Spring Fashion 2014 & Color Palette

When it comes to fashion, I tend to keep my wardrobe pretty basic.  But I do enjoy staying up-to-date with news of what designers are creating and designing for the different seasons.   What are the new trends, shapes, colors, fabrics, and accessories coming down the runway.   Spring fashion 2014 debuted last year and the ready-to-wear collections will soon be in retail stores. Here are a few of my favorite inspirational pictures for spring 2014.  The silhouettes are flirty with ruffles.  The palette of pastels, creamy whites with contrasted black and dark hues.  There are many patterns, stripes, floral prints and embroideries in striking colors.

Take a look….

Spring 2014 color Palette

These are my color picks for spring 2014.  Use them however you like.  The color palette is great as a guide for your wardrobe, decorating a room, pillow combinations, a craft project, setting the table for entertaining or a simple flower arrangement this spring season.  I included a color palette to the right of each outfit pictured above to help visualize how the colors could be combined.

 Are you ready for Spring?
