NEW YORK – Summer is almost here. Vaccination rates are rising. You need something new to wear to face the world, and to reunite with friends and family and everyone else you missed seeing for more than a year. And about that something new–yes, it can sparkle. It can shine, it can glitter, it can gleam. If it gives you the confidence to venture out, even if it’s only to get coffee at the cafe on the corner, it’ll be worth every penny.
