lesson 1: Wear colors that suit your skin tone, this applies to hair colors also. we all are not Rihanna and must stick with colors that compliment our complexion.

lesson 2: Mix colors, with same intensity. what i mean is, when going for a pop-color top, make certain the other blocking colors are poping as well. mixing bright and drab colors has an unbalanced effect. i like how the lady below color blocks with pale colors, all color are of same intensity.
