This weekend I received my first sunburn of the spring/summer and quickly realized that 1.) I should be wearing more sunscreen, and 2.) it was time to jump on TETO to discuss the trends for the upcoming sunshine.
If you haven’t noticed already, color is everywhere. From colorful patterns mixed together, to outfits created through use of color blocking, it seems that this summer will be one of the brightest we have seen.
Being a gal that tends to dress like Wednesday Adams, this is something I am ready to embrace…for the summer at least. Below are a few ways to add a little color to your life while taking in the sunshine, fresh-cut grass, and dinners on the patio.
1.) Color Blocking
You will see this everywhere this summer. Color blocking is creating just that, blocks of color throughout your outfit. From Gucci to H&M this summer trend is everywhere, and one that works for all budgets.

Keep in mind that color blocking is for the gal who is ready to embrace our summer of color to the fullest. Below are a few ideas for some baby-steppers like me.
2.) Color Patterns
For those of us who are ready to color block just yet, grab a pattern based around bright colors and add to your wardrobe as an add-on to any summer outfit. This will allow you to rock the color, but ensure you don’t feel out of your element.

Brunch with the gals? Grab your favorite jean jacket, white cardi, or pair of nude flats and throw on this summertime skirt. This will do just the trick to ease you into the color.

And finally, for those who are still a bit nervous about these bright colors, below are a few options for adding some color to your life bit-by-bit.
3.) Color Makeup
Try Dolce & Gabbana’s new nail color in Shocking. This fuchsia is bright, bold, and just the splash of color you need to step outside of your comfort zone.
