Spring Forward

Today was gorgeous -- sunny skies, warm weather, everyone out and about -- the kind of day that hints at the loveliness to come with spring.

Also encouraging were many of the looks shown in the spring 2009 ready-to-wear collections. Ballet-slipper pinks, sheer sherberts, watercolor blues and greens and lots of whites and creams -- these hues seem so right at the moment, and the perfect complements to flowy skirts, off-the-shoulder tops and girly embellishments.

Here are a few of my faves found on style.com's slideshows.
