Get Saturated With a Bright Color

If all-things-blue isn’t your thing, then substitute a neutral-colored top with a rich, bright colored one. To do this, try pairing crimson or mustard yellow with a pair of dark-wash denim. A black handbag and flats completes the outfit without taking your eyes off the blueness of your jeans. Valentines Day outfit inspo, anyone?
