adding pops of color...

color is showing up on the runways...in the stores...such a big part of the trends this coming season...so the question is..."how do you get more confident adding pops of color to your wardrobe?"

for those of us with "abundant black disorder" it may be daunting to think of adding color into our wardrobes...but there are easy ways for the color-shy to begin incorporating a few brighter elements...

first...just try adding your favorite color in an accessory - like a handbag or shoes or maybe a scarf...maybe you will add a blouse or other underpinning in a color that complements your complexion...

if you're feeling bolder with color combos...try combining colors on the opposite sides of the color wheel, i.e. violet and yellow...blue and orange...remember...with so many shades of one color..start small...for example...violet with bright yellow may seem daunting...but look at a pale version of yellow...and a color scheme within the purple family...

on a scale of 1 to 10...how comfortable do you feel wearing color? are you at the..."i can add it in a scarf...perhaps"...or are you at the full on..."give me two bold colors to put together"?
