Primary Color Influence

Maybe it's the kid in me but I can't stop noticing the pairing of primary colors. Red/Blue. Yellow/Blue. Red/Yellow. Red/Yellow/Blue.  I'm starting to sound like Dr. Seuss.  This primary color influence must be due to the inheritance of my thrifted yellow blouse (last seen here) and new most favorite thrift-additions, a pair of cobalt blue wide-leg pants and a pair of thrifted bright yellow satin strappy platform sandals.  I wore the shirt and pants together for a friend's event and was pleasently surprised by the happy response. Here's teaser snapshots for now but I promise a full post with outfit details sooner than later.

Looks like I'm not the "primary" one who's been color-inspired (badum ching!). Here are a few snapshots by Tommy Ton (the infamous style photographer behind Jak&Jil) captured outside the Spring 2012 Menswear shows in Europe. Since I can't make it to Europe anytime soon I think instead I'll find a parked NY Yellow cab and casually plant myself in front of it wearing my new cobalt blue pants and a red top. Maybe then he'll notice how casually cool I look for the perfect photograph. Hopefully at least he notices before the driver is back on duty and needs his car.
