Searching for colorful inspiration for the sunny months ahead? It's very easy to fall into an easy and uninspired "uniform" on a daily basis. Especially if you live in New York, your year-round uniform probably consists of 90% black and denim. Style those pieces for summer by adding one of the hottest trends of 2017 - Crayola brights. Royal blue, fire engine red, emerald green, and butter yellow. Just a few of the shades that sprinkled SS17 runways. Don't wait for the saturated hues to be on every mannequin in every store - ride the initial wave and add brights into your already-existing wardrobe. Start with accessories, and work your way up! Earrings, sunglasses, heels and tote bags are all perfect pieces to try out if you're not sure how to incorporate these colors. Whether you're wondering how to style a orange statement necklace or a head-to-toe turquoise look, it all starts with shape and fit. Make sure that you're investing in pieces that show off your body, enhance your favorite features, and choose colors that make you happy. Need initial help to determine your shape, colors, or anything else?

Let the bright yellow of the skirt be the statement of your outfit. Not feeling like muting it with a neutral? Go for an equally-bright top! Stylist Tip: Let some skin show if you're comfortable. Head-to-toe covered up in color can be a bit much. pretty patternsPhoto Credit | Equipment blouse | Dolce & Gabbana floral skirt | Sam Edelman heels | Thom Browne sunglasses | Givenchy lipstick | Chelsea28 bag | Carven ruffle skirt | Oscar de la Renta earrings By mixing prints and patterns in the same color family, you create a sophisticated level of visual interest that many others don't know how to achieve. This is a difficult skill to master, so try it out with one solid, one print in the same family first. Then once you're comfortable, test out some other prints! In this case, trust your gut. If you look in the mirror and don't feel right, chances are, it's time to change. blazer babePhoto Credit | Max Mara blazer | Fausto Puglisi blouse | Zara pineapple tunic | Skagen watch | Ann Taylor sunglasses | Zara jeans | Zara bag | Aldo mules Oranges and yellows are everywhere this season, so it won't be hard to find the perfect blazer in your budget.
