Speaking of Color.. Part 2


5 Tips to add color to your wardrobe:

1. If you're not completely ready to jump in, start with a simple solid piece to add a pop of color. A nice bright sweater over a white shirt paired with jeans is a no-brainer. Coordinate with a colorful small earrings or a bright complementing lip color.

2. Accessories are a great way to add color without the cost of a major investment piece. A vivid scarf can brighten up your features and bring some cheer to your basic winter coat.

3.  A neutral color palette lends itself nicely to neons. Creams and nudes look great with hot pinks and reds. Love to wear black? Try a skinny belt in electric yellow or a loud set of bangles
with your next outfit.

4. Remember that neons and brights are a trend. More sophisticated colors will always last longer and seem newer than teenage-looking day glow brights. Before you invest, try the trend on a scale you feel comfortable with. If you love a little color and have a basic wardrobe, then a bright blue coat may be perfect when you throw
on your go-to skinny jeans.

A more sophisticated color combo will take you through more seasons


Stay away from this kind of neon


5. An often-missed but useful tip when it comes to brights: Don't forget about make up. Even a brighter blush or a brighter red lip
for Fall can update your look.
