The Winter Doldrums

Definition: A serious case of the blahs. See also “meh.”

Causes: February.

Treatment: Snatch up local designer Amy Fink’s spring/summer collection, easy, breezy pieces characterized by clean lines, bold stripes, and lush fabrics.

Administration: Invest in embroidered linen shorts in snappy navy and white or tan and white combos. Dresses include a flowy, full-skirted blue number and a structured, cream-colored cotton and silk chiffon frock with a boat neck and pencil skirt.

Prevention: Wrap Fink’s sleek white linen trench over her crisp tuxedo-front tank to protect yourself from relapses.

Now you’re the picture of good health.

Available starting Monday at Union B, 2127 Union Street, between Fillmore and Webster Streets (415-345-1476). To see styles, go to amyfink.net.
