Fresh Color Combo for Spring: Teal and Coral

After a long harsh winter, I'm totally excited to see the beginning of spring in New York! Nice weather, outdoor activities, flowers blooming, and perhaps most importantly, Spring Fashion! I don't know about you guys, but sometimes winter starts to feel like a blur of dark colors: black, gray, navy, etc. While those are great, I love to celebrate spring by going all out with bright colors! A great combo to try out is Teal and Coral. These colors are complementary, so they're just dying to be paired together! I've put together 4 outfits showcasing this great pair.

Outfit #1: Picnic on the Quad
Coral and Teal: Picnic


Abercrombie & Fitch vintage top / Gathered skirt, $23 / Gioseppo leather shoes, $41 / J.Crew j crew / Forever 21 / KBL Eyewear vintage aviator sunglasses / Forever 21 fedora

The weather is warming up, and the days are getting longer. Spring is the perfect time for hanging outside with friends! This outfit is great for a day spent lounging on the quad. The teal tank tucked into a coral maxi skirt provides a stylish, yet laid back look. Slip on sandals allow for easy on-and-off action, because let's face it, who doesn't love to feel the grass under their toes? Accessorize with a teal arrow arm cuff and statement necklace in coral to add some extra oomph. Blocking yourself from the sun doesn't mean skimping on style, grab some aviator sunglasses and a straw fedora with playful coral lace.

Outfit #2: Class is in Session

Coral And Teal: School


People Tree , $54 / Current/Elliott skinny leg jeans, $115 / White strappy sandals, $20 / Coach handbag / Turquoise sunglasses, $15

Much to the dismay of students, we have to be in class no matter how nice the weather is. If you need a little more coverage for those freezing lecture halls, this is the look for you. Pair a peplum flower print shirt with a coordinating teal jean. Nothing beats the comfort of a cotton shirt with jeans, but now you won't have to sacrifice style. Pair with white sandals to show off your spring pedicure! Of course you'll need a bag for class, but don't feel limited to a backpack, you can tote your books around (pun intended) in this cute tote with a coral stripe. Walking from class to class, these teal sunglasses will look adorable AND keep the sun out of your eyes.

Outfit #3: Girls Night Out


Coral and Teal: Girls Night Out


Peplum top, $31 / Vero Moda mini skirt, $26 / Kitsch couture, $46 / Miu Miu / Fantasy Jewelry Box pink bracelet / Jennifer Meyer Jewelry bracelet ring / Amrita Singh yellow gold jewelry / Lori's Shoes lori s shoes

Spring also marks that time in the semester right between midterms and finals where you just might have time to go out. For a girls night out, try this feminine look. A peplum top paired with a pencil skirt provides a touch of class while the colors and patterns scream fun! Add in a pair of coral pumps with gold accents and a teal clutch with gold zippers and you're good to go. Girls night is the perfect occasion to overdose on jewelry, so take this opportunity to play off the gold accents in the accessories. Gold feather earrings frame your face, while the heart and flower rings give your outfit an extra dose of girly flair. Finish off with a stack of gold and coral bangles to pull everything together.

Outfit #4: Beach Day
Coral and Teal: Beach


Full Tilt sheer top / Distressed denim shorts / River Island , $15 / H&M h m, $20 / American Eagle Outfitters american eagle outfitter / Roberta Roller Rabbit / BP. heart shaped sunglasses

While it feels like winter just ended, summer is just around the corner! Before you know it, it will be time to hit the beach (and bring your good pals teal and coral with you!). Mix and match in your bathing suit with this fun teal bandeau top and coral bottom. This flowy button down shirt is perfect for a beach cover up. Button it up all the way, leave it open, or somewhere in between, totally up to you. Throw a pair of denim shorts on top, and you're wearing a full outfit. Don't forget your flip-flops and beach bag, vital parts of the day. To show off your fun-loving personality, don these adorable heart sunglasses.
