This season the fashion trends in rigour are not for the faint of heart; therefore, a conscious fashionista must proceed with caution. Recently, I read a post about layering irresponsibly, which was extremely funny and enlightening. So I felt, as a fashionable citizen, that it was my civil duty to raise awareness on another issue, color over-use. I've seen gals on the verge of leaving people color blind due to pigment over exposure. So, for the ones who are Chromatophobic ( fear of color) or the ones that just want (or need!) to tone it down a little there's a solution. Designers are taking nude color and giving them a flair. Now the latest accessories come in natural tones and luscious textures such as patent leather, lace and satin perfect to compliment high pigmented clothing pieces. You can either match a beautiful primary color dress with neutral pumps, which also has the effect of elongating your legs, or pairing a neutral outfit with colorful accessories for a bang. Either way you wear your colors just remember that balance is key. After all, you don't want to look like if a rainbow had vomited all over you ( see exhibit A below).
Exhibit A:
Fined! for color over-use AND irresponsible layering.
