Brightening Up Spring
Even though we are half way through March, it feels like winter has not let go. Although the air has slightly warmed up, it has not warmed up enough for the spring gear we all long to wear. The skies are cloudy, dark, and it does nothing but rain. Sound familiar? It is enough to make you reach for the end of winter wear and the dark colors. I challenge to steer clear. When I am tempted to reach for the deep hues of winter, I pause a moment and then reach for one of my four favorite spring time colors: chartreuse, magenta, turquoise, and kelly green.
Chartreuse. As far as I am concerned nothing says spring (or summer) like this vibrant lime green. It pairs well with chambray and navy. I love pairing it with a navy and white striped tee, a light jacket, and a pop of silver.
Magenta. I love rich and elegant hue of magenta. It is vibrant and fresh. Magenta pairs well with navy, gray, silver, and patterns. I paired this magenta denim skirt with a silver blouse and a pair of giraffe print flats.
Turquoise. Like chartreuse, turquoise screams spring (and summer). It is bold, tropical, and festive. You cannot help but feel like it springtime, even when the weather is cold. I love the combination of coral and turquoise together. I especially love how the gold embossed pineapples add a sweet extra dimension to the outfit.
Kelly green. Kelly green is the perfect shade for spring and the perfect shade for March. It is peppy, bright, and harkens to fresh green grass. It also happens to be the perfect shade of green for St. Patrick's Day. With March 17th in mind, I paired my kelly green denim skirt with a white tee decorated with a gold bow, and a pair of black flats.
Don't let the weather get you down. It is springtime after all! Let's embrace the bright, bold colors of spring like we do every year, even if the weather is not as cheery.

Hi! I just found your blog and I'm so glad I did. I love the denim skirts in those gorgeous colours, but where do you find them? And do they all have a bulky tummy and waist area? That is what I find most frustrating about denim skirts, they are bulky right at my worst or largest area! ;) I would really love to know where you find them.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! Thanks for your comment. No these skirts do not have a bulky tummy. I get my denim skirts from one of two places: Jupe De Abby or Jade Mackenzie Apparel. Because my hips are the widest part of my body, I always size for my hips and that helps with any problems with the waist band.
