We all get bored with our wardrobes from time to time. Sometimes it happens gradually as you find yourself reaching for the same top and jeans weekend after weekend. Or maybe it hits you all at once as you frantically tear apart your closet in search of the perfect outfit. Either way, wardrobe ennui is a problem that strikes even the most pulled together, fashionable women.
But solving this problem is much easier (and cheaper!) than going out and buying a new outfit every time you have a date to go on (or work to go to on Monday morning or Saturday plans to hang out with friends…you get the idea). Simply looking at what you currently own and rethinking stodgy fashion rules (Don’t mix prints! Black and brown don’t match! Bright on bright is too much color!) is a fabulous way to refresh your wardrobe.

Mixing Prints
Mixing stripes with floral or floral with paisley may sound like a fashion faux pas, but with the right balance and color combination these patterns are smashing partnership. The key is keeping it all in the same color family or, if you’re really daring, choosing wildly contrasting color schemes. It’s also a good idea to balance out a large, bold pattern with a smaller one.
Brown & Black
Brown and black have long been a taboo duo. But when done correctly, this unexpected pairing is a stylish switch from your everyday wardrobe. This color combo also provides the perfect backdrop for this summer’s trendy wooden jewelry
Bright on Bright
Pairing bright yellow with bright orange may seem like something that should only occur in a citrus grove, but summertime is the perfect time to mix brights with brights. Keeping warm colors with other warm colors and cool with cool is a simple guideline that will help keep vibrant color combos from looking garish.
