Warmer weather means outdoor patio/deck dining, picnics, farmers markets, and food trucks. With all of the al fresco dining options on the horizon as well as fresh spring produce in store, why not carry epicurean taste over to fashion inspiration? Get your recommended five to nine servings of fruit and vegetables (and save room for dessert!) with these delicious looks:

Slip into a light dress with tiny golden apples or a colorful tomato-patterned skirt for effortless spring style:

From kitchen pantry to jewelry box, these necklaces will have you craving bow tie pasta and tortilla chips without the guilt.

Use a tropical bracelet with candy-bright fruit charms or an ice cream cone coin purse to sweeten up your outfit:

If you’re more interested in the vibrant colors emanating from your plate, try an airy blouse in mint green, or strappy sandals in a bright lemon color:
