Summer is here. The best part of summer is that you don’t need to buy a lot of clothing, just spice up your current wardrobe with new shoes, handbags, and jewelry in sizzling brights.
Style tips:
Depending on what colors you wear, limit the number of colorful accessories, keeping the styles clean and crisp.
Think of white, khaki, navy, or black as the neutrals and work in bright tops and accessories to give the outfit some pop.
Proportion is key when wearing bright clothing and accessories. Think about the size of bright accessories. They shouldn’t overwhelm you.
Footwear:
