It's February. Blah! Tis the season to yearn for Spring. For me, I long to dig in the dirt, tend my flower beds and watch the garden come back to life. I long for the Sunshine, to shed layers and feel the sun's rays and a mello breeze. But, it's February. I must have patience and wait a bit longer as the earth prepares to awaken into colors, scents, textures and sounds.

In the meantime, I am looking ahead to the Spring fashion color trends. One of the ways fashion keeps us coming back to purchase something new and fresh is the ever changing trends of colors. I know it's their gimmick but, I don't mind. I would get bored wearing the same colors ALL. THE. TIME!!! I DO gravitate to those colors that pop on me; chocolate brown, Teal, Hunter green and Red. But, it's those trend colors that bring my basics to life. Here's what's showing up this Spring. Some are fresh ideas and some are some of the same with just a new color name.

I'm grateful for the blue sky and the sunshine today. But, I look forward to the melting of the snow and the tuffs of green popping up from the earth. As the colors arrive in nature, don't be afraid to show your colors in your wardrobe too!
