As a native black, white, grey & camel wearer (basically anything with minimal colours – pastels are ok) wearing colour is something I usually shy away from. I know that if I buy a top in a bright colour chances are it’ll be discarded in favour of my good old white t-shirts before long. Recently I’ve found a new way of injecting some colour into my neutral outfits – accessories.
Coloured accessories are a great way of adding the wow factor to an outfit without stepping too far out of your neutral coloured comfort zone. You may have also noticed I recently got my beloved Chloe in oxblood red which I thought was pretty daring but I guess you could still class it as a neutral!

When I first got this I thought it’d be reserved for partywear. Just because of the bright colour I could only really picture it with a LBD – yes I still think that’ll look great. Yet here I am, wearing it with my winter warmers out for a decaf latte with Mum. Listen up fashion bloggers, the way to your Mums photo taking heart is latte & cake.
I think it works really well with a simple outfit like this and I can even imagine it looking great with clashing colours! I just got a baby pink sweater from Missguided and I honestly think they’re a match made in heaven – coming soon to an instagram feed near you!!
BUT . . . do you know what my favourite thing ever about this bag is? It’s just like my Celine trio which is so wearable, yet it’s a fraction of the price. So if you know someone who’s been lusting after the Celine for a while then this would totally make the perfect Christmas gift rather than a poor quality dupe! It’s beautifully crafted and also comes in a range of colours so there’s something for everyone. This piece is actually from their Classics range which pretty much covers all bases – see the full collection here (you also get a free purse with the purchase of any classic handbag)!
Are you a colourful dresser or do you stick to neutrals like me?! Sometimes I think I’m allergic to colour!!

Thanks so much babe!
I love how the pink adds a big pop of colour in to the outfit. It makes it stand out but in a really nice, contrasting way. Although I’m not sure if I’d end up opting for the minimalistic colours to play it safe for me!

I know thats totally what I normally do so I am in shock I went for the bright colour, totally don’t regret it at all though!
Loving all the accessories of this, the glasses and the ‘pop of colour’ the bag brings to this outfit, it makes a casual outfit that bit more interesting! Also that coat is amazing!

I think Zara have done another version of it this year babe!
I’m the opposite, I need colour or I feel dull and dreary. I’m all about the warm colours, red, yellow and orange in all shades. I can’t stand an all neutral outfit on me. The bag isn’t me but I do like bright pink in a shade of lipstick. Knowing me I’d choose one of the above colours for the bag, I’m a bit predictable that way

I wish i was braver with colour like you are!! I am trying to be!
The colour of that bag is insane! It looks so great with grey and black. Love it!
