There's something about brown that Girlawhirl just can't get enough of this spring. Maybe it's because there's been so much focus on and conversation about the Earth, and other colors inspired by nature, like green and yellow, are so much a part of the color scheme for spring. But whatever it is, Girlawhirl's grabbing her brown pants and dresses more often then her usual black these days. And she's noticing it more and more in the stores. Here a few of her favorites: for work and for play…
• An easy look for the office that Girlawhirl can pop with a colorful handbag and pair of shoes, this striped faux wrap dress starts to work now and can get her all the way through to September.

• Dressier, but still right on because of the floral print and mix of pink with taupe and brown, Girlawhirl can see herself pairing this pretty dress with a dark brown cardigan for the office and then taking it off when she meets her friends after work.

• For a summer wedding, Girlawhirl loves the print on this blouson dress with spaghetti straps. The mix of brown, mustard, gold and ochre in the oversized floral is sophisticated without being too dramatic and like nothing she's ever seen before.

• Somehow, a dark brown pant feels and looks fresh to Girlawhirl during the spring and summer. She loves the way it pairs with yellow and green – two standout colors this year – but also thinks that dark brown with a crisp white shirt or T makes an even more fabulous look.
