"Stripes and Flowers," a San Francisco Treat!

Welcome to Spring, ladies. Or at least the closest thing that we'll have to Spring if we are living in the City by the Bay. Our recent warm weather has been quite the tease and with it, our pretty 'Friscettes have been wearing less layers and being more bare.

You'd pretty much have to be blind and live in Oakdale to not see that stripes and flowers are back. Big time.  Now, the trick to this crazy mixture of patterns is to pick one prominent, louder pattern and choose a quieter pattern which serves as a neutral to mix. Make sense? Here are some lovely examples of how one can mix and match.
