How to Wear Bright Colors

How to Wear Bright Colors



Spring 2008 fashion is alive with color! From brilliant fuschia to bright yellow, you'll see color everywhere as warm weather approaches. Some people have the skin and hair to compliment these colors beautifully while others look pale and washed out when matched with these brilliant shades. If you fall into the latter category but still love the look, here are some ways to wear bright colors even if you aren't a physical perfect match.









Step
1



Wear them with more flattering shades

One alternative is to buy a printed blouse that has splashes of bright color against a background of more muted colors that are flattering to you. Using this approach you'll get a hint of color while avoiding that washed out look. Another strategy is to wear a bright color away from your face, such as a fuschia shade of skirt teamed with a blouse in a more neutral shade such as navy, black, cream, or white. This will give you a hint of color without overpowering your complexion. Another colorful fashion idea is to wear a brightly colored top with a jacket or blazer in a shade you're already accustomed to wearing. This will give your current wardrobe a nice color update without spending a lot of money.




Step
2



Choose the right shade

Sometimes being able to wear a certain color involves choosing the right shade. Don't assume because you can't wear one shade of yellow, that yellow is off limits to you from a fashion standpoint. Experiment with different shades and see if you can find one that's colorful, yet flattering to you.




Step
3



Choose bright accessories

If you don't feel comfortable wearing this season's colors as clothing, choose a colorful belt and matching pair of shoes to dress up your black pantsuit. Add a handbag in the same color and you'll be right in style. Colorful scarves are also an excellent way to experiment with a new color and look for the season.




Step
4



Don't overdo it

Even if bright colors look fantastic on you, resist the urge to overdo the look. Too much color can be fashion overkill. Intermixing bright colors with more subdued shades gives a classier, more elegant look. Even a small touch of bright color can be enough to carry the look. Plus, you'll probably grow weary of seeing those bright colors in your closet once the trend passes so resist the urge to overbuy.

How to Wear Bracelets with Style

How to Wear Bracelets with Style



Bracelets can enhance an outfit as well as a nicely manicured hand. They're particularly attractive in the summer when you have a sun kissed
skin
tone


which can play up the look of a simple gold bracelet on the wrist. Bracelets are immensely versatile and can give your wardrobe a huge style boost. Here's how to wear bracelets with style and panache.









Step
1



Enhance The Colors Of Your Outfit.

Colored

bracelets


, particularly lucite ones, are hot for Spring 2008. You'll find them in a brilliant array of colors to complement the bold, graphic color designs being shown for spring. Buy a top in some of the new flattering spring colors along with several lucite bracelets in matching shades. Wear two or three colored lucite bracelets with your top and you'll be right in style for spring.




Step
2



Show Off Sun Kissed Skin.

Nothing shows off skin gently darkened by the sun (or self tanner if you want to avoid sun damage) than gold bracelets. Keep it simple by playing up your tan with a 14K gold cuff bracelet or one of two gold bangle bracelets. You can even add a delicate, gold ankle bracelet to your ankle when you head out the door in your shorts or casual skirt.




Step
3



Play Up Your Manicure.

If you just got a manicure and are anxious to show off your hands, choose a colorful bracelet that complements your nail polish or stick with one or two gold or silver bangles to highlight your hands and perfectly shaped nails. After you've spent all that time and money on a manicure, you need to make sure people notice your freshly buffed hands.




Step
4



Wear A Functional Bracelet.

If you want a bracelet that's more than a bracelet, buy a bangle watch that will not only show off your hands and wrists but will keep you aware of the time. You can find bangle watches at all price levels from high end gold and silver designer bangle watches to fun, casual ones you can wear every day. It's a great alternative to a boring wristwatch.




Step
5



Make Your Own.

It's super easy to make your own bracelets. Buy stretch cord from your local craft or bead store. Head to a bead store and choose from a colorful array of beads to slide onto the cord. Once you've added your beads, tie two square knots and secure with a drop of Krazy glue to give added strength. Your bracelet is now ready to wear. Watch out! This can become addictive. You'll want a stretch bracelet for every outfit.

How to Wear Black without Looking Goth

How to Wear Black without Looking Goth



Black---the color that connotes power, elegance, and mystery. It's the color of pagan sorceresses, French dames, and Beatniks alike. But there are ways to wear black without seeming like you just stepped out of a costume party. Here are some surefire suggestions:









Step
1



*Wear it sparingly: The deadliest sin of sporting black is sporting too much of it. As slimming as black may be, it can tremendously unflattering in other respects. Excessive black makes olive skin look sallow and pale skin look cadaverous. Achieve the same slimming effect that black offers with fresh alternatives, like navy blue, chocolate, deep emerald, and dark burgundy. These colors also match black extremely well, as do red, white, and sunshine yellow. In fact, all colors except for pastels go with black.




Step
2



*Accessorize accordingly: It's easy to look too Halloweenish in black with the wrong accessories, so consider something before you just throw it on. Smarten black up with classic gold and silver jewelry---nothing overtly trendy or shockingly medieval. A scarf in another color, such as a regal jewel tone, is a timeless addition to any black ensemble. Cute shoes punch up a black outfit, too, but steer clear from anything clunky, too chunky, or blatantly Goth. Instead, go for girly stilettos, ballet flats, or stylish sandals.




Step
3



*Choose shoes in another color: Black shoes are too easy to fall back onto. Spruce up a black dress with gray boots. Red or even purple stilettos are splendid eye-poppers. But if you do decide to wear black shoes after all, don't pair them with black hosiery and a black a skirt. Remember to incorporate enough color into the rest of the outfit.




Step
4



*Avoid heavy make-up: Keep your face subtle. Choose to accentuate either the mouth or eyes---not both. Bright
eye
shadow


should be paired with neutral lipstick; big red lips should accompany light mascara. Bright eye shadow and red lips in combination will seem too theatrical. Most importantly, avoid wearing too much dark make-up and avoid black lipstick altogether. Black nail polish is only appropriate with lighter make-up in the face, like brown eyeliner only.




Step
5



*Pair funky hosiery with a black dress: Of course the little black dress is a classic, but classics can quickly become boring if worn too predictably. Textured tights, fun knee socks, colorful leggings, or legwarmers can add an interesting twist to any black dress. Plain black hosiery, however, with a black dress is too much black. But if you can't afford to buy new hosiery right now, break up the black with a different color, in the form of a belt, scarf, bold necklace, or shoes.







Tips & Warnings









Black doesn't only belong to subculture worshippers! Bring it out into the mainstream and rock it with great accessories and other colors in the mix.

Buy black jeans that hug your figure. This is usually the most flattering look.

Step
3



Wear slim black jeans with a white long tunic top for a casual effect.

Step
10

Throw on a sundress, T-shirt dress or even a sweater dress, with skinny black jeans. This is the modern alternative to wearing tights.







Tips & Warnings









Dare to wear your black jeans with navy accessories. While this used to be a fashion faux pas, the combination is now acceptable and even chic.








Find black jeans that fit extremely well (or have them tailored for a perfect fit). This can make you look 10 lbs. slimmer!








Steer clear of black jeans that have such a low rise that they gap when you you sit.








Be careful when matching different blacks. Black comes in varying shades that don't always work together.

Using a shock collar on your kids is wrong? Huh. . . And they can't call it a "club" anymore either. It looks like he doesn't believe he will ever tie or beat Sampras' record. Los autos son mi vida, me encantan y mas los deportivos. It's not a matter of the playing surface anymore not as quite exciting as last year's superbowl. Wow, Federer really just beat himself in the final set. It was really sad to see him crying afterward. He says, increasingly, migrants from the Horn of Africa also are arriving in Libya and risking their lives to get to Europe. I don't know that they make a shock collar for a nut sack but my objections are flexible if used on this guy. maybe some of this will sink in for me. All too soon, they realize that it's not real.
