This guest post is by Yelena Starikova of Glamthings.com.
So happy to write a guest post for one of my Favorite Bloggers, Miss Couture Carrie.
Today we'll talk about how to mix basic neutrals with fun colors!
I have a friend and she is very beautiful girl, but she is afraid to experiment with color. Her wardrobe is full of blacks and grays, which is fine, but it's soooooo boring!
If you want to spice up your closet without drastic changes, add some scarves, belts, T-shirts and jewelry in fun colors.
Let’s talk about your Basics and how to make it fun!
*Black. Good news black goes with everything! Try it with bright, jewel-toned shades of red, blue or green for exciting combinations. Mix red with black for seductive vavavoom effect.
*Navy and gray looks very elegant. Navy and yellow grabs attention and looks youthful.

Mix navy and white when you go sailing or want to look summery.
*Brown looks great with mellow yellow and deep purple.
*Grey and Dusty pink looks Elegant. Light Grey and Moonlight Yellow or Aqua looks Young & Intelligent.
*White and pink combination is very feminine, flower like. Add blue ~ seaside stories.
Rule to remember: One hot statement is enough!
Example: red dress + red lips= Good
red dress+ red shoes = too matchy matchy.

I love gray and yellow together! Gray and dusty pink is also a flawless combination. I see it at a lot of weddings. :)

Loving LC's outfit & that last outfit :)
A pop of color does so much for a more basic outfit - I'm a big fan of neutrals with an unexpected and bright colored bag or shoes. Great post! :)

lovely all :)
Grey and dusty pink are fabulous but they might look too washed out together! I am more about mixing something dusty with some exuberant colors!
Love this post though! Great idea!

I'm trying to build up my network, so if you'd be so kind, I'd love you to follow me.
I agree with you, if someone wear all black and neutrals, it is very easy add colours or leopard print, and have fun with accessories. Great post.
What a great post...
I really do love pairing black with some happy and striking colors and it always look good ♥
i love these inspirations!
