Wear Colors Plucked from a Jewelry Box!

Wear Colors Plucked from a Jewelry Box!

Rich Jewel Tones Enhance Neutrals What colors should I wear, you ask?

The rich ones!

Black may be the perfect core color to base a wardrobe but entertaining scrumptious jewel tones adds a modern sense of opulence without much effort.
Plus, the lavish gem color palette that is flattering on most skin tones always conjures up images of elegance and luxury, so what’s so bad about that?

  Introduce ruby, amethyst, teal, emerald, fire opal orange, amber, and sapphire hues as posh and polished color accents to your go-to neutrals.

Dress Tips: Add one brilliant colored dress to wear with your go-to black jacket and black tights. In contrast, a jewel-toned jacket can top your charcoal pencil skirt or pants. A rich surplice wrap sweater goes over everything. Baubly bright booties add instant glamour. Or, why not, just get a hobo bag in the gem color of your dreams to go with everything?

Fall’s color palette is so deliciously rich that you may curb your appetite for neutrals!

Think about pretty gem inspired colors like these:
