Tips for adhering to a dress code and still be absolutely fashion forward? Playing with accessories! As showed above, it’s that splash of bright elevated these outfits. The small clutch and enviable colorblock pumps on Mandy Moore can help you transform from desk to dinner with ease while the roomy orange/red bag looks as good with a T shirt and slouchy jeans for weekends as it is with a blazer and pencil skirt for the office.

In Chinese: 既要遵守办公室的着装要求，又想展现好品味或者给无聊的制服增加些趣味？那就多花些心思在配件上吧！拼色的、有设计感或有趣的小配饰对整体造型的提升会超出你的想象。比如上面这两个造型，去掉这几个红色、橘色的装点就很平乏了。曼迪·摩尔(Mandy Moore)的这个小手包和让人过目不忘的别致包鞋可以让你从办公室到晚上的约会转换得轻松自如。辣妈杰西卡·奥尔芭(Jessica Alba)的这个好看又实用的双色手包在周末时搭配T恤、牛仔裤也一样出彩！

Check, Stripes & Polka Dots

Checks, stripes and polka dots are classic patterns that can be found in every woman’s wardrobe. But have you considered putting the three all together? The key is sticking to a simple color palette, like the basic black and white one seen on Olivia Palermo above.

Mixing two patterns that share at least one common color and the print elements are similar, is one easy way to get started. Once you are comfortable with the pattern-on-pattern look, start varying the sizes, then gradually add another pattern in. It’s advisable not to wear more than 3 patterns in the same outfit, which also get approved in today’s looks.

In Chinese: 棋盘格、条纹和圆点是我们每个女人衣橱都有的经典图案。你有想过把这三个混搭在一起吗？ 看看奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的这两个造新吧！不但不凌乱，而且把经典搭出了现代感。所有的元素都保持在简单的黑白色调里是其中的关键。如果你对于图案的混搭还处于入门阶段，先从两件有共同色、且图案大小差不多的单品开始，习惯后再尝试大小不同的图案，找到感觉后再试着加入第三个。像颜色一样，一个造型里的图案最好不要超过三个。

Bomber Jacket Meets Full Skirt

Another fabulously accessorized look that is great for many summer events. I love everything about this look: the fresh white and green palette, the contrast between her bomber jacket and feminine full skirt, the mimic elements on her cuff, shoe and Minaudiere which tie the whole outfit together, the barely there but oh-so-important leopard belt and her half-tuck hair.

In Chinese: 又一个来自混搭高手奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的造型，清新自然又不失潮感，适合夏日的很多活动。值得学习的地方有很多：清爽的配色、棒球外套和淑女长裙的混搭、把整身完美统一在一起的几何图案的配件，还有那些微小但对造型影响很大的细节，比如豹纹腰带和她看似随性、半塞进去的发型。
