Oh it's happening. Spring 2018 is upon us and that means new colors to introduce into your wardrobe. Introduce? Meaning I don't already have them in there? Indeed. While it's possible you have a few of these beauties floating around. It's likely that you don't have many, whether or not you love them, simply because we haven't seen this color palette in a while. And it's not surprising. Fashion and style are combatting tough times with playful, happy pieces to help us wake up, smile and fight the good fight. 

As a personal stylist for women, I'm always reminding clients that just because you don't think a color is flattering, doesn't mean you can't wear it. So let's dive into the colors of the season and the next post will focus on how to wear them. Off we go!

2018 Spring Color Palette

The fearless among us will rock these lace up espadrilles with the romper above. Monochromatic for the win, I say! Or use these as your pop of color. Just right for a more bohemian style.

Happiness is these shoes. How do I know? Because my wedding dress (worn almost exactly 10 years ago this month) was covered in feathers and I'm still beside myself just thinking about it. Eugenia Kim Charlene Slides. Anthro. $378.

Yes. You are that cool. And if you have a triangle shaped figure, you're going to look even more incredible in this unexpected sweater. J.W. Anderson Multi Pocket Crewneck Sweater Tangerine. La Garconne. Was: $710. Now: $213.

Last but certainly not least, let's hear it for this suede skirt that you are sure to keep for years. This style works easily for any woman who doesn't carry her weight in her stomach. But, if you love it and you DO carry your weight in your stomach. Add a heel, shaper and an eye catching top to pull it all together. I like a print long sleeve silk top with a neck tie as a start.
