Colour Your Day

I am not the typical office girl who wears brown, black, grey, white or any dull colour. I love pastel and light colours and I wear them for work.

Do you want to wear colours as well? Here are some faves according to about dot com.

Violet
Why We Love Violet: A little bit of purple, a touch of blue: this flattering hue is soft enough to work on any complexion but vivid enough to brighten features.
Best Way to Wear It: Violet looks great in cozy knits like sweaters and scarves, and as a bright alternative for cocktail dresses. Violet works perfectly with dark neutrals, so it's ideal as a color pop under a black, gray or navy jacket.

Bright Blue
Why We Love Bright Blue: Sure, it's bright and bold, but blue is such a wearable color for most skintones that it works (unlike other brights like lime green).
Best Way to Wear It: Bright blue makes a great after-five color, especially when it's done up in shiny fabrics. But it also works for everything from basic tees to wool coats. Bright blue is also the perfect accent color for accessories.

Deep Purple
Why We Love Purple: A rich jewel tone, deep purple flatters everyone from dark skin tones to fairer skin.
Best Way to Wear It: Don't save deep purple just for colder months (although it looks rich in the fall and winter). A darker shade of purple adds a jolt of sophistication to work wear (pair a purple blouse with a pencil skirt) and casual wear (purple goes great with denim.

Teal
Why We Love Teal: Redheads, blondes and brunettes: all look fantastic in this yummy shade of blue-green.
Best Way to Wear It: On it's own teal makes a delicious rich color, but it's even better as a print (especially paisley.) Pair teal with neutrals like chocolate brown or camel for a polished mix.

Burgundy
Why We Love Burgundy:Perfect for drama, this deep red shade of wine (also called maroon) is a show stopper for evening wear.
Best Way to Wear It: Mix burgundy pieces with luxe prints (brocades, paisleys, silk stripes) for a regal look. Opt for career separates using burgundy as a neutral (mixes with colors like charcoal gray and olive).

Magenta

Pink


Blush

Bronze

Coral

These colours are not hard to find. They are like thebest diet pill, you can find when you dig deep. My fave is pink and coral and blush.. and all.
