Looking at all of the spring fashions in the stores, there is so much colour! Colour blocking and wearing bright shades is what this spring is all about. When I think of wearing brights in a classy way, I immediately think of Julia Sugarbaker!!
Julia Sugarbaker, played by the late Dixie Carter, was the backbone of Sugarbaker's Design Firm on
Designing Women. She was classy, feisty and very good at giving speeches! As the majority of the show centered around the workplace, Julia was normally rocking some form of colourful power suit. So rad! It's so depressing when you're sitting in an office full of sad faces and dark suits.
We all can't have an Antony or a Suzanne at work to brighten our day, but we can take a page out of Julia's book and throw on a bright suit. I also like the idea of adding statement jewellery and bright lipstick. I'm totally going to take it a step further and work a bright blazer with a different bright skirt (like turquoise & purple, or red & orange). Go big or go home!!
I watched a bunch of Season 1 of
Designing Women on DVD to research this idea and I haven't laughed so hard in a while. Do yourself a favour and check out the show to get some inspiration for yourself!
XOXO,
Emily
