#twowaystowear Tuesday, all you Dappled Little Things...how are you feeling about color pairing thus far? . . For the past two days, I've shared some of my favorite ways to choose colors in order to create a color-blocked look; while you might find pairing colors daunting, perhaps if you understood a little more about the process, you may find it easier to do! . . Color-Blocking by the Numbers -okay, so you're picking colors, using the color wheel, and following the pairing rules, but there is still one more thing to know: the percentages! Even if you choose the perfect color combination, your look may still be visually overwhelming: to reduce the visual contrast, while ensuring the pieces you've chosen complement and don't compete with each other, vary the proportion of color in the pieces you chose to pair. . . In the case of this fabulous green jumpsuit: with such an amazing cut (wrap front, flutter sleeves, dramatic hem) and color, I wanted it to be the main focus of my outfit; from my shoulders to shins, it covers about 70% of my body, so I had 30% more color to add. . . The jacket offers about 25% more color: it's a shorter length and the sleeves only reach mid-way down my forearm (I chose to wear the jacket open as not to reduce the overall percentage of the jumpsuit). . . With 95% of the color in my outfit accounted for, the remaining 5% I saved for my belt; although quite skinny (small in width), the rich cobalt blue is a large jolt of color (I ignored the shoes in the math because the floral pumps had varying shades of the green jumpsuit, the acqua-teal jacket, and blue belt, tying all three pieces together!). . .
