Over the past couple years, I've realized how pairing colors, textures and patterns that aren't usually paired adds an element of adventure and even edgy sophistication to what I'm wearing.And I'm still learning to make more interesting combinations.
And it's interesting how I think actually pulling off certain combinations is tied strongly to one's attitude and confidence (or at least feigned confidence!).
As to color, I've been enjoying exploring for new combinations -- and have found a big dose of inspiration at the the Pantone website. The site itself is a great bit of eye candy, and was fun poking around.
They've produced, in pdf format, two beautifully designed reports that showcase spring and fall colors with accompanying commentary by designers like Zac Posen.
Even the names they've given their colors were sumptuous: violet infused hollyhock, diaphanous silver peony, gleaming green sheen, ...
If you are looking for color inspiration for spring -- or even fall, this is a great site.
A great blog I ran across after finding the Pantone reports is the high fashion Fashion Trendsetter, which has postings on Pantone as well as other industry color reports.
