Hi! I am Valerie Rippetoe with Marsha's Wardrobe Consulting. I am showing you how to update your spring wardrobe. Right now I am going to talk about color. Spring is all about bright colors this season. You're going to see oranges and cobalt blues, hot pinks, yellows and great Kelly greens. So our model Mary Margaret is probably wearing the hottest color of this season which is this bright golden yellow. This is a gray jacket. Most women think they can't wear a yellow, but that's untrue.
There is a range of yellows. So it goes from butter yellow to lemony yellow to sunshine and golden yellow and Mary Margaret is great in this golden undertone because of her neutral column of chocolate. And that helps kind of subdue the yellow a little bit if you are afraid to wear it and everybody has neutrals in their closets. So you can take this jacket and put it back with black. It looks great back with navys and then for a fun summer time look you can pair it with a white. Mary Margaret looks just as great coming as she does going.
So I am going to turn her around and you are going to see this inverted pleat down the back of the jacket which gives the jacket a little bit of a swing effect. The detail actually while she is turned backwards you can see the three quarter length sleeve and the detail at the sleeve. Again details are really what is important in the spring. The key to wearing bright colors this season is to pair it back with neutrals in your closet. So I love yellow because yellow looks great with black. It looks great with navy and it looks great with white because it gives it more of a fun summer time look.
Two more colors that I am going to talk about are cobalt blue and strawberry. My first jacket is the cobalt blue; it's in distressed leather. Put this jacket on and you can wear it with anything in your wardrobe. So you can take any of your blacks and navys, you can take white, but with this it's all about the jacket because it's such a statement.
Next we have the cardigan set and the cardigan set is a great strawberry color which is a great color to update your spring wardrobe. And for those of you who are a little afraid of color, you can do some great accessories this season. You are going to see handbags, again I had said earlier that the handbag is a statement piece in your closet and this is the same color as the leather jacket, so it's in the cobalt blue. You can have great shoes which we have two pairs of shoes, a multi color bright show and then we have - I love this because it took the pink, hot pink in orange and put them together. You don't have to be afraid of just doing the bright colors with neutrals.
For those of you who are a little more dramatic in white color you can take these colors and for instance this strawberry you can pop it with bright yellows. For the royal blue you can pop it with a Kelly green. So that's how you update your spring wardrobe with this season's bright colors.
Next I am going to show you some of the must have blouses for spring.
