Each week, on my Nothing2Wear Facebook Page, we show you a new color combination. It’s just a way to give you more styling ideas and to encourage you to pair together colors you never have before. This time, I decided to show you another way to style color by adding just a pop of it to your ensemble. Adding a pop of color can be accomplished in a myriad of ways. You can add a pop of color with any accessory; a scarf, head wrap, pashmina, a bag, shoes, or even jewelry. Here are a few ideas:
Idea 1: Liven up a monochrome dress with color by styling a bag or belt. I accented this black dress with a pop of fresh spring green and cognac. This dress wasn’t sold with the belt but I accessorize it anyway. Adding the belt gave me the opportunity to add the cuff bracelet, necklace and wedges in similar colors. Accessorizing in similar hues ties the entire look together.
I’ve had this suede clutch for many years. It once had a bamboo handle that is now long gone. I much prefer it as a clutch anyway.
Idea 2: Another way to add color if your outfit is monochrome, is to add earrings in another fresh hue. These tangerine earrings beautifully accent the green dress.

Idea 3: To break up a vibrant, graphic print, add color with a shoe and a bag.

Here are a few ideas from my sister’s closet. I love this pattern dress. We re-styled it five ways! A Nothing2Wear win!
‘A Fashionista Forecast.’ The weather is crisp, the sun is alive and the temperature says,” come and play.”
There’s nothing stopping her from hitting her favorite stores and outdoor plazas. The dress turns into a comfort piece paired with a Cherry cardigan, citrus yellow skinny belt, leopard ballet flats and the perfect faux snakeskin green shopping bag.
Wear a cardigan unbuttoned and belt the dress instead. Be daring and combine opposing prints. There’s something about opposites that seem to attract. The dress and flats may seem like frienemies, but when grouped with the entire ensemble, it all works.
Bag- The Limited (splurge)
Skinny Belt- Forever 21
Ballet Flats- Kmart
For Look 4, we paired the dress with a pale cream, textured Old Navy blazer, blush pumps, a patent chocolate skinny belt, and a intelligent laptop. There’s nothing wrong with accessorizing with a pair of smart opticals.
Blazer- Old Navy
Pumps- Target
Laptop- Apple MacBook
Pearl Bangle- Forever 21
No need to bring a wardrobe change to the office. We’re keeping the dress, blush heels, pearl bracelet and patent skinny belt. We pull back the hair, add some shoulder skin, and a pop of color with our staple splurge luscious green Pashmina from Nordstrom.
Pair aquamarine with a coral top.
