BRIGHT COLORS GONE BAD

Although my day to day color palette typical consists of an array of blacks, grays, and navys, I am excited for the bright colors of spring 2011.  With a fresh new coating of snow on my doorstep, I am even more ready for chirping birds and flowing spring looks. This spring it is all about color.  Pairing these Kool-Aid colored shades with an equally but contrasting hue is totally on trend.  Red, tangerine, turquoise, or magenta... throw on a few together and you are right on trend with spring's bright colorblocking phenomenon.  Shades you think typically clash are now the hottest new color duo for spring.  We love it! 

Jil Sander, Proenza Schouler, Prabal Gurung, Z Spoke.

As excited as I am for spring, and as eager as we all are to put away our bulky sweaters and snowboots, it is important to use the latest trends in an appropriate manner. 1980's orange puffer jacket and fuschia, raw silk trousers do not equal fashion forward colorblocking.  If only someone had given this woman the memo.
