How to Wear Color!!!

1.) Color on top of more color:

For this look I took a bright lavender dress with neon, tri-colored polka dots, and added a colorful yellow scarf and colorful yellow flats.

2.) Color separated by a neutral:

For this look I was inspired by an abstract form of pinup style. My ethnic background prevents me from doing pin up style very literal, I don't have the teeny waist or hair that can be put in a cute up do so its a more abstracted style, inspired from the 40s and 50s.

3.) Color POP!

A great way to wear color is to have a neutral outfit head to toe, layer neutral on top of neutral, with a neutral shoe, then add pops of bright color with your accessories. For this outfit I wore a nude lace dress, with a nude colored trench jacket and leopard print pumps. (Animal prints are a great nude substitution if you don't want your outfit to look completely dull, just stick to the natural colored prints.)

4.) Neons!

I always like to offset neons with solid colors and darks. For this look I paired a neon graphic tank top, with white jeans and gingham button down and half tuxedo blazer. An old pair of chucks and chunky chain necklace completed the look.

Pants: Express

Earrings: Macy's Chicago, my John got them for me on our first vacation.

Tuxedo Blazer: Target

5.) Monotonous Color

For this look I found two colors that go well together and used one of the colors for my whole outfit and the other color that complement as a secondary element, the necklace. Coral and Turquoise were a huge hit this summer and they were everywhere. So those are the colors I used for this outfit, a bright coral resort blouse with a bright coral bandage skirt. Paired with nude accessories and nude shoes, for this look you really want the focus to be the clothes, opposite from look 3 where the accessories were the focus.
