Adding Spring Colors

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oregon chapter.

Here in Eugene rain is inevitable. Often times this limits us from busting out the cute, bright-colored summer clothing, and sticking to such things as warm neutral-colored rain jackets. Here are some easy and unexpected ways to add a pop of spring color!

Skinny Belt
Cinch a light sweater and scarf with a bright colored skinny belt or do the same to a long sleeved neutral colored dress.

Go All Out With Rain Boots
If your wardrobe for rain forecasts mostly consists of neutral colors, you can bring all that lost color down to your feet. At the same time, you can also be prepared for showers with a multicolored pair of rain boots like these flowered ones from Gabriella Rocha.

Bold Wallet
Add a pop of sunshine to your daily tasks with a vibrant wallet, like this blue and purple Mossimo wallet. Next time you’re getting your much-needed morning caffeine or retrieving your I.D. card that moment will be brightened.

Add Color to Your Plate
Adding bright colors to what you eat will make you feel better, have more energy, and have a sunnier disposition. Start your morning with a fruit smoothie or add peppers to anything you make with most proteins. Try this smoothie recipe!
