It's all about embracing bright pops of bold colors this spring season...
Color... do you embrace it or shy away from it? If you are all about it, love it, are drawn to it, then this spring is your style season.
Bold, bright colors... especially grass greens, juicy oranges, sunny yellows and bubblegum pinks... are showing up in the fashion world for spring 2022.
Over the last decade plus that I’ve spent styling clients I've found they generally want to look on-trend without being too uber-trendy.
Keeping that in mind, I wanted to share with you some bright pieces to inject a shot of color into your style, without overwhelming or overdoing it.
Beautiful colors inspire...
I’ve added blouses that work for any body type or age. Style tip... knowing how to tuck and roll (along with getting the proportions right) is key. I also found classic dresses in citrus-y hues and a pair of cool easy joggers in a sky blue.
