Primaries Galore!

When it comes to color, spring is typically a time for brights, neutrals, and pastels. Though all these shades will come into play this year, spring 2008 is also a time for bold and basic primary colors. Black, white, yellow, and red all look crisp and fresh this season, and are perfect transition pieces to pick up today!

This Donna Morgan floral print dress combines the best of all things spring: a cheery graphic floral print; bold blocks of red, black, and white; and a flattering empire waist. The matte jersey fabric is light enough for a warm spring day, but is still heavy enough to hold its own when layered between black knit tights and a short black jacket for the cooler days.

If you’d prefer a brighter shade as the weather turns, yellow is for you. This 525 America crochet sweater is hot in bright, bold canary. The cheery color looks fresh and new with crisp white pants and metallic sandals for those first teasing days of warmth, and the fitted shape goes great with a white peasant skirt when the weather really heats up. Or, wear it over a black camisole with black wide-leg pants to add a pop of color to your cool-weather wardrobe.

Looking for a more unusual piece? Kersh’s French Terry jacket in pomegranate is sure to get noticed in a crowd. With ¾ length sleeves, ribbed cuffs and hem, and oversized buttons, this uniquely-styled jacket is great addition to any spring wardrobe. It can be worn belted over a ribbed tee with boot-cut jeans for a great weekend look, or it can provide an extra bit of warmth over a short black dress. The vivid pomegranate shade is a winner, no matter what you pair it with!
