With the recent and quick turn of warm and sunny weather almost overnight, I went from wearing boots, jackets, sweaters and scarves in dark colors to needing sandals, tank tops and pretty dresses for our fortunate spring weather. I plan on eating al fresco and walking in the sunshine instead of driving. Wearing my winter wardrobe in my much-loved black, dark navy and charcoal grey just doesn’t feel right in this sunny weather with the impending beginning of spring. I need some fresh and lighter spring styles to do it in!
Looking at the spring runways I am in love and drawn to the gorgeous, soft pastels of blush, champagne, taupe and camels for a neutral spring palette that blends and mixes together. The neutral palette also mixes perfectly with navy, charcoal and black pants and pieces from your winter wardrobe for a perfect transition.
I found one fabulous neutral piece in the Monogram collection at Banana Republic. They have a silk, champagne colored racer-back tank trimmed in chiffon
that is to die for pairing it with your charcoal cropped trousers and some snakeskin caged heels, a statement necklace and a cream tuxedo jacket to complete.
At J Crew I found the most perfect blush colored feminine, ruffled tank that is perfect to wear with navy skinny pants, some strappy brown heels, a sparkly cuff and a cropped, lightweight leather jacket if you need it. You will look anything but neutral in these pretty spring colors.
