TREND: Color Me Mine

This season is not only about the brightness of the sun, but the brightness of your outfit, too. Color has become a huge trend this season, from jeans to scarves and even handbags. With colors such as fuchsia, yellow, aqua and purple flooding the runway, we cant help but notice the pop of color in everyone’s outfit. Grays and browns are slowly fading into the distance, and now is the perfect time to be accessorized in festive and colorful hues.

This Fashionista was spotted getting off of the campus shuttle and I couldn’t help but notice her bright yellow, fringed messenger bag. She took a simple outfit of leggings, a loose tee, black hemp gladiators and added that pop of color that transformed the entire look. She informed me that this bag could be a messenger for a long day of classes and change to a shoulder bag for a day of shopping. And, the fringes on the bag make it stand out even more. Who doesn’t love fringe? The key to making color a part of your outfit without going overboard is not to be too worried about everything matching. If you want to wear a purple handbag with red shorts, this is the season to do so.

Hint: If you are looking to participate in this trend, purchasing a colored bag is a great start. Wear an outfit you feel most comfortable in, and add a color that best suits you. Don’t be afraid to show your inner Fashionista. For some amazing colored bags to start your collections, Forever 21 has the some that won't break the bank. For one a bit more expensive, go to Urban Outfitters.

TREND: Color Me Mine

Color, color, color. That's all everyone has been talking about this spring. Whether it's colorful lips with coral tones – as we learned from our weekly Wednesday Fashiontalk chats on Twitter- or colorful printed clothing, color has been all the rage this season. Although most of us try to incorporate color into main clothing items, another way to incorporate color and patterns in subtle ways is through accessories. 

This Fashionista is a perfect example of how you can transform ordinary accessories into having colorful flair. Most people tend to keep their bags/backpacks simple and ordinary. After all, they're usually not the main focal point of your outfit. However, carrying an unordinary bag like this Fashionista does, can completely transform your entire ensemble. Urban Outfitters has come out with a great line of summer styles, including this Mexican Blanket Backpack and Ecote Baja Backpack

Another accessory you can have fun styling with is the hairband. Topshop has a variety of great hair accessories you can play with, but my personal favorite is this Orange Striped Bow Hairband. As you can see from this Fashionista's choice in her hair accessories, her red hairband makes all the difference by adding that final touch to her finely crafted, colorful outfit. Pair that with a great Denim Chambray Shirt from J.crew and you'll be set for this spring and summer. 

There are a variety of ways to mix and match different colors and prints into your outfit. Next time, why not try something new and buy a printed backpack, a wild hair piece, or even a colorful pair of frames to turn ordinary accessories into something that grabs everyone's attention.
