Contrasting Palettes

Something I'm really enjoying about this summers trends is that people are becoming less afraid of bright colours. In the past, bright colours, especially a few at once, were worn by the bold. Now colour blocking and mixing a bright palette of colours is the new hip thing and I love it!

So I decided to take these colours one step further. Why not pair contrasting colours? They look fantastic together and can give any outfit a punch of artsy flare. The following outfits show these colours in a dramatic way, but pair contrasting colours with neutrals, and they look just as wonderful!

Orange & Blue
























Dress, Heels, Clutch, Earrings, Ring, Bracelet


Coral &Aqua
























Shirt, Shrug, Skirt, Sandals, Necklace, Purse


Purple & Yellow
























Romper, Sandals, Purse, Headband, Necklace, Bracelet


Remember this summer to try and take some black out of your regular wear. In stead of matching a yellow shirt with a pair of jeans, try a purple skirt. Got a favourite blue dress? Pair it with orange! It's fun to try and mix colours without using neutrals. The summer is probably the best time to show your colours, so let the world see them!
