Are Pink and Brown the new Pink and Green?

My partners and I at Three Chickadees did a boutique and craft fair today in Fairfield, Connecticut. I couldn't help but notice the number of people choosing items that were pink and brown. I almost wonder if pink and brown are the new pink and green in preppy fashion? That combination is everywhere - - it must surely be a close second.

Speaking of pink and brown, this season GAP Kids is offering their Warmest Coat for girls in a great brown color and a darker pink. While I would love to buy Miss E the brown version, she lives in a pink world, so brown would never be acceptable. From her pink world, she would say, "Mommy, brown is for boys." GAP also has a super cute sweater, scarf and hat in the most adorable argyle-ish pattern. Isn't this a cute take on the traditional argyle? I just love the heart! This sweater doesn't photograph well - -it is so much cuter in person! Well, can't wait for the GAP markdowns on this one, LOL!
