Killer Color Combo: Periwinkle Blue and Scarlet Red
Confession: I get obsessed about one color for a week and then completely forget about it and get distracted with another color the next week. Last week, for example, all my Instagram pictures had something red! I made a centerpiece with red roses, I bought a new lipstick called “Who Wore It Red-Er” and even painted my nails in a tropical red tone.
On Sunday I did not not want to put aside the fun of this vibrant hue so I wore a periwinkle blue blouse and added a couple of scarlet red touches. The beautiful bracelet is from Red Buffalo Trading, an online store with handmade accessories from different Chinese rural areas. Isn’t it beautiful? I also tried a new nail color called “Watermelon” from Essie, it looks amazing and matched the bracelet!
These shades of blue and red are a lovely combination. I’ve seen them a couple of times working together in decoration, like here and here, a blue wall with red accessories, is quite pretty. The nearly neutral blue balances the energy of the red and creates a surprising effect.
What color have you been using a lot lately?
Well this colour combination looks amazing on you.

Thank you so much, Meghan!
So pretty! Blue and red are a great combo! I get obsessed with certain colors for a time as well! Sometimes I can’t stop wearing purple, sometimes blue, sometimes black, etc.

Yes, and sometimes is not just about a color but about a new dress or top that we love and we can’t stop wearing, right?
That color combination looks so pretty! You look great
Thank you so much, Maru. I can’t wait for next Thursday and your new column, it’s going to be fun!
You look lovely Elba! The bangle looks beautiful with your outfit, thanks for featuring it. I really love that bright bazaar photo with the red boots and blue wall. What a striking combination!
I know, I’m obsessed with that room. I’m glad you like it, I truly adore that bangle!
