Darcy’s tips for experimenting with color
- Prioritize comfort. Anytime you step out of your comfort zone with a new color or pattern, it’s important to be extra thoughtful about physical comfort. Make sure the item fits well and feels good.
- Don’t over accessorize. Don’t over-adorn a brightly colored outfit with lots of jewelry, let the color speak for itself.
- Wear it tomorrow! Every time I buy something new, especially if it’s a bold color or style, I say, “I must wear this tomorrow.” And I push myself to do it, no matter what. That way, I work it into my regular rotation right away (rather than saving it for “Some Special Day”). This rule also helps me avoid buying things I don’t need. If I could never dream of wearing it “tomorrow,” I accept that I might never want to wear it and put it back.
