Darker neutrals are the basic building blocks for your wardrobe but colour is fun, lifts the spirits and gives you a boost - it's what takes an outfit out of the ordinary and makes it eye-catching and individual.
Astonishingly, all the colours under the sun come from mixing just 5 hues - black and white, and the primary colours of red, blue and yellow.This Colour Wheel show just some of the millions of variations we can achieve:
I was fascinated by this excellent article by Pene Turner on the Fox in Flats website - dedicated to helping Aussie mums look fabulous as they navigate Motherhood in Style.
It has some great ideas to help you push the boundaries a little, especially if you know your know your own best seasonal colour palette!
Take a look - and see what might work for you! You can read the whole article here:

I'd advise a little caution if you are a 'cool toned' lady - only the mostly right hand side of the colour wheel will really flatter your colouring, but you can still use that half as Pene advises, just split the one side into halves or thirds again, and select a great mix of colours for a gorgeous outfit.
Some women look fabulous in strong contrast, whilst others might look most elegant in a mix of different depths of the same colour - others still will be stunning in a mix of several shades from the whole colour wheel.............
If you'd like some help to understand which colourful look will work best for you, then do please get in touch.
Enjoy your colours!
Best wishes
