At some point in my early adolescence I read that redheads were supposed to steer clear of wearing the colors red and pink. I was told that fall colors were always a better choice for me. Yes, fall colors were very flattering but I felt disadvantaged at having the option of wearing red or pink taken away from me. My friends could wear red—why not me?
What I didn’t know then, and feel the need to shout from the treetops now, is that you can wear any color you want. How? Every color exists in many different shades. If pastel pink washes you out then look for a more saturated pink that is more flattering for your skin tone. I know now that certain shades of pink and red can look great. I have to be willing to hold them up to my face and see how they look. I encourage you to do the same.
With so much bold color everywhere you turn for spring, it’s time to feel confident wearing color! Take a chance and experiment with color.
Make Your Wardrobe Bloom with Color
With each new season comes an opportunity to refresh your wardrobe—and one of the easiest ways to do this is with color. This Spring you will find colorful hues such as coral, berry, turquoise, lilac, and red everywhere you turn.

Play with color in a print. Have some fun and step out in a dress with both color and pattern. This is an instantly put together look and all you have to do is put it on. |
| Use Black & White to tone down a bold color. If you have a dress or skirt in a bold color that you want to seem less bright, pair it with a black and white top or cardigan. This can also give your dress a completely different look. |  |

Add color and pizazz with your jewelry. You can take a plain white t-shirt from drab to fab simply by adding a bright colored necklace. Jewelry with bold color is an easy way to participate in your favorite color trend of the season. |
| Slip it on. Every color shoe is flattering to your feet. Forget worrying about what colors you can and cannot wear and rock a shoe in a color you love. Choose a shoe in a color like red or turquoise and you’ll be able to wear it with practically everything in your wardrobe. |  |

More often than not, each piece of your brand image was created when you needed it, but not altogether in a strategic fashion. Your image may look fine, but does fine help you grow?
