Color Coded

Color coded | Three Color Dressing

Try wearing no more than three colors per outfit; excluding tonals of any one of those three colors. This is an easy way to make your look more interesting.

Things to note:
// Black and white are technically shades
You can be more flexible about integrating these into your outfits. For example, you can wear four colors if one of them is white. 
// Metal jewelry 
Stick to one shade for each outfit, either gold or silver, particularly for chunky jewelry like statement necklaces and watches. I sometimes break this rule because I like mixed metal but I think sticking with one shade helps with simplicity.  
//Red lips count! 

You don’t have to dress like this all the time but this can be a helpful tip when putting a look together. 
Here are some examples of dressing in colors of three:

I'm Michele - a designer and creative, but mostly a Mama to my twin two-year-old girls Macie Lou & Marlowe. Wright for Michele is a Portland based Lifestyle blog devoted to cultivating stylish, relatable and creative content. It also serves as a personal time capsule of my family’s journeys, giggling and stumbling a bit, through it all.

ABOUT THE BLOG

Wright for Michele is a Portland based lifestyle blog devoted to cultivating stylish, relatable and creative content. It also serves as a personal time capsule of my family’s journeys, giggling and stumbling a bit, through it all.

I started "Wright for Michele" back in 2010 as a creative outlet and to share the things I love (basically the exact same reason the rest of the internet started blogging). Often this blog is about family, sometimes it’s about style, and in general it’s about life and how you (and me) can make every single area in it, better. It’s simple, it’s real (sometimes a little raw and almost always full of grammatical errors), it’s honest and hopefully no matter what it’s a little sweet.
