April showers bring May flowers, so the saying goes. But in Colorado, and many other parts of the country, all May has given us is more snow. Banish the bad-weather blahs with a bright new bag! Bold colored accessories lend a psychological boost: the bolder the color, the better the mood. The neon trend has been around for a few seasons now, and the Juicy Couture Baby Tote Bag in Passion Pink keeps you on-trend, while organizing the gear you need. Coordinate with saturated-color accessories and intensely hued baby gear. The pops of color should put a smile on your face, and a little more “Spring” in your step.
