Rapunzel's and the Summer Buy


Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend the Intermezzo show at the Javits Center in New York City. Unfortunately the shows were a little slower than normal - but the bright colors and new fashions were abundent.

Hot pinks, corals and yellow were popular at every booth. The maxi dress is making a big statement this summer and so is the harem pant. Rapunzel has passed on the harem trend for now - but you never know when I might jump on that bandwagon. Afterall - Rapunzel's Closet is located in a resort town - what a great beach pant.

Racerback tank tops were as popular for summer as they were for spring which of course leads me to want to give our sales staff a really good education on suggesting the appropriate undergarments to wear with these tanks - convertible bras ladies - they are the way of the fashion future!

Destroyed denim is still going strong for summer and the boyfriend jean is a great hot weather alternative to a full length jean.

Long, feather weight "boyfriend" cardigans are a summer staple for the cold air conditioning and what fashionable girl doesn't have a Love Quotes Scarf in every color to fight off those chilly summer evenings.

I just looked at the weather report and it's going to be below 30 degrees up North. I know I'm looking forward to summer's vibrant colors and easy-to-wear fashions. We're eight weeks away from the start of spring so summer is practically right around the corner.
