Playing with Primary Colors and Neons

June 14, 2013

Happy weekend, lovelies!
Today I am playing with one of my FAVORITE color combinations for summer:  Primary colors!!  My second favorite combination?  Neons! 😀
I think the reason why these color combinations catch our eyes is because they are so bright, cheery, and playful.

The key to wearing primary colors without looking like a walking box highlighters is to choose one or two colors as your focal point, and then bring the other color in through accessories.  Adding white helps to break up the colors further, cooling them down.

Daytime Outing: Primary Colors
The Deets:
 tank top (similar) // pants // shoes // clutch
hat // necklace // pave //  watch //  bangle
In this outfit, I picked a bright pair of pants and paired it with a neutral navy and added pink to the outfit through the accessories.  The white helps to break up the colors, keeping them defined but not too bold.
Afternoon Lunch: Primary Colors
The Deets:

Shirt // skirt (similar) // handbag, look for less // shoes // belt
  necklace // watch // pink bangle // blue // knot bangle, look for less

For this outfit, I let the pink skirt do the talking while I kept the other colors soft and muted, again, adding the white belt to tie the pieces together.

Date Night:: Primary Colors

The Deets:

Shirt // shorts // bag, look for less // pumps // necklace // bangle // earrings

For the date night outfit, I went a little bolder with the intensity of the colors, but this could just as easily be worn during the day.  What can I say, I’m obsessed with in love with neon colors, and I love pairing them together!

How do you like to wear primary colors?
Do you prefer softer tones or neon colors?

Enjoy your weekend, lovelies, and I will see you on Monday!

    You know I love me some color so I'm crazy about all these! But the third especially. That blue Tory bag is killer. Great picks!
