Spring Has Sprung

I have just entered that particular time of the year where I am getting really fed up with winter. Some call it cabin fever. I call it February doldrums.

This is where living in a virtual world can help. I can style up myself, feel the warm breeze on my legs, skip away from the dark shadows of winter, and welcome spring whenever I want. And what I want is color, beauty, flowers, and excellently done work!

Here are some looks for spring I think everyone will like:
