Background. Remember when you thought that your top had to match your shoes, or that black didn't go with brown, or when the idea of pink and red together in one outfit made you cringe? It wasn't too long ago that I subscribed to these fashion 'rules' myself. That is until I discovered that fashion, specifically color combinations in fashion, is much more fluid than the 'no black and brown together' mentality. Fashion is about pushing boundaries and one of the most direct ways to do this is with unexpected color combinations.
Are you trembling in your fashion boots (that are perfectly coordinated with your fashion bag)? Don't. Just follow along as I dive in and provide you with some unexpectedly colorful fashion inspiration.
Objective. To style four completely different looks using unexpected color combinations to provide excitement to my wardrobe and (hopefully) inspiration to my readers.
Methods. Create four fashionable outfits with a focus on combining colors in an unexpected way. Take photos and record my feelings, others' reactions/complements (if any), comfort, confidence, and overall experience. I hope to push myself to try new things and inspire my readers to get creative with color.(image)
I am so guilty of those old fashion "rules"! I'm excited to see what you share and all your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI want to see what you come up with! I LOVE bright colors and bold dressing, so I always love a little extra inspiration! I wore hot pink tights and a jewel-toned purple wrap to work on Monday...I should have taken pictures of it, haha. I'm not sure if it was "fashionable," but it was colorful!
ReplyDeletewow i wish i could see a picture of that! maybe you should be running this experiment!!!
DeleteThis one should be fun! I stink at putting color in my wardrobe - black and white is a classic for a reason - but maybe you'll help me break out of the rut.
ReplyDeletei'll do my best doll.
DeleteCan't wait to see what you come up with! My wardrobe could definitely use a dose of color...it contains far too much tan, black, gray, and brown!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! I only wear white, grey, black, and blue. With the occasional pink and red. I can't wait to see what color combos and outfits you chose!
ReplyDeletewow you are very specific with the colors you choose. i hope i can come up with something decent!
DeleteI'm excited to see this! I wear black and brown together all the time.
ReplyDeleteOoh colour is such a tricky one for me because I don't just worry about combinations but I am also aware that some colours will totally wash me out and just not work, and others will be too garish and so on and so forth, so I can't wait for the results of this experiment!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love this!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to start incorporating more color into my wardrobe. I tend to stick to the same palate of black, white, greys, and maroon/pink. So random.
I can't wait to see what you put together!
Oh, and I used to SWEAR by the "no wearing black with brown" rule. But, I gave up on that a few months ago. Thank goodness.
haha! forget that rule. black and brown really do work together!
Deleteyou always have the cutest outfits! can't wait! I should send you a photo of this new jacket I bought and then you can style me ;-)
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks!
DeleteI can't wait to see what you come up with, I need some new inspiration!

I love this, I need to try it out!! My outfits are never as cute as yours are but I will try!! My sister was a fashion design and merchandising major so she always tells me how the rules are not rules anymore and I freak out about it!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for this experiment! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I love seeing (though haven't mastered for myself) the art of mixing tones of color: muted / bright / neon / royal ...
