Mark this moment. Color is happening. And a lot of it. I have to be feeling very talkative when I wear this outfit because it tends to draw a lot of attention.

I really can't stand bright colors paired with black. It's too Dynasty in the '80's, or "game day cheer squad," or in this case, bumblebee costume, and in general just too harsh and jarring to see bright colors with black.

These colors melt into each other. Even though they are bright, they aren't disturbing to look at, causing you to go cross-eyed or feel dizzy.

A nude shoe keeps the whole outfit from being overwhelming. If you are picking out a color in your outfit and matching your shoes to it, we need to move you up to the year 2016. It's not the '80's anymore. Mkay cupcake?

On the other hand, it can be nice when you're wearing 2 colors at the same time to pick one of those as the predominant color to match with everything else. Just not your shoes.

If I'm wearing pattern and bright color together, I like everything else to blend. For a similar blouse, check this one out, or for a super luxe option (it'll probably go on sale after July 4th) check out this one. Did you know there's a place where you can see and shop all our best finds from around the web and in the stores? You can buy what you want (no surprises at your door!) and see how to wear it. It's called the Style Vault. Find out more here.

Another great way to wear color is to pair it with white.

This is why I have countless white t-shirts and pairs of white jeans in my closet, to calm all the brightness. Vault Insiders, check out the latest additions to the June Style Vault, in Style Notes, with our favorite white t-shirts, colorful t-shirts and some pretty colorful shorts. Log in here.

If you're bored with neutrals and need some excitement, but don't want to get too crazy, wearing tone-on-tone, like aqua with pale blue denim, is a soft and pretty way to approach the color in your wardrobe.

This would be a no in my wardrobe. Aqua and hot pink on a little girl running around the playground or jumping in the pool is adorable. On an adult, it's too campy.

Of course, I'm all about the white skirt with any color, bright or subdued. If you need a great white denim skirt, here's one I am loving right now.
