Sorbet Colors

Hello, Summer!

Well, technically, it's whole-year summer right here in Indonesia, but hey, nobody's complaining. ;) Anyway, Summer is identical to hot, humid weather (which of course, is one of our country's trademarks), and what's the best way to adjust to it? Cold stuffs~~!!! Say, like, a glass of Freshly Squeezed Lemonade, a refreshing portion of Zaru Soba and of course, a cone of Ice Cream or even better, a scoop of Sorbet!

True to the title, on today's outfit post, I'm wearing Sorbet-colored clothes. From the grape toned outerwear, raspberry striped top to the minty green skirt, they all look and feel very summery to me XD ~All of them are also very lightweight, just perfect for this Summer's outdoor activities. 

Put together bright lenses and bright lips to complement the whole look.

Outfit: GOWIGASA Bold Vertical Top | GOWIGASA Silky Flare Skirt (upcoming collection's) | GOWIGASA Studded Belt Mocha | GOWIGASA Lilac Chiffon Outerwear | GOWIGASA Milk Envelope Bag / Clutch (upcoming collection's) | Hat & Shoes are from Japan

Color Me Brightly!

I don't know how many times I've said this, but I LOVE wearing colorful outfits! It's always FUN playing with colors –mixing and matching one color with another. Not to mention that wearing them can enhance my mood and lighten up my day!

Steve Madden's Cobalt Wedges –available in this color and shocking pink. Grab them before they are gone!

TIPS 
(on wearing bright-colored or colorful outfits):

Confidence is KEY!

Choose colors that complement each other.

This is The Color Wheel which will help to inspire creative color combinations. Print it out and stick it to your wall so you can refer to it when putting together an outfit.

Keep your accessories and make up to a minimum for a well-balanced look.

For the first timers, try to match at least two colors –one neutral and one bright. (Black and Red, for example)

In case you are worried to look too-colorful-i-look-like-a-clown, you might want to choose 'neighboring colors' in the Color Wheel. (Pink and Purple, for instance)

Safe choice of colors. (Little White Dress from GOWIGASA)

Good luck and don't be afraid to stand out! ;)
