Do you see it? We’re still in love with our cozy sweaters, but there’s that first trickle of this spring 2007 coming to life. The first fashion trend I’m liking is SAFARI (obviously a spill over of fall’s leopard). Creams, golds and khaki.

You know what I love about this round of ‘cargo’ associated with safari? Like on this jacket – the pockets aren’t over kill. And you can already see the past season’s skinny pants infiltrating into a slimmer cargo pant. The ones I’m loving are Banana Republic’s Ryan slim cargo (sorry no picture). 

Hooded jacket, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti; Prada suede shorts. Okay, maybe the Prada shorts wont be in my budget, but I’m confident there will be a pair of suede shorts in my life this spring. Pair this outfit with some big tortoise shell sunglasses and you’re set.
