10 Colors You Should Wear More Often
<p>I've been doing more on-camera work lately for my fashion projects, and have been paying a lot more attention to color than ever before. Namely, I've all but given up my beloved black. Turquoise, coral, chocolate, pink: these are my new go-to colors. But color doesn't just take pretty pictures; if you really want to shake up your wardrobe, the best way to do it is by injecting <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/od/colortips/ss/colorstowear.htm">beautiful colors </a>into your everyday look.</p><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border:1px solid #d5d0bf;clear:both;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/b/2010/03/18/10-colors-you-should-wear-more-often-2.htm">10 Colors You Should Wear More Often</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/">About.com Women's Fashion</a> on Thursday, March 18th, 2010 at 12:44:06.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/b/2010/03/18/10-colors-you-should-wear-more-often-2.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/b/2010/03/18/10-colors-you-should-wear-more-often-2.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://fashion.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://fashion.about.com/b/2010/03/18/10-colors-you-should-wear-more-often-2.htm&zItl=10 Colors You Should Wear More Often">Email this</a></p>
What to Wear Now: Floral Dresses
<p><a href="http://fashion.about.com/od/dresses/tp/floraldresses.htm"><img src="http://z.about.com/d/fashion/1/6/5/W/3/_6014761.jpg" border="0" alt="orange flora" hspace="5" align="left" /></a>I need someone to get married this spring and invite me to their fabulous outdoor wedding because I've already picked out the dress (pictured, left). My favorite florals are oversized hothouse blooms or abstracts -- not much of a fan of the ditsy floral -- in pretty colors like orange or purple. The <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/od/dresses/tp/floraldresses.htm">newest floral dresses</a> come in trim shift silhouettes that let the print take center stage.

Not Dressed Up, Somewhere to Go
<p><img class="left" src="http://z.about.com/d/fashion/1/9/4/W/3/Picture-127.jpg" alt="null" width="100" height="150" />Yesterday, after a fun night out of town with my 7-year-old at a Taylor Swift concert (you've never seen so many skirts and cowboy boots in your life!) , I found myself facing a surprise business�meeting with nothing more to wear than jeans and sneakers. And at 9 a.m..�the only store�open was Target. I had less than an hour to put together something acceptable for a casual business meeting. Honestly, I haven't used Target for clothing other than workout clothes so I was surprised by some of the cute -- and cheap -- pieces I found. My jean jacket -- which I really like -- was just $24.99. The sheer shirt under it just $19.99. I bought earrings (2 pair), shoes, a bag (the world's cutest $14.99 bag with zipper treatments) and sunglasses. Honestly, can't say I loved the pants (I like a longer crop) or the shoes, but they were passable for the day and got me through the meeting. (Photo Credit: Angela M.

What to Wear Now: Military Influences

The <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/od/latesttrends/tp/military.htm">military look</a> gets its legs from olive and khaki canvas pieces; it mixes back well with earthy pieces like rope-heel espadrille or cork wedges and wood accessories. If all that olive drab and khaki isn't your speed, add color pops in orange, coral or yellow.

Fashion's Biggest Night Leaves Me Feeling, Well, Underwhelmed
<p><a href="http://fashion.about.com/od/celebritystyle/ig/Oscar-Fashion-2010/"><img src="http://z.about.com/d/fashion/1/6/j/V/3/97515206_10.jpg" alt="maggie" align="left" border="0" hspace="5"/></a>Sure, there were moments at the Oscars where an actress really got it right like <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/od/celebritystyle/ig/Oscar-Fashion-2010/Maggie-Gyllenhaal.-Zfl.htm">Maggie Gyllenhaal</a> in that spectacular hand-painted Dries van Noten strapless gown or <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/od/celebritystyle/ig/Oscar-Fashion-2010/Cameron-Diaz.-Zg0.htm">Cameron Diaz </a>in a strapless gold beaded Oscar de la Renta. But mostly, everything was just passable, like <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/od/celebritystyle/ig/Oscar-Fashion-2010/Sandra-Bullock.-Zfo.htm">Sandra Bullock's</a> match-to-Oscar-statute gold Marchesa or <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/od/celebritystyle/ig/Oscar-Fashion-2010/Jennifer-Lopez.-Zfy.htm">Jennifer Lopez'</a> over-the-top Armani.

I guess the bottom line is other than an overwhelming amount of gold, ruffles, messy updos (what was <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://fashion.about.com/od/celebritystyle/ig/Oscar-Fashion-2010/Sarah-Jessica-Parker.-Zfs.htm">SJP</a> thinking?) and front slits, Oscar fashion this year just left me feeling a little underwhelmed.
