With winter on its way out, who wouldn’t love to get away for a warm and exotic vacation? May we suggest an African safari? Okay, so maybe the funds for a safari trip aren’t on most people’s recession budget-friendly minds, but adding a little adventure into your wardrobe is more than affordable. The key is to start with neutral tones in beige, brown, and green as a base and then layer from there.

For a modern twist on the traditional, look to Burberry for inspiration. Start by pairing a khaki dress with a khaki trench coat. To add a pop of color to this monotone outfit, pair it with a thick vibrant belt. If you’re more adventurous and love to live life in color, look to Diane von Furstenberg for your sartorial clues -- mix and match animal print dresses with a printed cardigan on top. To ensure the combination isn’t too overpowering, tone it down by adding a solid colored jacket in a neutral hue. For a finishing touch, cinch the waist with a thick belt. Happy hunting for your next chic Safari find!
