Three's A Trend: Coral Blouses

Honeysuckle may be Pantone's color of the year for 2011, but the color I'm seeing more often on celebs and in stores this spring is coral, from faded rusty shades to vibrant strawberry oranges. Combine the bold hue with a soft blouse and you've got two of spring's hottest trends in one stylish piece.

Here, five coral blouses under $50.
