This months issue of Real Simple had an article about easily upgrading ones wardrobe with the use of color.
They suggest adding a boost of new color to those neutral basics we all have.
Camel with Turquoise
Camel with Green
Black with Red
Black with Blue
Grey with Pink
Grey with Yellow
Here's what I think-
I don't care for yellow, turquoise or green. I can't/don't wear any of those colors except green and only if its the right shade of green for me. Grey with pink was SO big in the 80's, especially for weddings. It was pale pink with grey though. The magazine shows a lovely dark pink corduroy blazer by Isaac Mizahi from Target paired with grey slacks. This is the 2nd magazine I've seen that blazer in. I don't have a clue who Isaac Mizahi is but I do love my Target so I'm interested.
I used to love red, but I've now moved on to burgundy. I think its richer looking, classier. I can not see red anymore and not think "Target". We now have a Target 5 miles from my door. I used to have to drive to the next town to get to Target, now I'm there at least once a week.
I like the blue and black combo, but what doesn't look good with black?
