April showers can bring May flowers – but they also bring confusion in fashion. One day it will be warm enough to break out the birch sticks. the next it’s sixty degrees and cloudy. The factor behind the current state of the pandemic – will summer 2021 happen or what? – and deciding which seasonal updates are worth getting even more of a scratch. Our strategy: Invest in some pick-me-ups that you can enjoy now and in the (post-pandemic) future.
Neck-party mainstays (the more the merrier) and a fancy tank are a fail-safe, FaceTime-enabled above-the-waist formula that you can count on for the foreseeable future.
