I find a good way to add colour to your wardrobe is to slowly add small accessories that have a bright colour on them. One way to do this is by wearing a colour of nail polish. That way when you go shopping and you are wearing nail polish you can add clothes that match the nail polish you're wearing. Then once you get an accessory that matches, you will slowly be able to add full solid colours.
Another way to add colour to your wardrobe is by getting a scarf that varies in different patterns. Choose a main colour from the scarf and start from there. Get matching shoes or nail polish to let the colour look good with your outfit.
Find a nail polish that suits you and your wardrobe. Once you get more confident with wearing your favourite colour, you can start making that colour your base.
My base colour for this year is navy blue. I add colour to my outfits by wearing my fluorescent scarf and orange shoes. Sometimes I bring in a coloured ribbon to start an outfit.
This nail polish is a nice colour to use because it is not too out-there. It can be sophisticated or fun. It is also good because it is not too bright but not too dull.
If this colour is not your type, try it anyway! Step out of your comfort zone and have a go and if it doesn't work out try a different colour. If you feel self conscious about wearing coloured nail polish, how about trying a scarf to get your right colour?
