Grey and Coral?

I went to the mall Friday and was not expecting to see anything Springy yet. I LOVE Spring! I start getting excited for Spring the day after Christmas. I have a hard time waiting. The only thing that tides me over is the release of early Spring nail polish. This year, I am SUPER excited because China Glaze, Opi, and Essie all have AMAZING Spring collections. You can check out the swatches and color descriptions for China Glaze Anchors Away, which is full of fun colors at chicprofile.com Chic Profile is my go to website to find out what is up and coming in makeup and nail polish. They also have a good blog about the upcoming Opi Texas Collection. I am so stoked. I grew up in Central Texas and I love that I know all the places the names are talking about. Not to mention all the fabulous greens coming out in these collections!
Anywho, I digress. At the mall, stores like Ann Taylor and Charlotte Russe had already put out Spring inspired fashions. What struck me about both is that there was a large amount of navy blue paired with white and orange ( I caved and bought a giant orange flower pin to put on a navy sweater) and coral mixed with gray. While I would have never thought to pair orange and navy together, (except maybe at a UVA game) I especially would never have thought to pair grey with coral. The combination was the perfect transition from Winter into Spring. I also found that these colors are universally flattering. My Snow whitey self can wear them, but so can Chelle who is more olive skinned.
I was also really excited to see a lot of Parisian inspired fashioned including stripes! I love stripes. I also loved the comeback of giant flower pins on everything!!! And bows!!!! I would definitely check out Charlotte Russe  and Ann Taylor for inspiration. Seeing all of these great outfit ideas made me really excited for Spring to hurry up and get here!!!!
