cheap(er) chic: lovely in lilac

It is one of those days that I wish I didn't have a window in my office--as the morning started out with gray ominous clouds that are now just dumping wet snow. The warm weather this past weekend had me hopeful that the lilac bushes in the yard would soon sprout leaves and bloom. However, the current weather outlook for such an occurrence is bleak. So, I will just pine for lovely lilac clothing instead.
