Bookworms post with her favourite colours made me think it would be fantastic if this story could have a kinda of colour wheel for great colour combinations!? I’d love some more colour combo ideas

At the moment I’m loving:
bright red + royal blue
bright red + mustard yellow
light blue and bright yellow.

What else do people like to match?

Loving the orange and hot pink on Rebecca Hall – looks so fab! The trick is knowing which colours actually suit you, too. I’ve put a bit about this on my blog at http://www.bestylish.com.au/blog.html – would love it if some Mamamia readers took a little peek. x

So I tried a bright scarf. I was so excited and feeling really proud of myself. Then I went into the bathroom at work. Disaster.

hey black-clad, I thought I’d let you know that my mum is in her late 50s and she wears bright colours every day – reds, hot pink and oranges are her favourites. I think she is one of the most stylish ladies around. It’s not about age, but confidence!

Great easy steps – although yesterday’s gorgeous sunny day in Melbourne resulted in many people out there still getting it rather wrong. Perhaps handing out ‘Tips to Colour block’ leaflets in St Kilda may do the trick…

I was born for colourblocking.
If I wear pale or neutrals, I spend all day answering people’s worried queries: “No, I’m not sick,” and “No, I’m not tired.”
Best solution is to chuck on a bright pink t-shirt in the morning.

I still have flashbacks of red baggy jeans from my high school days so for that reason I would steer away from red. I’m loving bright pink, plum and turquoise for pants.
