How to wear brights!

Sure, monochromatic has its time, but in the blahs of winter, a pop (or two) of color is your new best friend. Whether it be a jacket, purse, belt, or all of the above: just about anything will work. Remember: bright colors can be very forgiving, and they always look good. Here are some tips to get you started:

• Clashing is cool! Don't be afraid to mix brights, as long as the colors are complimenting.
  
• Nail polish and jewelery are a great way to add a splash of color!
• Don't be afraid of patterns! They make a colorful outfit a lot more interesting!
• If you feel a little color shy, try pairing the colors with a more neutral piece, like a  grey cardigan.
