While reading InStyle Magazine, an article caught our eye. It was about bringing color accents into mostly dark colored wardrobes for a fun new way to wear some of your favorite pieces. Noticing a dominance of dark colors amongst our collection, and that our most popular color sold is black, we though it would be fun to add a couple of pops of color to some of our Carissa Rose styles.
We thought up some simple ways to add color to a dark outfit. Jewelry is always a great and subtle statement maker; necklaces, rings and even earrings can add a dynamic look to a simple outfit. We took Xena and added contrasting necklaces both adding a pop of red to the dark top.
Taking the same idea about statement jewelry, we added pearls and a cameo brooch to contrast the dark colors of our Lola in Eclipse.
Another way to add a pop of color is to pair your top with a color accent bottom, or even adding a colored belt to your outfit. Here we took a statement making purple corduroy skirt and paired it with Sabrina, we also added a purple necklace to match and a black waist belt for a more put together look.
These are just a few ways to add pops of color to your outfits, but the possibilities are endless – scarves, shoes, bags, even camis can add a fun color accent to any outfit. So look in your closet and dig through some drawers. Maybe some of your vintage jewelry can help inspire a new outfit.
