You don’t need your passport to get some color, all you need to do is go shopping! I’m telling you ladies, this season it’s all about bold hues that are sure to bring out the sun goddess in you! Think bright yellow’s, vibrant greens and gorgeous turquoise blue’s inspired by mother nature herself.
But how, one might ask, can this trend be pulled off without looking like a walking ad for Crayola Color Wonders? The key is to mix and match with neutral colors. For example, you can pair a poppy orange top with a white, beige or khaki bottom. Lime greens, crimson reds and cerulean blues will look great with a darker denim wash. And for those of you who don’t want to commit to just one - color that is - break it up with big bold patterns. Right now oversized black and white prints are a favorite of the runways. What I love about this look is that the colors are perfect for work, but the pattern makes it a great transitional piece from business to play!
And for the ladies who aren’t afraid to take the color plunge, than by all means do! But a word of advice- less is always more! Try a boldly brightened day dress, or a courageous colored tunic that you can accessorize with a neutral belt or earrings, and avoid piecing several colors together. The key to this look is as simple as simplicity itself. Pick one hue to focus on, or let the patterns do the talking, and wear your colors loud and proud!
But this look isn’t only for cocktail hour! That’s right brides, if you are looking for a new way to brighten your big day, try this trend on all of your maids. Trust me they’ll thank you for dressing them in these vivacious colors that they can- scouts honor-actually wear again! Think of adding vintage inspired jackets, thick belts and oversized earrings to instantly go from bridesmaid to street chic maiden!(Check back next week for pics and how-to’s on this look!)
