Fashion / Style surgery: How to INJECT new colors into your wardrobe and style it like a pro.

Although it is a fabulous idea to wear hues that we love, it is also a good idea to be aware of what fits the season, and our skin tone. the beauty of color is that it allows us to construct an illusion, ideas, and personality.

The concept of a capsule wardrobe is to be able to combine all of our limited amount of clothing pieces together and fit them, so it makes sense to start with neutral looks. however, over the years, I have shared some ideas on how to inject a pop of color and  make your wardrobe capsule more fun and effortless

Get Started with a colorful arm candy or purse . It really pops a monochromatic dress and adds life. Go for a color that is in harmony with your inner vibration and that suits your current wardrobe

Wear colorful accessories.  A statement necklace or earrings might be a great way to express your style. Do not be afraid to spruce up your look by adding some color. A bright belt or scarf is also a fun way to put in some color.

The color injection will be fun and simple if you do one step at a time.
