Rainbow Brite

Kudos to Wisp (Rainbow Brite), because color is everywhere this season. All hues are fair game--primary, secondary, neon, pastel, you name it.  Not sure how to pull it off, or loyal to the King of Shadows? No prob. Follow the Color Kids:

Red rover: always a sucker for attention, red simply rocks. Lips, nails, skinny jeans, or a killer pleated skirt will send anyone on over. Cool color combo: coral red/turquoise. Contrast color: green.

Orange crush: one of the trickiest colors to wear, be smart and opt for a great tote. Go big, so it looks like you actually struck gold. Cool color combo: orange/tan. Contrast color: blue.

Mellow yellow: another complex color, so stay in the pale or citrus tones. Try a yellow striped top with white jeans or a sunny pair of espadrilles. Cool color combo: citrus yellow/lime green. Contrast color: purple.

Lean, green machine: looks modern in mint, bright teal or kelly green. Opt for chic touches, ala a beautiful pair of flats, a double-strand belt or a big leather cuff. Cool color combo: army green/fuchsia. Contrast color: red.

True blue: a very flattering shade, wear multiple hues in one outfit for more interest.  Denim on denim is suprisingly cool now--just no matching denim. Cool color combo: colbalt blue/black. Contrast color: orange.

Purplicious: this kid's story book character knows what’s up. Look for a lightweight scarf in a floral print or a gorgeous shift dress in solid violet. Cool color combo: purple/navy/white. Contrast color: yellow.

Now, go find your happy shade. Giddy-up, Starlite!
