Spring Fever


Although Nebraska has been lucky enough to have one of the warmest winters to date, I can’t help but count down the days until spring is officially hear. I’m ready to back up my beloved boots, coats, and sweaters and trade them in for skirts, dresses and wedges.

The muted nude, gray, beige, tan and black were all great for fall and winter, but this spring it’s all about color. With new weather brings the need for new boldness, and what better way to be bold than with color. Color combination are key to nailing this trend. Try mixing complimentary colors together, like a royal purple with a yellow, then splash some pink in the palette. Or try turquoise with a light orange. The hottest colors are turquoise, fuchsia, tangerine, indigo blue and a bright citrus. Pantone's tangerine color is the hottest off the press; I like it best paired with a bold turquoise. Wear these shades with neutral shoes and accessories to pull everything together. Also make sure the color palette you choose compliments your skin tone to ensure you are rocking out the trend. MaxMara, Jay Godfrey and Diane von Furstenberg are great references for this look.
