Neat SHEET: Pretty local luxuries to weather April showers

Once upon a time, The Neat Sheet was just that – a neat sheet of pretty things to buy and wear in the Portland area. We’ve decided to go back to our roots and introduce a new Neat Sheet feature that rounds up our favorite local luxuries each month. We can all use a bit of cheer to help weather April showers, so we’ve tracked down peppy rainy-day gear and bright pops of color to cut through the gray. Unless you want to embrace the gray, and then we recommend snatching up a gorgeous twilight colored satchel.
