When the Pantone Color Institute named their Color of the Year to be Very Peri, I discovered a lot that I hadn’t known before. For one thing, I thought I had only one periwinkle top but realized it is a light blue. And for another thing, I found that I actually have five tops and six scarves that are actually periwinkle but I had thought of them as shades of lavender. When I discovered that, I got interested in combining those pieces into a variety of outfit combinations based on what colors go well with them. Suddenly this blog post was born because I wanted to share with you what I learned. You will find out how to use the color of the year by mixing and matching with other colors in your closet to get the most outfit combinations you can from what you have.
Periwinkle is featured in the True Spring color palette. But actually it is a universal color that looks good on anyone, depending on the shade. And when you use color to your advantage, age doesn’t matter. That’s because wearing your most flattering colors next to your face makes your skin look clearer and your eyes stand out. And you’ll get a beautiful effect with your natural hair color, too. You don’t have to stick with the exact shade of Very Peri. The stores aren’t; they’re offering a wide variety of purples and lavenders. So choose from cool or warm, light or dark, bright or soft shades of purple to find what’s best for you.

It may seem that summer is coming to an end with Labor Day and back-to-school preparations. But this year’s autumn equinox isn’t until September 23rd. And if recent years are an indication, the weather will still be quite warm until then. During these last days of summer, you can keep tropical weather and last-minute vacations in mind by looking the part. After Labor Day, you can start in on Fall colors if you like but it’s not necessary if the weather is 80 degrees Fahrenheit! The equinox will come and then there will be time enough to dress in the Fall spirit. So I chose my style tips of the day to focus on how to wear shades of white now and into Fall.
The rule of no white after Labor Day is broken. There are different ways to wear it during every season of the year. Age doesn’t matter. Here are two color style tips: one for wearing white now and one for wearing white into fall.
