WIWW {how to wear color}

Hello friends! It’s Wednesday and I’m linking up with Lindsey at the Pleated Poppy for some fashion inspiration.
This week I’m sharing some ideas about how to wear color.
Outfit #1, Jeans, the Limited via TJ Maxx. Sweater, Anthropolgie. Large beaded necklace, souvenir from England last summer. Sun droplet necklace, my shop.Shoes, Target a couple years ago.This outfit was easy and fun. I love red and yellow together. Don’t you?Outfit #2. These pants are seriously so comfortable I could wear them every day. Skinny cords, Anthropologie. Birdie blouse, Target. Sweater, Target.Gray wedges, Target.And one of my fave necklaces, the Family Tree.Outfit #3. Orange! I didn’t know I could love orange so much. Flowy top, H&M. Jeans, Anthropolgie. Cream cardi, Urban Outfitters. Turquoise cuff, thrifted.I love that cuff–and I got so many compliments on it. Orange and turquoise turned out to be a perfect combo. Brand new ‘My Dear’ necklace can be found here in my shop.And these boots? Yep, love them. Lotta from Stockholm.

A couple tips for wearing color…

1. Have fun. Color adds spice to life.
2. Ground your outfit with a more serious color. Dark jeans or a gray sweater can keep the outfit from getting too crazy.
3. Mix two bright colors that compliment each other well. The yellow sweater was even more fun with a chunky red necklace. And I love pairing orange with turquoise.
4. Ultimately wear what you like. Isn’t that what fashion is all about?

What is your favorite vibrant color to wear?

  3. Lisa,

  6. I love wearing a bright green!

    I think that Vanessa Williams’ character was wearing your boots on “Desperate Housewives” last weekend!

  7. I really love you in orange Lisa, it makes you absolutely GLOW! Gorgeous..

    My favourite vibrant colour has always been red, lately I’ve also been drawn to rich magenta and lime green (not necessarily together! LOLOL although they would look fabulous!) Hugs

  8. I love these outfits! Each of the colourful pieces are unbelievable – so chic and fun! Those green pants are killer, congrats on pulling them off.
