Olivia Palermo is no doubt a modern day style icon. Here, I picked four outfits of her that are great for early spring: cable knit paired with flared skirt, oversized blazer teamed with sheath dress… The fresh ways she mixes neutrals and modernizes classic wardrobe staples are truly inspiring, hope you enjoy today’s featured looks as much I do!

In Chinese: 纽约名媛Olivia Palermo是毋庸置疑的街拍女王，今天所选的这四个造型很适合早春，像少女风的针织衫和小伞裙的搭配，优雅的西装外套和一字裙的组合等。她对同一颜色在不同色调和材质上的混搭以及对经典单品细节上的关注总是给我们很多灵感。

Red/blue is a classic color combination, naturally, blue jeans are red tops’ best friends. Here, Jamie Chung chose distressed boyfriend version to tone down a structured red blazer while highlighting her beautiful shoes. This look is great for casual occasions where you still want some polish. Nicole Richie’s flared jeans elongated her legs while the retro vibe echoes her contrast trimmed blazer. Change the jeans to a dark washed one, you can wear this to the office too.

In Chinese: 红蓝配是经典配色之一，明暗度和饱和度的不同又可以衍生出很多变化。提到红色外套或小衫，自然会想到配牛仔蓝。想穿得随性又都会感，就选择一条宽松的破洞牛仔裤吧，再加上有设计感的高跟鞋，强烈的反差让人过目不忘；想正式中带些女人味，就选修身的喇叭裤，像Nicole Richie（上图右）的造型，复古感的阔腿裤和滚边外套相呼应，加上尖头鞋和白衬衫就是能点亮办公室的好装扮，想再增加正式感，就换成深色水洗款。

How to wear florals, spring outfit ideas 2014, On Gisele Bundchen: white blazer, zara floral pants, Dolce & Gabbana red sandal, aviator sunglasses; On Sarah Rutson: crop sweater, celine floral pencil skirt, black pump, Valentino studded clutch, Photos: Gisele Bundchen & Sarah Rutson; Courtesy of infphoto.com, elle.com.

What better way to welcome spring than wearing florals? Gisele Bundchen polished up her casual floral pants with crisp white tops while Sarah Rutson made her floral pencil skirt modern with a cropped sweater. This street style shot (above right) of Sarah Rutson was actually took 2 years ago, I fell in love and kept it on file. It inspires me every time I look at it.

In Chinese: 花朵图案的单品最适合迎接春夏了。超模Gisele Bundchen和她家人的每次出街都像是拍大片。上面的这个造新里她用白色西服把休闲感的碎花裤穿得利落又养眼；Sarah Rutson则用短毛衣把花朵包身裙穿出了态度和时尚感。Sarah Rutson的这个时装周期间的街拍造型其实是两年前的，但是我非常喜欢，一直保存着，每次翻出来看都会有不同的启发。
