How do you feel about color? Do you shy away from it and douse yourself in neutrals (black on black on black)? Do you like to add one pop of color (khaki shirt dress with a purple scarf)? Or, are you more like Emma Pillsbury (Glee), pairing unique colors for a quirky look? If you follow this blog, you know that Jess and I lean more towards the Emma Pillsbury style. In fact, before Jayma Mays's character disappeared from Glee, I watched the show to get inspiration from her looks. And I know that I am not the only one. (Check out What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear? Cute blog!).
The reason I bring this up is because I have twice now been questioned at work about my color pairings. Today was a pair of dark teal cropped pants with a gold cardigan and turquoise necklace. The other day was a coral cardigan, mint trousers and a yellow necklace. A few weeks back, I wore a sky blue pencil skirt and a lilac blouse. Even though my color combinations might catch some people off guard, I think that combining unexpected colors keeps your closet interesting. Here are some of my favorite unsuspecting color combinations that I encourage you to mimic this spring.
{Great use of red, blue and yellow on J's Everyday Fashion}
{Yellow and pink paired with neutrals - All Women Stalk}
{Green, pink and orange - Risky Fashion on Jewelry Gal Blog}
{Mint, orange, yellow and gold - Brown-Eyed Belle Julie}
Be adventurous this spring. Try out one of these color combinations and get more use out of those loud pieces and let your basic neutrals take a break!
