Now that Pantone has released the official color report for fall 2012, and the autumn runways are underway, Fashionistas can start making educated buying decisions when it comes to items that can be worn now and into the fall season. One of the biggest spring trends is the solid colored pump. The solid colored pump is an easy way to incorporate fall colors into a spring wardrobe since the solid colored pump trend is continuing into fall 2012.

Since color is an important trend, when shopping for spring pumps it is important to make wise color choices. By purchasing colors for spring which are part of the fall color palette, a savvy-shopper can save money on shoes by not having to purchase new pumps for the fall season! Love it!

We love the fall color palette which contains many shades that can be found on store shelves this season. Our favorite colors to invest in for the spring and fall seasons? We love bright blue, green, rose and Tangerine. The perfect neutral is the pale grey as it plays well with spring’s bright colors, blends easily with pastels and is one of the hottest neutral hues on the fall 2012 runways. Love that!

We found pumps in every one of Pantone’s fall color palette from the current spring collections around the web and assembled them into the Polyvore set below. Hope you love it! Happy shopping and stay fabulous

This has made pastels the hottest alternative to bright colors for the spring 2012 season. One of the easiest ways to incorporate pastels into your daily wardrobe is through pastel colored gemstones and jewelry.
