I love color, some of you may think excessively. In fact, I really enjoy wearing obnoxiously vibrant monochrome outfits. (It'll become more obvious as I blog more.) To avoid looking like a crazy person, I like to subtly mix shades of the same color and add patterned accessories, such as the scarf and shoes, to balance the outfit. 

Striking the right balance of colors can make you feel like a walking Matisse/Fauvist painting.  

However, I think the key to pulling an outfit off is confidence. And an awesome coat doesn't hurt either.
