‘Back in September, right after NYFW, Pantone Color Institute announced the color palette for Spring/Summer 2023. I am usually a neutral, monotone girl regarding my outfit choices.  As much as I was so happy to see all the fun colors, how do I apply these to my wardrobe?’ Today, I challenged myself to incorporate splashes of color into my wardrobe.

Pantone color Fiery Red has been EVERYWHERE this season.  I can use this pop of color as an accessory to elevate my outfit.  When choosing a top, because it is an intense color, I would select a softer fabric, such as silk, to make it light and elegant.

Pantone color Tangelo is such a fun color and perfect during summer months!  I find it easy to do head-to-toe with this orange and not look heavy or too much.

Another great color to play with.  Though I saw many of these Empire Yellow shade dresses, I would stay true to myself and be simple, somewhere between girly and sporty!

Playing with texture and prints, I can easily incorporate green into my wardrobe.  Classic Green and Love Bird were the key green colors of the season. How about upgrading your phone case with this trendy color?

I already wear a lot of navies, so I would like to dive fully into these trendy blue shades; Blue Perennial and Summer Song.  Vests have been popular for the past few seasons, and I always love a good hat!

I love pink!  Lucky me, there are so many shades of trendy pink this season; Crystal Pink, Peach Pink, and Beetroot Purple.  And I think they are excellent when mixed and matched!

I hope you had fun with me on today’s post!  Please let me know which colors and items you want to include in your wardrobe.  I always love some fashion talk!
