in Hawaii in December I couldn't find anybody selling shorts at the mall (except in the super beachy tourist stores...and those shorts were too tiny for me). The Old Navy and the Gap, for example, were selling the same things they were selling in Baltimore for the fall. You know--sweaters. I asked a Gap employee if they had any shorts in stock and he looked at me like he'd never heard of such a thing. I said, "You know SHORTS like you wear when it's 80 degrees out...like it is here right now!"
It was baffling and annoying. The best my friend who lives there and I could guess was that they were selling to foreign tourists. But I would have thought they have Old Navies in Japan and Australia or whatever. Maybe not though. Or maybe it's much more expensive there?
eta -- I know that doesn't have anything to do with seasonal colors...it just has been bugging me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And neutrals -- let me not forget the colours I don't wear -- linens and cotton weaves in whites and beiges.

"People who ARE beige shouldn't WEAR beige". My lifelong mantra when clothes shopping.

I wear beige from time to time, but usually for the effect. Not something I just throw on with a pair of jeans.

Our wings are not tired.
What colors do people wear in the tropics, by choice? Is there a winter season and a summer season?
Lots of white. And colors that make you feel silly and out of place when you travel. Not that it is really the tropics here, but we do wear some wonderful colors.
I found myself out and about yesterday in white cutoff jeans, white sandals and a sweatshirt. It was cold.

Teal is back? Oh, cool! I actually look good in teal. Or is it a bad teal?
It's mostly been a bad teal, much like the lime has been a bad lime. More turquoise than teal, I suppose.
YTealMV, and you may luck into some good teal.

Teal teal teal. The word has lost all meaning.
By the way, Sierra Trading Post has a sale on some very gothy boots. Makes me wish I could buy shoes by mail. (My feet are apparently oddly shaped enough that some lasts just won't fit. Pointy shoes are especially risky.)
