Spring: Colouring Book

        Spring has finally arrived! I have been anxiously waiting for the day I get to pack up the piles of sweaters and boots that were taking over my closet and in exchange, getting to hang up all of my spring dresses and tops. There is no better feeling than making your closet just a little brighter since no one wears black in the spring (well, okay I'm guilty). One thing I adore about the springtime is the colors, like every girl, I am a fan of pastels. Yes, the girl who says her favorite color is black, loves pastels. Rose gold, lavender, and sea foam green, oh my lord. Although those are spring colors, there are many others. So, I thought what better way then to name a few other popular spring colors that you must incorporate into your outfits to create a bold, cool look. Here are a few of my favorite Spring 2016 colors, according to Pantone's Color Report.

                                                          Rose Quartz:

Rose Quartz is one of my favorites because of its elegance. It holds such a light but balanced look.When it comes to wearing a color like Rose Quartz, finding a loose blouse or a pair of trousers or pleated cropped pants would best show off this color, pair it with another bright colored apparel item to complement its bold yet fresh sweet color.

Iced Coffee:

 

 

Although I do love my iced coffee, I would also enjoy wearing it as much as drinking it. This color gives off a more gray version of a beige or ivory. It's very solid and decadent and I think wearing this color in a maxi dress or loose long pea coat would best show off its color. Pair these outfits with similar colors, when it comes to a color like this, I think wearing colors such as cream, tan, and beige would best show of its milky color.

Lilac Gray:

Lilac Gray is the new lavender this 2016, spring time is all about brightening your color palette, but it is also about darkening it as well. This lilac gray is such a soft color with a hard statement. If you were to wear something with this color in it, pick out a pair of heels or platform flats, or a floral dress to accentuate this deep color.

Green Flash:

There is nothing more about springtime than the color green! Green is everywhere, although a more difficult color to pull off, there are always ways to show off its radiance. Green Flash gives off a sense of openness and exploration so what better way to wear it than to wear this color on a pair of pleated pants or a sheath style dress.

Buttercup:

This color is as yummy as it sounds! Shades of yellow have always had a major partake in spring fashion and in color trends, but this color takes the cake. Buttercup is a color that is as shiny and bright as the sun. It's as if wearing this color takes you to a happier destination. It's glow gives off peace and contrast. In order to wear Buttercup the best, find a skirt, any style would do such as flared, circle, or even A-line. Wearing a skirt with this color will best show of its brightness with the flow of a skirt. A accessory that would be paired with this color is a messenger handbag as well.

Springtime is all about the sweet and smooth colors, but also creating a statement and imagery. There are also many more colors from Pantone's Spring 2016 Color Report shown that best express this season!
