Jersey Prep: A Dose of Vitamin C

Following in the footsteps of Tory Burch-our fearless prep leader-the fashion world has embraced fresh-squeezed orange this spring.

While perusing the mall this weekend I was pleased to see this kumquat hue glowing at me through the dioramas. One can embrace the citrus movement and go for a head-to-toe look a la a popsicle, or just pick a piece here or there to brighten up a dull winter wardrobe.

Orange does not have to be a tricky color, as once believed, and you won't necessarily resemble a tangelo if you're not a toothpick either. Color blocking is a great way to mix colors and pink is at the top of my list. I intend to pair together the J. Crew Minnie pants with a petal pink cashmere sweater. So what if I resemble a fruit salad?! Just have fun with it!!! For a more subtle approach try navy. With a pair of skinny jeans and a navy cardi, Tory Burch's polo would complete a fabulous weekend ensemble. Avoid black though, you don't want to look too eager for Halloween.

Mixed with everything from lemon to lavender and in an array of items ranging from watch bands to wellies, there is bound to be something for everyone.

Here are a few of my favorites...
