Vibrant hues will put anyone in a good mood for the occasion, and who wouldn't be already? If you're wearing a bright dress, offset it with a pair of patterned shoes to give your ensemble more texture.

If you're wearing a dress with floral details, play into the accent colors by wearing a pair of boots in coordinating tones.

If you'd prefer not to wear florals for the occasion, gingham is a great print for spring too. For a more casual event, layer on a denim jacket to dress the look down.

For some creative dressing, wear a button-down dress as an open tunic over a pair of skinny jeans to get the most out of your clothes. You'll be the coolest one in the room.
