Spring Awakening

Mobile’s winter can be harsh — no, not in a bone-chilling cold, blinding blizzard kind of way, but in a dull drizzle, muggy gray kind of way. While our cold season is relatively short compared to the rest of the world, the dreariness outside makes it seem to last forever. For some reason, this seems to have a drastic effect on my style.
From the start of December through the end of February, my wardrobe is full of blacks, navys and grays. At first, these outfits start out a classic, chic and sophisticated, but about midway through the season they start to become stale, boring and monotonous. And I start to daydream about the promising bursts of color that spring runway shows have foreshadowed.
This spring’s color palette seems to be a combo of both bold and pastel hues. According to Pantone, some of the pigments sure to saturate your closets this spring include: Tangerine Tango, a bright, zesty orange; Cabaret, a rosy-red sophisticated pink; Cockatoo, a refreshing aquamarine; Sodalite Blue, a dark hue that can act as a neutral; and Solar Power, an energizing burst of yellow.
Local stores are already chockfull of “early spring” items in these hues. Before you head out shopping, check out my Pinterest board, “Pins from Mallory” on MobileBayMag’s account, to get inspired!
