Punxsutawney Phil got it wrong

Mom and I hit TJ Maxx yesterday for a little retail therapy — bargain-style.

Theme for the day? Color!

Sheer flowy scarves in bright pastels, knit tops in vivid jewel tones and bikinis in shades so cheerful I almost look forward to swimsuit season. Almost.

And then there were these racks of glorious handbags in all the colors of the rainbow.

Punxsutawney Phil might have jinxed us with 6 more weeks of dreary winter weather, but nothing says we can’t wave the radiant colors of spring in his smug little face.
