Lapponia Sweater

When the days are short and the weather is gloomy, I always turn to bright colors to keep my spirits uplifted. The deep turquoise reminds me of lake water in the summer when the trees mirror from its surface. The yellow gives me hope that the sun will return. The pink whispers softly of the happiness it sends all around.
