"Soft, pretty pink is having a moment. There are many elevated options, like the dress I'm wearing above. For something more casual, try a crisp white button-down with a pink cashmere sweater over your shoulders. I'm even seeing pool slides and earrings in pink!" — Wright

"Skirts are trending again this season, so find one or two that you love, and it'll instantly upgrade your spring outfits. A current alternative to jeans, different lengths (shorter, knee-length, or midi) give you plenty of options. Try adding a classic white one, which is versatile and super stylish." — Wright
