I love the color palette this spring and the hot hue combinations such as, orange and purple that has been spotted at Gucci and Diane Von Furstenberg Spring 2011 runways. The vibrant colors are so popping that they give me almost an automatic boost of energy. During these hot couple of days, I think we could use the extra surge of liveliness that the sun has seized from us.

Color blocking these bold hues is one of the several trends this season and it’s not as hard as you may think.
Orange works well with other bold colors such as purple, pink, and red.
With this in mind, I spotted some tangerine orange
Halston Heritage shorts on clearance for $34.00 at
TJ Maxx!
Originally they retailed for over $250.00 so you could only imagine the burst of euphoria that gushed through my body!
Now I was on a mission to pair these shorts with another bold hue and what do you know... I then found a
Free People hot berry burn out cotton tee that would totally complement the shorts.
The Free People shirt costs only $19.99 and retails for $58.00 and I can’t even begin to tell you how comfortable this outfit is.
This ensemble is perfect for a day of leisure while still looking on trend.
You could easily add another pop of color or you could separate the two pieces and recreate two whole other outfits.
With these affordable prices it is okay to go wild and stray from classic color pieces.
Take a risk with me, I promise not to break your bank ;)
