Here in the 209 the signs of spring are all around with the blooming flowers, budding greenery, chirping birds and flitting butterflies. It’s a time of renewal, which makes it an ideal season to add in some new vitality to a wardrobe that’s awakening from a winter slumber.

NATURAL WONDERS
Prints inspired by the beauty of nature are ideal for springtime. A silky camisole with a black background makes for a perfect backdrop to play up the floral motif. Paired with black crops and a frayed denim jacket gives a sexy edge to the softness of the top.
SUNSHINE SHADES
Some of the trendiest colors this season draw inspiration from the sun shining overhead. A striped tie-front blouse is made all the more vibrant by using colors seen during a sunset, like marigold, fiesta orange, and lilac.
DELICATE DELIGHTS
The new life unfurling and blooming in spring has a softness and delicacy to it that can be represented in fashion. This mini sundress expresses a simple elegance with small floral details and easy flowing ruffles.
YELLOW FEVER
Whether it’s bright, pale or golden, or in stripes like this shirt, yellow is the color of spring. “Yellow in all its various shades, is a very popular color for spring this year,” said Helen and Louise owner Jackie Goodwin.
WHERE TO FIND IT
The clothing, accessories, and jewelry are all from Helen and Louise in downtown Merced. Opened in 1944, the women’s boutique is one of the oldest in the nation. The store has been at its current location at 1804 Canal Street for 19 years and is owned by Jackie Goodwin, who travels routinely to fashion shows to make sure the store has the latest styles.
