Wearing color is the best way to transition into Spring even when temperatures outside still require a coat. Each season a new pantone report comes out with the most fashionable colors of the season and insight on why designers chose them. You can learn more about each color by visiting the Pantone fashion color report for Spring 2013.
This Spring the color I’m most excited about is GREEN! Green is everywhere and claims three different spots on this seasons’ pantone report.
Green is one of the easiest colors to wear and can be a very versatile addition to any wardrobe. Check out some easy ways to wear this season’s hottest hue.

GREEN JEWELRY Jade jewelry has been in vogue for ages. Not only is it a beautiful color, but it works with almost any outfit. Pair these earrings with a purple top and jeans or dress them up with your little black dress. |
| A GREEN DRESSA green ensemble isn’t reserved just for leprechauns. Green is a universally flattering color. Simply find the shade that’s right for you. To know which color is right for you simply hold up the color next to your face. If you feel like running back to the dressing room to put on more make up you know you need a different shade of green. |

A GREEN HANDBAGGive a nod to the hue of the season with a printed handbag that has a pop of green. Remember you don’t have to do a literal translation of every trend. If it’s not something you’re ready to commit to all over just do it in a small way so it makes more sense for you and your personal style. |
| A GREEN SHOEThis is my personal favorite way to wear green this season. A green shoe goes with everything—your favorite white jeans, a denim skirt, or an easy spring dress. Adding a pop of color with a shoe is a great way to give your outfit a dose of pizzazz. |

No matter where in the world you live, there is always a time of transition into the upcoming season. It would be great if we could flip a switch that made it go from winter to spring overnight. Instead we are usually teased by spring styles in the stores, budding flowers, and temperatures that head up and then right back down.
No reason to despair, you have to consider this time period your transition season. Transition is a season that happens twice a year, spring to fall and winter to spring. It is the period of time where you are ready for the season change, excited about the clothing in the stores, but can’t completely embrace the new season because the temperatures are still too hot or cold.
There are 3 easy ways to look stylish while dressing appropriately for the weather during the transition season.
1. Play with color
One of the easiest ways to feel like spring is to add a pop of spring color to an outfit. This could be as simple as a bright camisole under your standard black wrap dress, or change up your favorite cardigan by pairing it over a fun printed dress.
2. Experiment with layers
Even fairly lightweight layers can keep you comfortable on a chilly spring morning. Try cardigans over spring blouses, jackets over spring skirts, and swap out heavy wool fabrics for ones that have a more year round versatility.
3. Change up your accessories
Trade out your tired winter boots for a ballet flat, choose vibrant bold jewelry (one of spring’s trends) in a fun color, add a pop of color with a shoe or handbag that says spring, or try a spring scarf. A scarf is great because it adds a fun pop of color and can be worn many different ways.
All three of these tricks of the trade are small changes that can make you feel more current, modern, and in style as you transition into spring. Here’s to your transition style.
