I recently photographed McKenzie, one of my 2013 Woodlands High Senior Model Reps, at a mini-session and loved how she added one bright accessory to her outfit. I always suggest this to clients and it really makes a difference. It can direct the eye, bring a touch of whimsy, create visual texture or throw in a bit of drama. McKenzie and her black and white polka dot dress photographed beautifully but when she added that red belt–WOW! She also had her toenails painted to match which pulls the look together even more. 

I’ve seen people add pops of color wonderfully in many different ways: lipstick, nail polish, shoes, hats, scarves, belts, barrettes, jewelry. Just make sure to choose a way that suits your personality and you are confident wearing. It’s a great way to highlight that body part you love about yourself or simply to show off your signature style.   

You can see more examples of how people are adding pops of color on my Pinterest “What to Wear” pages.
