Style Color Crush: Ruby Red+Turquoise

Here’s a new color combination to try, Ruby Red Turquoise. These color pairing ideas are introduced each week on my Nothing2Wear Facebook page. Red is my favorite color. Next to black, it’s what I have a lot of. My closet probably looks like it’s bleeding with all the red pieces I’ve bought over the years. Red is also one of my colors. It’s a power color and it always brings me glowing joy when I wear it.

Red is versatile a color that pairs with multiple hues. The obvious pairings are with black, vanilla cream, winter white, gold, and silver. Any hues in the blue, pink, and yellow families can be styled with red too.

Although red is one my joys, turquoise reminds me of my time in the South Pacific.

I wore this combination for a recent Atlanta TV segment. Red reads wonderfully on-camera and the turquoise is a chic way to add a pop and offset such a dominant color.

Nothing2Wear Style Tip: Two more ways to wear: For my sister’s vintage inspired wedding, I styled this same dress with different accessories. My sister’s wedding was elegant and with soft color pallete choices. I wore triple strand pearls, swapped the belt for one in silver pewter and I wore slingback Guess glitter platforms.

For something more dramatic–a day to night look–style darker accessories. I doubled two beaded, slate gray statement necklaces and tossed in a black patent skinny belt. Black strappy heels would certainly be appropriate.
