Coral blues…

Spring is creeping up on us, but that doesn’t mean that we have to douse ourselves in saturated pinks and yellows. A sophisticated alternative to Easter Egg brights is a simple shot of color in an otherwise monochromatic outfit.

I’ve gone for a light wash flared jean to start things off. Dark wash denim is classic, but going lighter can help you stand out in a crowd (and the bell bottoms embody my favorite ’70s aesthetic).  Monochromatic complements to this faded denim include pale blues and grays, and even whites and off-whites. I’d wear this coral embellished cardigan over a tucked, fitted camisole. This way, I can show off my cute braided belt. The bright sequined flowers aren’t like anything I’ve seen on the racks before, so I knew this cute sweater was a must-have for spring.

These adorable embellished wedges will pop out from under my flared jeans. The gold embellishments make it easy to accessorize with other gold bracelets and earrings. Not only are they springy and flirty, but they also follow the outfit’s monochrome palette. The peep toe allows me to show off a pretty pedicure, which of course is the perfect finishing touch to any look.
