In for spring: flouncy wrap dresses and blouses, bold patterns, polka dots, and stripes. And if you pass over H&M and Zara thinking that you’re too old for these brands that often target young consumers, you’re missing out. They both have looks we love at prices that make sense for trends. Here are a few we’ve got in our cart.
