Color Mixology

New York: Lincoln Center

Inspiration: I was once told that red and fuchsia were two colors that needed to be kept apart -- like black and navy (yet, I wear black and navy together all the time). But rules like that (along with no white after Labor Day and matching accessories) serve only to hamper creativity. If a color combination pleases your eye or serves to express your own personal style as envisioned by you, then it works.

Carole: Well, my grandaunt was young in the 50s . . . and she's the one who gave me these precious gems.

I believe that girl is a blogger, who ironically also posted about that outfit. :P

this colour combination issue seems to be popping up a lot lately. i've been wearing a lot of navy and black mixed together lately... the other day i had it on with brown boots and grey snood. i wondered if i was breaking all the rules... love that she has paired the red/pink together. definitely not a choice i would have gone for, but if you wear it with confidence and it is bold it totally works and gives a little insight into the sort of person she might be... vivacious and strong willed, i'd guess. haha. psychic reading through colours... new career path, perhaps? xx
