Hi all,
I love colour but try to be very restrained and try to limit to one item - usually scarf or cardi - often red/blush/turquoise. I am blonde and fair but a little tanned thanks to Clarins!
I have bought www.reiss.co.uk/shop/womens/knitwear/mo/frenchnavy/
How can I add a bit of colour to this other than shoes or bag? Do I need to or can I just get away with a bit more benetint on my lips than usual- Not sure if I have got in a bit of a bright colours rut!!
Thanks in anticipation!

I'd prob go for a little scarf - patterned with some red and blue in it (have got one which would look loverlee) and red shoes. And go rabid with the benetint on lips and cheeks to boot.

I'd probably avoid red as +navy is a bit too hello sailor. Would prefer pink, very flattering close to the face too if you go for a scarf or a tank/ tee underneath

With white skinnies and metallic flats maybe

Excellent-thanks for the help....great food for thought.
I do like Reiss, however I am a very impulse shopper and wish they did refunds sometimes!!

ooh look

pretty pale green can be surprisingly good with blue. Suits blondes too. Perhaps a patterned scarf with main colours of cream and green with maybe some deeper blue tones. Sorry no links, but so many scarves around in shops you should spot something!

ooohhh.... colouring is pale with blue eyes and natural-but-helped-along-blonde hair (but a year round LIGHT tan courtesy of Clarins)
I do like that vest from FCUK...have a credit voucher for there also!!

Orange or bright green chucky beads would look nice.
