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.

The long red dress and the Louboutin t-strap, oh my.
ReplyDeleteoooh great post!! i love the look of primary colours paired together but im not daring enough to try it.. yet hehhe
ReplyDeleteyellow red and blue... the third chkra, the first chakra and the fifth.... and then you can mush them together..........:)
ReplyDeleteI 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 :)
ReplyDeleteThere is just something extra special about red to me, the red dresses, bags and shoes always stand out. Great choices.
ReplyDeleteOmg, I love the shoes. :)
ReplyDeletewhat striking combinations - love the yellow shoes w/black stockings.
ReplyDeleteI 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!

ReplyDeleteeeeep 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.
