I love color. Every now and then, I try to do the chic dark-neutrals look...and I like how easy it is to look put together in those colors...but it just feels wrong to me. I need color in my outfit to make me feel bright and happy!
This outfit has one of my favorite color schemes in it: purple and red. Occasionally, I go crazy with colorblocking, but I decided to separate the two colors with jeans for a more subdued look. These red heels have been with me for the past few years or so; somehow they add a fun pop of color to almost every outfit. I think every girl should have a pair of red or red-orange shoes to spice up any blah outfit! The head scarf was added for a bit of an unexpected color. I always think it's interesting to add an element that doesn't quite match... (But then again, sometimes I remind myself of that crazy art teacher we all probably had in elementary school...)
A very nice streamlined look! Love those bright shoes!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the floral headband with the purple top and coral shoes. Great combo!

I totally know how you feel! Since moving to NYC, I've tried to dress more chic and neutral and it makes me not as happy. I'm all about color! Love the purple + orange combo!

Great idea to separate the brights. I think I need a pair of red shoes now ... :)
ReplyDeleteI love that purple blouse! And I love little pops of color...cause I am not brave enough to do big splashes of bright color, but I am working on it.
