FOR BABES...Choosing colors
- For a quick start, select hues next to each other on the color wheel (i.e. red and orange).
- Or you may match complementary colors (i.e. purple and red, orange and blue, or orange and pink).
- To make an impression, try similar colors of the same intensity (i.e. turquoise and navy).
Keep it simple
- Try bright pants with a neutral blouse OR pair two colorful items on top with a neutral bottom.
- Find a piece that’s already color blocked for you. Choose a skirt, dress, or top that mixes two colors in the same family. Don’t you love it when it’s that easy?
- Love wearing black and can’t get enough of it? Just add a pop of color!
Tricks to Try
- Bright colors will attract attention from darker ones. If you’re trying to hide that muffin top, try this trick: wear a bright jacket and dark pants to defer attention from your hips. It’ll minimize the look of your waistline.
- You can also use this concept to camouflage a large chest or any other curve you want to go poof!
Accesorize
- If you’ve already got two colors going, a third color can be added via accessories from the opposite side of the color wheel.
- Unify colors with a print to add another dimension.
- If you want just a touch, try a color blocked purse and/or heels that complement your outfit.
- For a look that’s already bold, neutral accessories can tie your look together.
