I am definitely an art lover (thanks to my parents, who founded the premier African-American art show in New Jersey) so the idea of wearable art is absolutely appealing to my senses. This Spring, designers have brought paint from the canvas to the cloth. From watercolors to modern abstract, dresses, bags and blouses are splattered, smothered and covered in streaks of color.

You can get the look for less by picking up one of these Simply Vera pieces, which are conveniently on sale. Get inspired. (See Simply Vera inspired dress from Kohls).

You can shop the entire Simply Vera Spring 2008 collection from Vera Wang at Kohls online. However, if possible, I would suggest checking out the line in-store, where you can get a better idea about the look, fit and feel.
