Go Bright for Spring

If you want to make a statement this spring, start with your shoes. Designers are turning to the feet for a colorful foundation to rest their clothes on. To style with ease, pair the bright kicks with a neutral bag or muted accessories. For a bold choice, turn to the fundamentals of art school and couple with complementary colors: yellow heels sit nicely with a perfectly purple handbag.
