2015 should be known as the year of color. And when it comes to work wear, color saturation has the market cornered. These vivid pieces help whoever is wearing them command the room, but are not so bold that they wear you.

When you were a little girl, what was your favorite dress? The somber black one? The conservative navy one? I’m betting not. More than likely it was bright and cheery. Just because we are grown-ups doesn’t mean we have to discard the fun of color.
