What to wear? Be creative with color blocking solids that were once thought to clash; or buy a frock that takes up the idea, like this Richard Nicoll draped silk dress; this and next available at net-a-porter.com.
Thread Social silk twill dress
Marquito and Blowman body con dress; this and next at asos.com.
Alice Palmer asymmetric multi-colour knit dress.Get with the clash, darlings!

I can's stand pink with red, sorry... I just like the first two ones, good combination!! and also purple+yellow!

Pink and orange is one of my favorite combos.
Wendy B- I agree! I LOVE pink and orange. I went nuts over Dior's collection a couple of seasons ago with that Valley of the Dolls-like vibe. Thank you CC - I am hooked on your blog.
I'm actually a firm believer that pink and green go splendidly together and red and purple always looks regale.
Great post, it's good to break out of the ordinary!
I love them all. It's definitely some wonderful colors. I didn't know some of them would look so well together, but they do.
Hmmmmm... I just don't know about these ensembles! However the purse on the head might come in handy when carrying a lot of shopping bags. Or when you're at a place you do not want to set your purse down.
ENJOY your day!

I am loving the orange and purple and pink. I wouldn't dare wear it but I do like it.
I love love clashing colours. I think they're fun and break up any sort of routine to your clothes. Definitely shows that you have a more fun side to dressing up too!
What a great post to start the week with! I'm loving the purple/orange and the pink/orange combos :-)
I love this post!!!
I love pink and orange together, as well as orange and green.
That Issac Mizrahi hat made me lol so much! I love all of the colors.
Thanks for the compliment!
Now clash I can do, as I'm always clashing my outfits anyway, example:
today I'm sporting a... electric blue cardie a abstract 50's style bold, brush stroke floral print T-shirt
followed by an neon orange pleated skirt and last but not least...fuchisa ribbed tights. Oh and as if that wasn't already OTT I've pooped a polka dot bow in my hair, ha ha! For good measure.
OK that's enough of the outfit description, me think's!
Peace and Bows...

Hey sweetie! I love clashing bright colors. The Thakoon fur is to die for and so is the Alice Palmer on shoulder dress.
Great selection as always.
I love every mix of color.... nothing is forbidden ! ;D
Fantastic post, REALLY !
fantastic post! I love mixing together unexpected colors but always fear that I look weird. I'm gonna have to try out some of these.
well thank you, I will ponder over the outfit post... However I feel I'm best sticking to the writing, and leave the outfit post's to those who truly do it best, ha ha ;)
However I *promise I will consider the suggestion.
Bye for now,
Peace and Bows...

Love all of this. I'm a colour clashing lover. Now it's my time... lol
But I'm in a black mood, what's happening????
Just a phase I assume, because I'm brave enough for all of that.
Are you going to do your ABC for Spring? I can't wait for it. it's always soooooooooooo good.

I love the crazy combinations in some shades, they look so shining!
Wow with the 'purse-hat'!!
Besos!
Simone
Pink & Orange are fabulous when well paired (looks like many of us love this combo). I really love almost every one of these looks, and would wear many of these outfits - if only I were fabulous enough to carry it off...
I am liking the pink and green and orange and pink. love the Richard Nicoll drap dress--great color combination!!!
hope you had a nice weekend!! thanks for the well wishes ;)

I think mint green, this week !
ive always been a lover of pink + red together. and i NEED that thread social dress!!
Colourrrrrr :) LOVE it, I would happily wear any colour combination, bring it on. I am indeed rather pleased to see this trend, I have never been one to avoid clashing colours, provided it is done with a careful eye.
The Luella blue and green combo was delightful, as was the Paul Smith. And I loved the vibrancy of Matthew Williamson.
wow so much colour.... my eyes hurt.
wow i love the dior! what a beautiful and colorful post :) hope you are well!
xoxo
I like mixtures of these colors, very impressive and I love 3.1 Phillip Lim and Albino looks,
great great post as always!

So much color!
As they say, anything goes! Of course sometimes it takes just
a little chutzpah!
Terrific post~
~Shop In Chic~
All colours go together, just look at nature, the flowers and butterflies have all types of wild colours:)
I like all of these combinations, but the ones from Phillip Lim are incredible!
Wonderful combinations! I adore the purple frilly blouse with the red pencil skirt - it's darling.
I'm digging the clash. I don't know if I'm too daring to try it, but I like what I see.
COOL. I love all of it!! Nice job, CC! Thanks for the suggestion on what store should I go to, btw. Really appreciate it!! :)
just love the last four dresses! kiss
I noticed those color combination in the confessions of a shopaholic too. I didn't think they would work but it looked great. Cool post!

Totally loving the Upside down tulip dress..
I kinda like the whole 'clash' on the outfits! I like the unexpected-ness of it. & it's how I like to wear my clothes too. :)

oh yes oh yes i totally agree! right now you can pretty much wear any colours together and it will look brilliant! the brighter and bolder the better too! i love it.
also glad you agree 19pairs of jeans is normal! haha

Albino and Mizrahi clors were fabulously put together. This season was mismatched to a tee!
[K]
Wow i love these combinations!!
Waiting anxiously for spring :o)
CC, once again you've outdone yourself. This article is sheer genius!
I reckon I'd wear all of it. The secret to clashing colours is to do with attitude, right? ;)
Hope you're having a fab week.
p.s. Congrats on the 5 under $50 feature :)
If you don't try you won't know right? My favorite is the PL.
This post is so interesting a surprising! i love clashing...in middle school kids always made fun of me for wearing pink, orange and red...i was just so far ahead. hehehe
have a fab day!
xox
I am definitely a fan of the color clash. I used to keep myself pretty in line with the official permissible color palette, but now I love combining unexpected colors, ESPECIALLY pink and red!
Cool! I love red and green combination:))
Gosh, I love those looks with red and green together!
