Southwest Vindication

A little while back, I posted "Trend forecast—Indian summer alert!", wherein I predicted that a new wave of Navajo blanket/Southwest summer home drapes/Northern Exposure wardrobe patterns and designs were all set to blast onto the scene. 

Well, check out this sampler of new Forever21 frocks and accessories. (I mean, is there really a more accurate barometer of ubiquitous trends—for better or worse?):

Boom. I rest my case.

Watch for my next summer forecast—The invisible river: Hipsters and aqua-socks.
