Also the right shade of coral if I can find it.

And Rebecca, thank you for the link to the Pantone Spring designer colors. What fun to look at. I’ve been loving envisioning everyone’s palettes.

It all started when, in my 2nd year of college I decided to veer in a more sophisticated direction wardrobe-wise. One of the ways I did this was to start phasing the colour pink out of my wardrobe, replacing it mostly with neutrals and the occasional dash of red. Recently, I've been favouring mauve when I feel like pastels, or deep, saturated purples. For spring I've been eyeing saturated shades of aqua, with cranberry, mauve, and mint as accents or in prints. A lot of my clothing purchases as of late have been basics in neutral colours so I'm looking forward to adding some fun colours into the mix:) The colours in my wardrobe have been evolving rapidly over the past year or so… It all started when, in my 2nd year of college I decided to veer in a more sophisticated direction wardrobe-wise.

I have a similar swirly dress in mostly blues with a bit of olive and plum. Hope it still fits or will fit. I love the sound of that brown, peacock, tan and olive palette. The palette you showed at the top of the post is very similar to what I'm wearing. I was searching around for a palette to emerge out of my closet and hanging on the back of the door was my now favorite bathrobe - a man's plaid soft robe from Walmart, vanilla, dark camel, some brown, bit of strong mid blue. So that's a lot of what I'm wearing though just the right shade of blue is hard for me to scare up. I think you could throw some bitter orange or rich salmon orange into that palette.

I have a short-sleeved, princess-seamed swirly dress with a paisley pattern in exactly these colors. I wore it with an olive velvet jacket and tall brown boots to church last Sunday. In the spring, I'll wear it with an aqua cardigan or olive/blue jacquard shawl. In the summer--by itself with sandals! It's about the perfect dress, in my mind. (Coldwater Creek--secondhand, $12 early last year. Yippee!) I also love citrus colors in the spring. Soon to move into rotation: a vivid yellow crewneck sweater that I love to wear with jeans, esp. with just a bit of a sherbert orange, lime green, or grapefruit pink t-shirt peeking out at the neck.
