The it color of this year is……. (drum roll please).. TANGERINE TANGO! I’m so excited about this color, you guys don’t even understand. I have a few blouses that are this color already but I am excited to go on a hunt to find the perfect Spring top in this shade! It just says ‘all eyes on me’. When you wear nice bright colors it really commands attention. So, best believe I will be going out and finding a cute bag, and blouse in this shade. Overall, bright colors are in this season.
Color blocking is here, so we all might as well accept it! I would not attempt this if you don’t know how to.. it’s quite risky. You can look like you’re fabulously living on the edge or like someone just threw up their lunch on you. So, if you’re not too sure.. don’t try it at home gals. I like when people color block colors that compliment each other. Especially if you’re a newbie.. keep the training wheels on. Some of us are new this, and others are true to this. I would not color block black, orange, and purple.. what in the world? I would color block a nice fushia pink with a splash of purple, and maybe throw in a blue. Only three colors at one time please!!
How about some crazy prints?? Rawr. I’ve heard that futuristic prints has stomped it’s way onto the list of Spring 2012 Trends! I’m not surprised, because the fashion world is anything but plain. Floral print is also in, but then again.. it never really left! This trend, like color blocking, has to be approached and attempted with extreme caution. This can go wrong in so many different ways. If you are going to wear a futuristic printed jacket or pair of pants then throw that on with a nice white tee! Keep it simple. If you’re doing the printed jacket, then make sure you have on a simple pair of pants, and that your inside shirt is not too busy. If you’re doing the printed pants, then make sure that your top is plain because your pants are surely going to be busy. I love the risk! TAKE IT!! Own those stares you’re going to get!
Last but not least, get yourself a nice BRIGHT trench! This trench would not be for everyday, but it will be great to throw on with a few things!! It will brighten up your outfit and it’s a great attention snatcher.
Pastel lovaasss, you can stop sweating bullets.. pastel is in this Spring too!! So if you are not a risk taker and you really don’t want to do the whole print look, stick with your pastel! You’ll still look fabulous, but in a low-key kind of way.
Spring.. I’m officially ready for ya!! Bring IT ON!!
