How to Transition Your Color Palette for Spring (Without Feeling Limited)

Spring is here! 🌸 Flowers are blooming, the days are longer, and suddenly you feel the itch to shake up your wardrobe. But if you’ve ever thought, “My palette feels too dark or fall-like for spring,” you’re not alone. This is one of the most common concerns we hear from clients this time of year.

In this episode of Midlife Moxie, we (Jen and Gail) tackle this question head-on and show you how you can absolutely stay within your palette — even if you’re soft, warm, or deep — and still look fresh, bright, and seasonally appropriate. 

Watch the full episode below:

🎯 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

✅ Why Your Palette is More Flexible Than You Think

Your palette is your guide, not a limitation. Even if your fan leans into autumnal tones, there are plenty of ways to lighten and freshen it up without stepping outside of your ideal color range.

✅ Lighten Up Without Losing Depth

Spring invites us to wear lighter colors, but lighter doesn't have to mean pastel. We show you how to "go lighter" within your palette without ending up washed out.

✅ The Magic of Neutrals, Textures, and Fabrics

The secret to seasonal wardrobe shifts? Neutrals and texture! Linen, cotton, and even suede take on a whole new life in spring. Learn how to work with what you already have.

✅ Patterns Make the Difference

Patterns aren’t just for bold personalities — they’re your secret weapon! Discover how to choose patterns that match your color temperature, contrast level, and personal style.

✅ Addressing Color “Fear”

We dive into the controversial colors like yellow and orange and explain why most women actually can wear them — and how to make them work for you.

🥂 Key Takeaways:

• Learn how to shop intentionally for spring without starting over.

• Avoid common mistakes like grabbing a pastel just because it’s trending.

• How your neutrals, patterns, and accessories can bring spring energy to your wardrobe.

• Why you don't have to be “trendy” to look seasonally fresh (but understanding trends helps you shop smarter).

• Confidence is everything — and a little color can go a long way.
