27 Mar 5 Colorful Looks to Energize You this Spring
Life is happier when it’s in full color. There is a reason people get a little more depressed in the winter, and a little more tired! It’s because the leaves have fallen and the sky is normally gray (Not knocking grey it is beautiful too). Sustainability is all about ecological balance and ecology is full of gorgeous bright colors. This series celebrates those vibrant colors that reappear every spring.
This first look is bursting with color! The top is meant to capture the feeling of a hot summer night, and to continue that trend I added red hot accents with the shoes and necklace. Be the sparkler in the room!

This is meant to be a bright spring work look. Most of the pieces I have rounded up are from sets I’ve done before like the top, and obviously the glasses they are in the sets above as well. This is to remind you that all clothes are meant to last and the clothes I show are designed and made to be well worn over a lifetime.
