Diane von Furstenberg SS 2011
Sometimes, playing it safe is just plain boring. Diane von Furstenberg had a lot of striking geometrical prints in her collection, but one of the most eye-popping outfits was a solid red/orange top paired with a bright purple skirt. Why does this work? First, the two colors have a similar warmth and intensity. Second, the purse is used to draw the two pieces together.

For a bold color statement of your own, consider pairing a vivid orange or a magenta top with eggplant-hued, flared-leg pants. Pick up the purple in an ID badge lanyard or other accessories to keep the look cohesive.
