Color Story: Hot Hues for Spring

It seems like everything’s coming up rainbows these past few days. With the onset of spring and everyone excited to finally see some sunshine, it’s no surprise that as I’m browsing the Motives Instagram feed, I’ve come across nothing but bright, fresh hues telling a color story of refreshing proportions. I think everyone can agree with me when I say that it’s time to brighten up and look for the beauty in the world. So here’s a bit of inspiration, beginning with these colorful looks on anything you can get a brush on. Let’s get bold, bright and beautiful in celebration of the new season. xo
