Where Do You Winter?: Resort 2010

Where do you Winter? Well, if you're like me, it's typically the same place you Spring, Summer and Fall. But you don't have to spend your Winter in the Caribbean (although you wouldn't have to twist my arm to get me to do so) to appreciate all that Resort collections have to offer. Designers and some retail boutiques (i.e. Banana Republic, J. Crew) offer Resort Collections that arrive a couple months after the Fall collections and a couple months before Spring. This tradition dates back when those in the colder climates would migrate to warmer spots during the Winter months (must be nice). And just where were people supposed to find a bathing suit or clothes to wear on a yacht in December?: hence Resort collections (okay that's enough of the history lesson). Even though it's Monday and I'm not even close to a yacht vacation who doesn't love a little pick me up in the dead of Winter?

Why should the Spring and Summer clothes get to have all the fun? Layer these looks with Fall essentials like opaque tights and heavy cardigans or rev up the jet and send me a postcard.
