TARA 101: MOST STREET STYLERS, STYLISTS AND DESIGNERS STEER CLEAR OF RED AND GREEN COLORBLOCK, 1. BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE CHRISTMAS COLORS. 2. THOSE ARE TWO VERY CONTRASTING COLORS. SO THE REAL QUESTION, IS HOW DO YOU PAIR, RED AND GREEN, AND STILL HAVE HARMONY? THERE IS A TRICK, TO FIND A COLOR, THAT GOES WITH RED AND GREEN, AND PLAY OFF THAT THIRD COLOR. AND LET IT GUIDE YOU, TO STYLE AROUND IT, LIKE WITH RED, THE CLOSEST COLOR, IS PINK. I COULD HAVE STYLED, THE OUTFIT BELOW WITH PINK, AS THE THIRD COLOR, AROUND RED AND GREEN. BUT INSTEAD, I DECIDED TO GO, WITH THE CLOSEST COLOR, TO GREEN, AND THAT IS BLUE. I CHOOSE BLUE/BLUE IRIDESCENT TAKE A LOOK:
I STYLED A DOLCE AND GABBANA RED DOUBLE BREASTED COAT WITH A GUCCI GREEN BOW BLOUSE WITH A D&G BLACK SEQUINED PEPLUM TOP WITH MATCHING SEQUINED PANTS, BLACK TIGHTS UNDERNEATH AND BURGUNDY RED PLATFORM SANDALS AND A BLUE-GREEN SCARF, TIED AROUND A MATCHING HANDBAG. I PLAYED AROUND, WITH RED AND GREEN, FAIRLY COMPLICATED. I CHOSE AN EVEN MORE, CHALLENGING COLOR BLACK, I PLAYED WITH DIFFRENT TONES: A DARKER RED FOR THE PLATFORMS, AND THE HANDBAG, TO SOFTEN THE CLASH, OF THE RED COAT, THE GREEN BLOUSE, AND GREEN SCARF, AGAINST THE BLACK. HERE’S WHERE THE TRICK COMES IN, TO PULL ALL OF THESE CLASHING COLORS, TOGETHER: THE ACCESSORIES, AND THE JEWELRY.
I PAIRED NEON/LIME GREEN ACRYLIC NAILS, WITH AN ETSY PINKAVENGER, BLUE-GREEN IRIDESCENT, JEWELED BRACELET, AN ETSY NOVUSJEWELLRY, BLUE-GREEN IRIDESCENT GLASS BEAD BRACELET, AND ETSY ELDORTINAJEWELRY, DARK AND LIGHT GREEN DROP EARRINGS.
