Hot Pink, I Think

I went through a toile phase. I wanted to do preppy grosgrain trimmed curtains in lavender toile, but it’s not easy to find a pattern that isn’t navy, black, crimson, or the once-in-a-while mocha. I finally did come across a lilac shade, but the scene was all men with fishing poles when I really had my heart set on ladies wearing hats and riding those spindly bicycles with the one giant wheel.

I was able to forgive toile for overlooking purple when I saw this bag at fredflare.com. I think hot pink is a laudable substitute for purple.

This defines classy prepster with a splash of color.
