Spring & Summer 2013 Color Trends

Ever since Prabal Gurung for Target launched in February, I have noticed a popular color that is hot for the spring and summer. Some call it sulphur, blazing yellow, extreme yellow or even lime.

Embracing my bold statement shoes in Blazing Yellow. 

Pantone may have set Emerald as the color of the year, but I have a feeling this will be a close alternative!

It's definitely going to be a color everyone is wearing - hey, even I've bought a few things in this color. And I'm not usually a yellow person. But I have been rocking this look.

Take a look at the Prabal Gurung for Target shoes that I feel started the trend (or at least when I noticed this color's popularity). They may or may not be available on target.com or in stores, which I will tell you in the caption.

Ankle Strap Pump in Sulfur (View on Target's website here - currently unavailable, find in store option available).

Next came the Lulu Guinness for JC Penney line - in which they have a many of their products featured in a 'lime' color that in person is more yellow toned to me. A friend matched the PGxT ankle strap pumps in sulfur (above picture) to this JCP purse in lime:

Arm Candy Shoulder Bag in lime - view on JCP website here. $37.

Another Target fave is the Mossimo Women's Pleated Peplum Tank in Indian Lime - again very much the same color as the PG and Lulu pieces. This top is a very flattering color for any skin tones, as well as any size.

Peplum tank in Indian Lime - you can view on Target's website here - for $17.99. I found mine for $12.58 on clearance in store.

Here I am in the peplum tank in Osage Orange (really coral).  Just so you can see what this shirt looks like since I don't have a shot of me in the Indian Lime.

Another wonderful example of this yellow in fashion, is the fact that Coach has a shoe featuring this bright pop of color! I am in love with these Coco Flat Sandal in Yellow/Ginger. These puppies run for a steep $138, but they are made from Leather. You decide if they are worth the price!

If you're looking for this amazing pop of color in a cheaper alternative, hop on over to Target and check out these Women's Mossimo Nina Braided Strap Thong Sandal in Extreme Yellow. I tried these on at Target and completely fell in love with them, they are very comfortable and surprisingly have a decent amount of support - while raining my piggy toes in, which I didn't think it would do. And for $19.99 these are a great investment (Target is also running a BOGO 50% off on shoes and handbags this weekend, so this is a wonderful opportunity for you to pick up these sandals in yellow and the other colors, just like I did).

So let me know, are you rocking this awesome color? I hope you enjoy it as much as I am this season.
