Today, I tried pairing today's sale item, a fun blue 1960s schoolgirl skirt by Summit of Boston with a bit more color. I confess, I did some matching (scope out a close up on that belt and bag and you'll see), but overall I tried to mix it up some. How do you deal with color?

I love the combination of colors you put together! I love usually having one bright piece, but the other colors have to be light/dark in order for it to work for me.
Very pretty. I love color and usually mix one bold piece with neutrals. Sometimes I'll combine color - I have a short red sweater that my Mom knit for me and I like wearing it with a grassy green t-shirt and black pants. BTW, I consider red shoes a neutral. ; )
i enjoy mixing patterns a lot, like polka dots and stripes, or leopard and floral, but i also really enjoy a monochromatic outfit, you have to make sure you are getting similar shades but an all over monochromatic look makes just as much of a statement as a bold print/color!
Love how you paired it together. It's such a classic look. I adore these shoes!

Looks terrific! I tend to wear something black and then add some color, but I'm not averse to mixing things up. Pale blue and red. Yellow and gray. Navy and red. It all depends.
