We’ve talked on the forums how brights are in for spring! You’ll find every color from pink to green offered in it’s brightest shade this season. Get inspired with these cheery looks:

Choose from Bright White, Vivid Lime or Caribbean Blue to brighten your wardrobe! The blue or green would look fabulous with dark denim, white or black! $29.99 at MetroStyle.com (purses and belts to match, too!)

A yellow clutch is a fabulous way to add color to your outfit without committing to wearing it all day as you don’t wear your purse all the time! I love this fold over version from Old Navy for $12.50! Choose from multiple colors and wood or plastic handle.

Coral is a pretty bright that brings out your rosy-cheeked glow! This Volume Sleeve blouse is available at JCPenney starting at $24.

You’ll need a new trench for the transition weather of spring. Why not a fun green one by Michael Kors? At Bluefly for $108

This floral tunic has two spring trends: bright orange and floral! It’s free flow style covers and hides any flaws in the midsection! Available at Forever 21 for $17.80

The key to wearing brights is to pair them with neutrals like khaki, black, white or denim. Don’t over do it! One key piece is enough to add a splash of color to your outfit.
