The gorgeous wrap dress is from Leona Edmiston. She has fabulous pieces to suit all shapes and sizes and very feminine. I'm a fan. :-)Gessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037150164458745988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542263657337458403.post-49829767976985494812014-02-07T09:51:47.500+00:002014-02-07T09:51:47.500+00:00Yes that does make sense thanks very much - the lo...Yes that does make sense thanks very much - the look seemed very "chopped up" as if into discrete bands rather than having any flow or continuity - by the way - where is that green wrap dress from?

Good ques...Hello Dionne, thankyou for your comment. Good question. When introducing colour in your work wear is new to you, it can be overwhelming. There really is no hard fast rules about what colours to put together and when to add contrast because it depends on the individual and their tastes. The secret is in experimenting. It is true that matchy matchy as you described above with the "bee" look can be a negative rather than a positive. The one thing I will say is stay away from too many bold primary colours together. Mixing the right "hues" together are important. For example the bright yellow shoes(primary colour) could have been matched with burnt orange and/or deep purple or blood red(hues of primary colours). A contrast colour may also just be the shoes or jewellery and the rest remains neutral. With experimentation, you will discover that certain colours or particular tones of a colour do suit you best and make you feel good and hence you can combine them together which will look fabulous on you and yet not on others. Does this all make sense? I hope this helped. More than happy to elaborate further.
