Swoon Over Spring

After getting just a little taste of spring today in Seattle, I thought it seemed only fitting for me to share with you my three favorite hues for the upcoming season!

  • Mint
  • Coral
  • Cobalt

As a kid, I was never really a fan of color. My closet was filled with whites, blacks, and neutrals. Classic never goes out of style, right? WRONG. Actually, not wrong. That statement is still true, but what I’ve come to realize in my college years is that color livens things up a bit! I can wear neutrals when I’m a real adult because – hey – colors don’t look so bad on me y’all and I don’t have to be an adult just yet, at least not until I graduate for real.

These items you see above are from Urban Outfitters, of course.

Are any of you already jotting down items for spring in these colors?! Send them on over! I’ll also keep you updated on the items I end up purchasing myself as well.

Current/Elliott Spring 2012

Well, the snow is currently being washed away by the rain as we speak so how about we get a little bit of spring up in here?

I got a sneak peak of Current/Elliott’s Spring 2012 lookbook today via Refinery29 and I think I would very much like to own every single piece for my closet this upcoming season. Prepare to lust over this collection because these pictures are all you’re going to have for the next two months.

Madewell Spring 2012 Lookbook

A couple months ago, these pieces were dressed up on mannequins, but now that they are styled, they look perfect enough to be purchased as they are. I am loving their use of prints, splashes of color and the fact that they are trying to bring back overalls. Would it be okay to wear overalls for this spring? Seeing this pair certainly makes me want to try.

Quiksilver Spring 2012

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I have never had the chance to embrace the California cool style. I did my fair share of shopping at Pac Sun during my pre-teen years and even liked my occasional Roxy pieces, but deep down, I knew that I wasn’t entirely pulling it off. The one item from my closet that has still lasted with me over the years is my C&C California striped yellow and lime tank top. I’m not sure where I’ll be next year, but if I ever get a chance to be back in California then I will definitely be giving it a second chance and hopefully wearing some of Quiksilver’s pieces. Their new Spring ’12 line is packed with items I want for my own closet!
