Spring Style Inspiration From The College Prepster: Beautiful Brights

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

It may be cold outside, but that just means it’s the perfect time to brighten up your wardrobe! We met up with blogger Carly Heitlinger, aka The College Prepster, (and her adorable toy poodle, Theodore Fitzpatrick!) to see how she’s incorporating brights into her spring look. We love her tailored yet comfy style!

Carly’s must-have wardrobe essential for spring 2014? “Blazers. They’re perfect for transitioning springy dresses when it’s still not quite hot out!”

“I think adding a pop of color is the way to go [for spring]. [A] navy blazer and a colorful necklace or a simple black dress and a bright shoe.”

Get Carly’s adorable Bailey Bow Shoes from UGG here!

Carly’s go-to spring carryall? “Anything that can carry plenty for impromptu spring adventures… I’m trying to go to a few new cities and a few favorite cities with friends.”

Looks like Carly found the perfect adventure-ready tote: the Jane Tote from UGG! We’re obsessed with the blue hue, although we do have a soft spot for the Princess Pink version…
