Lets get this started, Today I am wearing some bright colors. Looking at me, you may say... "now how does that match at all?" Well, you're right, normally this oufit would look a bit ridiculous if I were to be barefoot the whole day, but lucky for me my outfit today revolves around one of my favorite things in the world. SHOES. My Steve Madden wedges are the glue to this entire outfit. Alot of times picking out an outfit is easiest when one article of clothing or accessory is a MUST on a certain day. I pulled the brightest colors from the stripes of the wedge to make this outfit come together.
My shorts are from INC (at Macy's), shirt is from Marshalls, jacket is from H&M, necklace is from Charming Charlies, and shoes are Steve Madden.

Now time for one of my favorite parts of getting dressed and the part where my imagination takes over... accessory time!! With such a bright outfit today I decided to keep the accessories simple. My orange necklace is one of my favorites. Its bold and bright and can pop any color shirt. I usually match my necklaces with either my belt color, or a prominent color in my shirt Matching accessories is extremely important and can go terribly wrong very quick. Always match the necklaces you choose with a color that is not overpowering in the look, but make sure the color is making a big enough appearence to tie the look together. Now for my hat. I am a hat lover and try to wear them as often as I can. This hat from Charming Charlies is perfect for this look. It is simple and doesn't distract you from the three main colors of the outfit. With colorful outfits, make sure the accessories work and blend together. Keep the oranges close to the oranges (like with the necklace and the lining of the shirt) and keep the whites close to the whites (the hat and the shirt) it allows the eye to capture all of the color is one look and makes the colors blend and mesh perfectly.
Now time to mix it up a bit again. What if I wanted to wear this outfit to meet my friends in the city...my last choice of shoes would be my Steve Madden wedges. So what's a color crazed girl to do? Keeping with matching colors properly, I chose mid-calf, white, Polo socks and my gold, sparkled, Prada sneakers. (I will never forget opening these up on my 19th birthday) My necklace has gold accents, so my sneakers go great. I am a big fan of the mid-calf sock trend that is happening right now. I dare every one of you to wear a pair of mid-calves the next time you wear a pair of fun sneakers or closed toed shoes. Trust me, you wont regret it.
Next time you're feeling happy and spontaneous, dig through your closet and drawers and pull out the most colorful things you see, whether it be a pair of shoes, a jacket, or your brand new necklace. Mix and match the colors until you find the right combo and rock it. Who cares if you turn heads, thats what fashion is all about. Have fun with it, and go outside your comfort zone!!!
Enjoy~
