Must-Have Spring Brights

Taking a break from the quarantine/social distancing posts to brighten up your computer today! There are so many bright and fun pieces to pick from right now, I’m planning to add some of these to my closet so I am ready for when all this is over. These must-have spring brights, that can most definitely be worn into the summer, not only brighten your closet but also your spirits — which is especially important given our current situation.

It’s difficult to pick a favorite with this colorful combination, but if I were to pick a “first day out of quarantine outfit” I’m thinking it would be something like this tiered floral maxi dress or this hot pink eyelet top. What is your first outfit out of quarantine going to be?! It’s probably sad that it has come to this, but it will for sure be a momentous occasion! Do tell in the comments section below!
