Black and white are always safe colors to wear but never be afraid to spice your outfits up with a great red piece to make things pop.  Although not my favorite color in general, red is definitely a color that I like to ensure I have multi wardrobe pieces in because it is such a great accent color and truly looks good head to toe. If you are hesitant start with red shoes or a red handbag to accessorize and accentuate a great outfit and I promise you, you will just keep wanting more and more.  Here are a couple outfits that show how red wardrobe pieces can enrich an outfit, make a statement and take it to another level.

Never wait for a special occasion to break out the good stuff.  Unless you are speaking about St. Patrick's day or money, money, money, mooon-ney; when many think of the color green they say no way; but I say OH YEAH!  Green is a color that pops in so many different shades and you shouldn't have any fear of any of them.  Two of my favorite shades are Kelly Green and as pictured below, Hunter Green.  I can never get enough of those two colors and I really hate that I cannot find more fabulous pieces in these vibrant statement speaking shades, but best believe when I do I am quick to snatch them up. This basic pencil skirt along with the black knee high boots was brought to full life with this beautiful  long sleeve hunter green blouse.  If I had to choose a daily go to outfit this combination would be my first choice any day.  A great blouse, simple skirt and boots or pointy toe will never lead you wrong direction.  I forgot to include the cute...

One of my favorite colors during this time of year is hunter green.  As the weather begins to cool and the holiday season rolls in, something about this color puts me in a warm spirit.  I can never find it as often as I like but when I do I am sure to snatch it up as it is a very flattering color on brown skin tones. I found this great dress at the Dillard's clearance center on one of my random shopping days that I was on the hunt for something else.  I was actually looking for another dress in the same color and had no luck, but then this little Kenneth Cole number jumped out at me and I was so excited.  I love the zipper detail in the back, as it adds a nice accent to a simple body flattering dress.  Sometimes it doesn't take much to make a powerful statement and this dress does the trick.  From the color, to the detail, to the fit, I know that I found a classic and timeless piece that will have a place in my closet for awhile. I completed this outfit...
