Color. It was all over the runways for spring, and we’ll continue to see it this fall. Transition hues such as turquoise, coral, and lavender

and a trendy, crinkled look for your daughter make you two quite the
pair. Big, beautiful bags hold all your shopping spree needs. Feet stay comfy and chic in croc loafers or ballet flats.
