Spring: A time to wash away the monochrome hues of winter in a refreshing rain of color. We see the tapestry around us turn from gloomy grays, and spark alive with vibrant pastels, reds, blues, and greens. Flowers bursts forth from the land and paints the rolling hills with their blooming palette of color.

As the world washes away winter's grays, so should we do the same to our wardrobes. Don't let the layers bog you down — peel them away and let the colors cover you like they are covering the springtime season!

Spring is a time for activities — baby showers, weddings, holidays, barbecues, parties and vacations. You need to gear up for such occasions, which is a perfect opportunity to make a few "go-to" outfits so you are prepared for all of the springtime activities.

Here are a few looks that I put together for this spring. I normally wear a great deal of red, as it is my favorite color. This spring I wanted to embrace more colors into my wardrobe.

My first outfit is one I put together to wear for the following:

1. A date at the docks
2. The carnival
3. A barbecue
4. Sailing
5. Any outdoor gathering

Outfit 1

The second outfit is more fitting for the evening or nighttime. Whether you are going out with friends or on a date with that special someone, a little bit of layering can dress up a casual outfit like this. Spring nights can be chilly, and a jacket helps, as it is not only for warmth but turns a very casual outfit into casual-dressy. I love to wear bowties, and this gingham print reminds me of spring no matter the color, which made it perfect for this outfit.

Spring Outfit 2

My final outfit is more formal. This would not be appropriate to wear to a spring wedding, however, so please keep that in mind. Unless the wedding party requests you wear white, you should never do so. White is clean and classy, and you can put any color with it — from a shirt to the accessories. Do not be afraid to mix up your color palette. Spring is vibrant and lively, and your wardrobe should be, too! Most importantly, have fun with your clothing. It is an extension of you, your personality and quirks, and the image you project is the one that comes to life when you embrace what you enjoy wearing. Enjoy your spring!
