Better in Bright


A tourist from Manchester, England shopping for jewelry in Chora, Mykonos

Bright colors can make anyone’s outfit pop. This shopper in Mykonos paired multiple colors together, to create an eye-catching effect with her outfit. The Greek islands are the best time to pull your florals and bright colors out from the back of your closet. The white and blue buildings create a beautiful contrast with a colorful outfit, such as this one. The green sweater easily matches the pastel colored flowers in her shorts, while the glitter design adds another texture to this outfit. This shopper mentioned that this top belonged to her mother when she was young. Not only does it match perfectly with her outfit, but it has sentimental value as well. The blazer portion of her top, adds a retro aspect. Vintage items are awesome for this reason: they are so different from pieces you can find now.

In this full-body shot you can see all of the aspects of her outfit, including her look-alike designer shoes.

Shoes can make or break an outfit. In the case of this shopper, they are the standout point. She admitted that she modeled the outfit around her shoes. Once she picked them out, she knew she needed more bright colors and fun accessories to match. Anyone who has ever watched "Sex and the City" knows that Monolo Blahnik's are a girls best friend. This designer shoe brand is coveted by girls all around the world for their iconic brooch heels. She said she has been craving the Monolo Blahnik heel for years, but they do not fit her foot. These shoes can cost up to $1,000, but this shopper knows how to find a great deal. She found her flats at Zara for a very reasonable price. Zara is a well-known store across Europe for it's affordable and trendy clothing. Zara is also the first company to come up with the idea of 'fast fashion'. This business model revolves around the idea of selling trendy clothing for cheap prices, and continuously switching it out as new styles become popular. Many stores such as H&M and Forever 21, have followed Zara's lead.

The details in her shorts, as well as her sweater, are seen very clearly here.

Florals in Greece are essential. Matching the location you will be visiting is charming, and in Greece flowers are everywhere! The pretty pastel colors in these shorts are a great contrast against her green sweater. When wearing bright colors, it is very pretty to contrast your colors against one another. For instance, pink and green are exactly opposite each other on the color wheel. The antithesis of these two colors helps draw eyes towards your outfit. This vintage Burberry purse is part of a larger set, but this Fashionista decided to only carry the smaller of the two with her. Carrying a small purse, such as this one, will make it much easier for you to keep track of your items.

This picture clearly shows the beautiful designs in her accessories.

To pull together this look, she added stunning accessories. These oversized earrings are almost the exact color of her top. The playful aspect in her earrings, tie in with her colorful and frilly shorts. Her brooch like earrings are very similar to her shoes, easily matching them to one another. Jewelry can very easily be overdone, but this Fashionista kept all of her other jewelry very simple, letting her shorts, shoes, and earrings stand out the most. Eye makeup is another way to spice up your outfit. Adding a fun winged eyeliner effect can draw attention to the shape of your eyes. When deciding to add more eye makeup, she kept the rest of her makeup minimalistic, wearing a very natural shade of lipstick.
