Desert Expanse

Living in the desert all of these years, I have certainly lost that initial appreciation for the awe-inspiring expanse that the Arizona desert offers. Instead I find myself pining for deep shades of forest green, sparkling ocean blues, and those brooding fall maroons, oranges, and yellows–none of which I find as I look out into a panorama of ruddy browns, and splashes of almost greens. Yet in some paradoxical dreamworld, that is the world of fashion, I find these desert colors to be beautiful and luxurious.
