Spice Up Your Life!

I know many of you who are living in an endless tunnel of gray dreary days and long for the warmth of Spring and the joy of Summer to come and come fast. This sadness might lead you to a life of wearing nothing but blacks, grays and dark blues. Well I'm here to inspire you today to kick it up by just adding a PUNCH of color to your wardrobe. I'm NOT saying add on all these colors at once, you'll just end up being confused by a Lisa Frank school binder, but more of if you're wearing all gray one day throw on a pair of bright purple heels to kick it up a notch.

The reds... the reds, to me, look fantastic with almost anything. Red is that color that paired with blacks, grays, whites, blues, nudes ALL favor it. One should always have a bright red piece to jump up and make an outfit.

The greens, reminds me of Spring. Greens look awesome with blacks, grays and nudes. Remember to chose the right green for your skin tone, we dont all look great in all tonalities.

I love the yellows when worn right, they're just so happy and feminine and perky. I love wearing my yellows with also nudes, blacks and grays.This is also another color that not all shades of it look good on everyone. Stay away from the mustard-y yellow if you're olive skinned, it looks bad on us.

Oh pink! I LOVE pink especially like a pink belt in an all-gray outfit, it's stellar. Pink can go either very girly or very punk, depending on your style.

Oh purple! I know purple has been lately all the rage so it's easy to find it around and enjoy it, just dont dress like a purple people eater in purple dress, coat, shoes etc you'll take away from the royal feel of it and overwhelm people. Calm down with is, add it as a blouse, a skirt etc. Purple looks fantastic with grays, it's my favorite combination, it's very classy.

That's it! I hope it inspired you to add some color to your life.
 
Note: I really tried to do orange but you all know how I feel about orange so I got half-way through my collage before I snapped and said "f-this I HATE orange!". :)
