I remember it like it was yesterday…we were on our way to visit some friends and I dressed myself in a glorious ensemble and completed the look with a snappy white wicker purse shaped like a turkey.
As I strutted my four year old self to the door, I was met with blank stares from my mom and my Nana. It was then suggested that I rethink some part of my outfit because Pink and Red do Not Go Together. And worst of all, I was apparently the last and only person not to know this.
I was stunned, embarrassed, flummoxed…not only was it the prettiest color combination ever, but what were these elusive Color Rules no one had clued me in on?
Just last year, and mostly for convenience sake, I deemed that Navy and Black together are downright chic. Can we all agree to abandon these silly rules which are keeping us from our authentic color selves? All but the one about planting red and yellow tulips together, now that really is a crime.
