Spring is here. Flowers are blooming and we should inject some colour into our wardrobes.Here are some gorgeous pieces from various designers from previous seasons for your visual charm. These colorful numbers are all in block colors. I find that wearing colourful clothes brightens my day.
Here is a yellow purple voidle draped dress with a cinch belt by Marc Jacobs. I love the horizontal stripes on the torso and the drapery details around the hips- very flattering cut. I apologize about the Wesley College colours.
What a wonderful trench! This Diane von Furstenberg ‘lab coat’ is tres chic. You could wear it as a dress with some red heels. I love the bow tie. The unusual colour combination actually works!
The perfect summer number for a luncheon with friends. I love this 3 -tone Thread Social silk twill strapless dress. The scalloped edge is very popular this season.
Ok, so this Luella jacket is mainly purple. I had to include this boucle jacket in this post because it is just divine. How gorgeous is the lace inserts and the diagonal zip! I would wear it with indigo skinnies or a white pair of lien shorts. Ingenious design!
Thread Social has a good thing going. Here is a shoulder-tier tank dress in 3 unusual colours. You could just wear it with a pair of bejeweled sandals or dress it up with an embellished belt and fabulous heels.
Marc Jacobs is a master of colours. Here is a Marc by Marc Jacobs Maggie stripe knit jacket. I adore knit jackets because they offer formality without being high-maintenance when packed for trips. I agree that staring at the stripes makes you a little dizzy, perhaps that was the charm Jacobs was trying to achieve.
I have saved the best for last. This is a silk Sonia Rykiel striped silk chiffon dress. I adore the peach and fuchsia combination. It is dressy and sassy enough for any occasion. The colours are ultra-flattering, especially if you add some sparkles. I would spend the entire summer in this frock.
So there you are, dig out your colourful clothes and start wearing them instead of the usual black that we live in! Summer is here!
Hello, I’m still thinking about Alice in Wonderland editorial, I love it! I love the look here, thanks for sharing!

wish it was spring in the UK! But maybe I can just use some colour to brighten up winter instead. Loving the Marc Jacobs and Sonia Rykiel dresses. Great colours. xx
Yeah trust Marc Jacobs to offer eye-catching designs!
I’m not usually huge on colour blocking, but these are great. I love the scalloped dress.
