But it is true that the other day, after I cleaned out my closet for the season (as I told you the other day, it's time to clean out your closet and add a spring touch to your wardrobe), I realized that my winter and summer wardrobes looked the same, except the pieces of clothing were lighter. That's when I decided, once and for all, to add a little color to my look, and the result has been spectacular. Since I have a black wardrobe foundation, any colored or printed top goes with most of my pants and skirts. Here are some pieces that are worth the investment if you want to add a touch of color to your wardrobe:

•  A large, colorful silk scarf
•  A floral silk blouse
•  An electric blue dress
•  Jeans in yellow, coral, sky blue or light pink – why not?
•  A dress with silver or gold embroidery

Be bold – you'll see the difference in your look in no time…
