Went to the mall this morning. It's one of those malls that's slipped a bit. Anyways, I was surprised by a lot of pastel blue, which I was looking for way way back there at the beginning of spring. I don't know if this is evidence of fashion trickling down faster or if it says something about the tone being set for this winter or if it's a reflection of the fact that our summer-weather comes late... that it comes, in fact, in the fall.
