It’s so easy to feel safe in that little black number; but let’s be brave and put a little colour back into our lives. Why not try out three of these gorgeous shades, teal, papaya or amethyst Teal with it’s greenish blue hue will really make a statement especially teamed with the right accessories.
If you’re a working girl team a Porter Grey wool blend skirt from shopbop.com with a wool vest from Express. In the evening try out a silk dress from Rebecca Taylor together with Nine West satin heels.
To really warm up the mood; try a smoldering shade in the form of hot papaya. This vibrant shade teams up well with the more earthy shades of makeup such as Mac Art Eye Shadow in Notoriety. The stunning Lauren Moffatt silk dress stands on it’s own but can be warmed up when wearing Diane von Furstenberg cotton wool blazer, and accessorised with Liz Claiborne pebbled leather bag. If you feel a little shy to carry this colour off why not try some of the accessories such as David Aubrey gold plated brass glass and resin pearl earrings or a LAI crocodile belt.
Finally lets talk of that dramatic jewel of a colour amethyst. Demonstrated by many celebrities this shade wow’s everyone. Suiting almost all skin tones it’s an easy option to wear, and looks good with smoky eyes with a shadow such as the Maybelline New York Expert Wear shadow in Night Sky. Plum, purple or violet can all look good for accessories try a Motif leather belt Forever cotton scarf or some Wendy Mink jewelry. The Malo silk dress stands alone, but if you need a coat for chilly evenings the polyester faille coat by Ralph Lauren will keep you warm.
