FMF Reader Poll: Color Combinations

By -
I used to subscribe to the color equation of 1 color + 1 or more neutrals + accessories that are the same color as the first color = outfit. Purple shoes with a red dress? Never. Green dress with light blue tights? That's absurd. An outfit with three colors and no neutrals? As if! (That was a legitimate statement in the 90s when I was making these protests).

Now, I often have to be convinced to add a neutral to my outfits. I don't shy away from green and purple with a pop of yellow or red and orange with some baby blue mixed in. Occasionally this gets me dirty looks from people wearing black and denim at the grocery store, but I'm having fun so I don't really care. What are your favorite color combination? Since I couldn't list them all, tell us any other favorites in the comments.

I love all combinations. I don't adhere to strict combinations unless I feel like doing so. I think fashion is a live an let live vibe. Color included. ;-)

Yellow is the new black, the sunflower yellow that is.

It goes with everything, black, pink, blue, green, red, purple. yeah.

Altho I hate the no blue&green rule. Peacocks are beautiful because of their blue and green color!

My favorite recently has been a riot of color, with orangy yellow tights, a turquoisy tiered skirt and magenta beret. I live in the country, so I think I'm being stared at because of what I'm wearing, and not because I'm an American. It's hard to say though...

I'm constantly trying out new color combinations. I voted Blue&Pink, which I had found worked well by accident when it was on an old Klinke Cleaners uniform. I would have to say my favorite not listed is Yellow&Teal though. Blue, yellow, and black are an awesome trio too.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
