Last week, I loaded up my outfits with major doses of color.  This week, I’m toning it down slightly — keeping my outfits bright, but grounded in neutral pieces.    Color and class aren’t mutually exclusive.  And whether you prefer to go all out or just add a few pops, there’s an appropriate level of color for everyone.

It’s Friday and bright colors just seem like the proper way to usher in this weekend.  I know we’re still a few weeks away from spring, but I couldn’t wait to bring out the pastels.  Call it premature — I call it a preview of what’s to come.  Happy weekend friends!
