If I had a dollar for every time I heard, "I can't or don't wear color", I'd be a very wealthy women wearing very expensive shoes. But since dollar bills are not being tossed in my direction (now that I think about it - that would put me in more of the stripper profession), I'll give you a few quick tips on how to wear color in your everyday life.
1. Tone on Tone
Pick a color and build your outfit from that family.

2. Pop of Color
Make a statement using color as your focal point. Could be colored denim or shorts. Or choose an accessory to add color to your outfit.

3. Color block
Remember this post? The simple solution is to choose 1 or 2 contrasting hues so you don't look like you got dressed in the dark. Take the guess work out by buying one that is already designed for you.
