No silly, not THOSE primaries! The three anchor brights: red, yellow, and blue - from whence all other colors derive!
Whether separately or together, these bold hues add interest and excitement to autumn attire! CC knew the time was ripe for this post when she saw these stunning Michael Thompson photos in the NY Times. Go here for more on the exhibit.

That shot with the confetti is so gorgeous! I love that combination of colors!
What a great roundup, CC! I love those red and blue pumps, the long yellow dress, and the clutches the best.
Mmm for the red louboutins!
Yet another fab round-up - love how you tie trends together!
hi, thanks for leaving a kind comment on my blog! I love all the things you have collected together for this post, especially the red party dress
: )
Hi there-some lovely picks here, I really love the Hunter boots, they're cute!!
Ooh, you got the latex stockings in here. Nice!
so bright + cheery.
i am just not a color girl! BUT a electric blue clutch with an all black outfit.
ah love.
I definitely like these primaries more than the other ones...
Lovely colours, so fresh:) I could definitey do with some more colours in my grey/dark blue wardrobe;)
Big up for JCDC :) Love his creations.
i really like all these colour!!thanks for posting
That Marchesa dress, and those Betsey Johnson pumps! Your posts always make me covet something or other. :)
that gossip girl primary love picture is just insanity! i'm not one for primary colors but that picture totally could convert me!
I really love the Lanvins, but could i wear them in yellow all the time? The red Loubs totally.
^ I agree the picture from Crash Division is beautiful!
The Marchesa dress is lovely as well!
The bags are all pretty awesome.
I will definiately be using some color for fall--LOVE the Nina peter gloves and the J-C de Castelbajac outfit--everything about seem so me--out of the ordinary lol!
:)
It's great that some bright colours are in trends to bring some joy to all the darkeness that already is in.
You know I love them (despite I also like very much black)
xoxo
I love that Marchesa dress, I've been wanting it forever. I can dream.
Primary color LOVE! <3
Thanks for the comment, sweetie, I always enjoy reading what you have to say in my blog!! :)
woot gotta love gossip girl! can't wait to get my hands on some red tights:D
great post!
I LOVE primary color! Great post. Can't wait to see what you will post during fashion week :)
I love the winter wonderland photo. so much.
wow this was a great colour post!!!
i remember that scene in gossip girl - i loved all their outfits!!
Love the GG pic!
I'm not generally one for colour (except for valentino red and navy) but I love to see it on others...although I'd like to see that Marchesa frock on me haha :)
The greatest thing about primary colours is they make you happy whenever you feel like you're taking yourself too seriously!
Love it as always <3
The long red dress and the Louboutin t-strap, oh my.
oooh great post!! i love the look of primary colours paired together but im not daring enough to try it.. yet hehhe
yellow red and blue... the third chkra, the first chakra and the fifth.... and then you can mush them together..........:)
I can't wait to research more on the exhibition, the photo's look stunning ... I must admit, that I've never bought red and never worn it. How weird, I know ... I love the gossip girl pretty look, so cute :)
There is just something extra special about red to me, the red dresses, bags and shoes always stand out. Great choices.
Omg, I love the shoes. :)
what striking combinations - love the yellow shoes w/black stockings.
I love the red dress by libidex! it looks so cool!! In Spain we normally don't mix red and yellow only in an outfit because those are the colours of our flag and is kind of weird, -like in GG- but I like it!
LOVE basic bright yellow and blue...
Love those Betsey Johnsons shoes... well, I actually like everything on this post!!! Fab as usual!!!
Love the Michael Thompson photos!
Nice pics!
i wish i was a redhead :(
Those latex stockings look sweaty..:)
Great this post tricolour, but more the red Marchesa's dress!
ByE!!!
the stockings look like they're made of wax...
eeeep brightness. I love the clothes you chose to show, amazing, but am I the only one who thinks the Manolo's in that bright a color look a bit pleather?
And the first two handbags... I don't know, it scream forever21 quality to me.
some primaries scare me.
Love them together!
Yes for the primarily colors, especially for accessories and shoes!
what a lovely photo from crash division dear.where would the world be without the essential primary colours and your post is right on time.my fave piece are the lace up shoes by Blahnik for Thakoon!color always cheers me up.
muah!
