"What color combinations are now ok to try, and a few others that still creep me out. Ever since I knew what fashion was, I had this crazy pet peeve with the colors black, navy and brown. Never should they appear together in one outfit. All through high school, if I saw someone wearing navy sweatpants with a black shirt, or even a black headband with a brown bag, I would cringe. My friends would laugh at me of course, but it was just one of those things that bothered me. So you&amp;#039;ll never guess who, only a month ago, purchased a pretty, navy top with black lace detailing. I don&amp;#039;t know what came over me but, yes, I made that purchase and I&amp;#039;m still happy with it! This year, I&amp;#039;ve seen many color combinations I would never have tried a few years ago. I&amp;#039;ll admit that a pair of brown boots, like these Madden Girl boots from DSW, look great with a black top. And I love yellow with pretty much any color. I joke that mustard is the new tan. I&amp;#039;m lusting over this Dooney and Bourke bag in Sunflower. Me adding navy to my closet shows that anyone can change their ways. If you feel like your friends always out-fashion you, try adding one bright piece to transform a boring outfit. Think of the color wheel. Complementary colors (or opposite colors on the wheel), like purple and yellow, stand out next to each other. These color combinations look new because they&amp;#039;re rarely done, and it&amp;#039;s as easy as an orange shirt with blue jeans. I also like pale colors alongside bold colors. Put a bright, flowy tank over a white or light gray tee to get the look. I&amp;#039;ll always have a beef with brown. When it comes to dark colors, I go for a plum or dark turquoise instead of navy or brown, to go with my plethora of black accessories. But I&amp;#039;m slowly welcoming other new colors like creamy reds and bright blues into my wardrobe. Have you taken any fashion risks lately?
