Think Spring!

Spring has finally sprung!  In case you haven't heard , this spring and summer's hottest colors are cool !  

Yes, this season we will be seeing more subdued and relaxed tones, with a nod to pastels, and a bit of retro whimsy thrown in as well. 

 The Pantone Color Institute released its spring 2015 color collection: En Plein Air, featuring the top 10 women's colors in fashion this season:  


                                                                                                                                       image courtesy of www.pantone.com

These colors invoke a sense of relaxation and the escape from reality, and the color combinations are endless!  What I really enjoy about this palette is that there are two mainstay colors- Classic Blue and Glacier Gray, which most people can find in their closet already.  



 You can easily start with these basic colors and use them as a backdrop for the other colors in the palette.  Instead of buying all new clothes to stay on trend, simply use accessories in the palette colors to layer onto your basic pieces.  

So pull out that light gray top and those denim jeans, and dress them up with these accessories in amazing colors:
