Sunshine, flowers and pedicures–OH MY! Can you even stand it?! Spring is here, and I for one cannot be happier. Even if winter didn’t do its best to destroy our family’s sanity by way of runny noses, doctor visits & sleepless nights. Um, it did. But something about the cheeriness of the season just makes me feel like I can take a deep breath after the bundled-up freezingness that is a good old-fashioned Kansas Winter. Oh, and not to mention the clothes. Goodness, the clothes alone have me longing for bare shoulders & flowy tops.
Good thing Wichita has several locally-owned boutiques that are filled to the brim with Spring Styles just waiting for you to come claim them as your own.
